Why we're effective - adding value
Recruitment is fundamental to the success of any organisation. Attracting and selecting the "right" people at the "right" time can be like using dynamite: done correctly it can move your business to a higher level, but get it wrong and the negative implications can be significant to the bottom line.
The majority of HR professionals endorse this statement, but in reality having the time, resources and specialist expertise in-house can provide a challenge - particularly when you may only want the capability for a short while, or for a specific project.
This is where an outsourced consultancy option comes into its own. Your organisation can tap into a team of recruitment specialists who can partner with you, but never appear on your headcount or necessitate a long-term financial commitment.
Effective
Long-term relationships work well for both parties. However, outsourcing sometimes provides short-term interventions to get you up and running. It can be highly effective, and even essential, to put in place new competencies, assessor training, on-line application forms or revamped assessment centres. Once in place and working well, some organisations (with appropriate training) take back full ownership.
"Dave has always shown high professionalism, competence and reliability: the graduate assessment centres we ran were important to us, both to give a good image externally and to get the best candidates ... we got really good feedback from candidates and our own managers."
Outsourced Recruitment
At Nelson Griffiths, we provide all manner of flexible outsourced solutions, which may be as short-term as providing you with extra interview help, or some psychometric testing. Others look for the greater involvement of, for example, developing and facilitating an assessment centre or managing a total recruitment campaign. It's really all about using our expertise to suit your business need.
Our Expertise / Your Need
Many believe approaching an external consultancy as an outsourced solution to be too expensive. However, the outlay would normally be far less than a full-time head, with salary, benefits and tax commitments. An effective recruitment campaign, with high retention rates, can represent a very tangible long-term cost saving. We have been extremely successful in supporting HR teams to achieve business buy-in to outsourced solutions and help them to excel in their objectives.
