It’s all about how we can save YOU time and money in your recruitment process
Recruitment Agencies are much of a muchness? They all do the same thing… badly…
v Sending loads of CVs for candidates who aren’t relevant
v Sending CVs of candidates who aren’t even interested in the position
v Arranging interviews for people who simply aren’t right
v Poor communication
v Don’t fill half of the requirements you give them
Do any of these strike a cord? .. Probably.. so how does a GOOD recruitment agency add value to your recruitment process and more importantly save you time and money?
Passive and new candidates
We reach out to new “passive” candidates all the time, we are continually building our candidate network even when you are not recruiting. This means that unlike online Job Board adverting and the associated databases where the same candidate CVs keep popping up, we are speaking to and building new connections so that when you are recruiting, fresh talent is able to view and consider your opportunity instantly.
Proactive in our nature
We work hard on your behalf proactively contacting candidates and marketing your opportunity to them. Our job is part sales and part marketeer. We take your vacancy and model it to grab attention and inspire people to respond. Good people are in demand, good recruiters ensure that your message stands out for the dozens of weekly approaches.
We only send relevant and interested candidates – (they all say that – but we do)
Here at SER Ltd we work with Clients and benchmark our service. If we send relevant CVs then we pay you for wasting your time !
This way you are only viewing and giving feedback on candidates that matter, a far better service to you and the candidates. We remember that if we speak to a candidate about a position with your company then we need to provide the level of customer services to them that you would expect. A bad candidate experience with SER, could mean that candidate has a bad candidate experience with you also.
Can we replace your internal recruiter?
If you don’t hire too much and the roles in the main are highly specialist could we save you the cost of an internal recruiter over a 12month period? Good recruiters are worth their weigh in gold in a candidate driven market. They let you know when good talent is potentially available, they let you know when someone is leaving a competitor, they market your business continually, they can let you know what your competitors are doing recruitment wise, salary wise. They can respond quickly to business changes and fill gaps in your workforce fast.
Save you Time
This is probably the main reason why agencies remain the main calling point for recruitment.
With connections and databases to hand built up over years and years of networking, advertising and direct approaching. Specialist recruiters in most cases offer the fastest solutions.
We also save time through:
v Initial candidate screening and interviewing
v Referencing and vetting candidates
v Administration duties – Right to work checks, DBS checks, Driving Licence checks
v We arrange interviews and bring together feedback
v Broker salary requirements and offers of employment
v Tackle handing in notices and important dealing with employer counter offers
Guarantee Period or Rebate Period
We put our money where our mouth is and offer a rebate period over the first 3 months. This means that if your chosen hire leaves within the first 12 weeks for whatever reason we will give you all or a percentage of the fee you paid back. Meaning we carry some of the risk. It’s in our best interest to find you only the most suitable candidate.
So above is a guide to what we can offer you and how we save you time and money in your recruitment process. They are also a few things that we do which ensure’s that we deliver:
We need to chat at the start – a fair bit really
It’s key that we really understand you and your recruitment plan. Not just the skills that you are looking for, but the person, motivators, culture and what their will need to be a success in your organisation. It can take up to an initial 30 minutes conversation for us to gain all the information. Obviously if we can meet at your offices then that’s even better as we can feel first hand what the culture and environment is like. Even the small things are important, such as how easy your offices are the find and what the car parking facilities are.
Pressure
We are Consultants and so like to consult but we will never put pressure on you to meet a candidate, like wise we never put pressure on a candidate to attend an interview. We do however highlight issues, if we feel they are being overlooked or a candidate holds a certain skill but has failed to outline that on their CV.
Throw some CVs at it!
Some vacancies will generate more CVs then others, but good recruiters are able to screen candidates effectively and ensure that you only see the very best applications. We never just fire CVs over to you and hope !
Feedback
Some feedback is good and some feedback is bad, we talk to you no matter what the feedback is.
