What We Do
Areas of Expertise
Optimizing the Process
As a company grows, establishing a standardized recruitment process becomes essential. The most effective processes minimize disruption to the business while thoroughly qualifying candidates. While processes may vary slightly by role, key elements like interview questions and structure, stakeholder involvement, and approval procedures all require thoughtful planning to ensure a positive candidate experience.
Employer Branding
If you want people to be excited about joining your business, you and your hiring team need to become experts at selling the vision of working together. Elements like job descriptions, careers pages, benefits, workplace policies, and effectively communicating what makes your culture unique all play a vital role in attracting top talent.
Hiring Manager Training
People choose managers, not companies, when looking for a new role. Anyone involved in hiring must understand that they shape how candidates perceive your business. From structured questioning and interview etiquette to addressing unconscious bias and effectively selling the opportunity, there’s a lot to master before you begin hiring at scale.
Cost Saving & Tooling
As your company grows, knowing where to spend and understanding the hidden costs of recruitment can be challenging. Finding the best return on investment between application volume vs quality, Which ATS to use as well as navigating the complexities of working with recruitment agencies, requires experience and insight. With years of experience on both sides of the hiring process, we provide expert advice and guidance to help you adopt a cost-effective hiring strategy while avoiding common pitfalls in the recruitment industry.
Competency Mapping
The best way to determine your hiring needs is to understand what 'great' already looks like within your business. By identifying the values and competencies that define success in specific roles, you can attract the right talent while also mapping out these characteristics at various levels to create engaging career roadmaps for your current employees. Attracting great people is important, but the real key to success is retaining them.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
As businesses grow, prioritizing DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) becomes essential – but achieving meaningful progress is often easier said than done. While many suppliers promise results at steep costs, there are practical, organic (and low cost) strategies that companies can implement to drive sustainable change.
Graduate & Placement Schemes
One of the most effective ways to scale your business, attract top talent, and develop future permanent employees is by creating appealing placement and graduate programs. With years of experience, we can plan, deliver, and even manage these programs for you – or equip you with the skills to do it yourself.
Data Led Hiring
The key to building high-performing teams is understanding what makes your top performers exceptional and replicating those traits in future hires. Data provides valuable insights into what works, what doesn't, and how to improve your hiring strategy.
Proactive Sourcing & Pipelining
While it's crucial to know what you need to hire right now, it's equally important to anticipate your hiring needs 1, 2, or even 5 years down the line. Whether you're focused on targeting competitors, local companies or specific technical skills, mapping out specific targets and building relationships with potential candidates can be the difference between scaling quickly with the best or settling for mediocrity.
