Solutions to Your Hiring Challenges

I’ve spent 25 years in recruitment, most of that time talking with HR professionals. One thing is clear: the typical multi-agency contingency model no longer works.

This model prioritises quantity over quality. Recruiters are incentivised to send CVs quickly, not to run a thorough or inclusive process. It can damage the candidate experience and harm your employer brand.

Why do employers still use it? Often, because they’re already running their own process and want a few extra CVs. It feels low-risk since fees only apply if a candidate is hired. Even if only a couple of roles get filled, the fees can be spread across several vacancies, making it appear acceptable. But the truth is, it rarely delivers long-term value.

To celebrate 25 years in recruitment (yes, I started at 12!), I’ve created three solutions designed to give you better options:

• Candidate Attraction Only
  If you just need CVs to add to your process, I’ll focus on sourcing and hand candidates over for you to manage.

• Full Process Partnership
  If you want a recruitment partner to run the process from start to finish, I’ll manage everything for a fixed fee based on salary level.

• Fractional Consulting
  If you need something in between, we can create a bespoke solution. That might mean fractional support from me or from someone in my trusted network.

These solutions are built to address the challenges I hear most often. But if you have specific needs, I’m always open to tailoring an approach. If this resonates, let’s have a chat about how we can work together in the most productive way.
