Recruitment

Let us be your own recruitment manager, minus the expensive agency fees

We know that having the right person in the right place at the right time is crucial to your business’s performance. A great hire can boost team productivity and staff morale.

Replacing employees can be expensive, hiring can drain manager time and finding a replacement can be expensive when you factor in search agency fees or advertising costs.

We don’t charge expensive search and selection fees like a recruitment agency. We provide recruitment process outsourcing where our HR team acts as your recruitment manager, providing services on a time-recorded basis. For clients on one of our plans we would deduct time from your monthly plan hours to cover recruitment activities and for clients paying ad-hoc we would charge £150 per hour.
