Recruitment and
selection support

Recruitment can be a very costly and time-consuming process, which needs to be handled carefully so you get the right person into the job, manage costs and avoid any discrimination claims.

We have a wealth of experience in recruitment and can offer you clear and practical guidance. We can partner you at different stages or throughout the whole recruitment process to help you hire the best people for your business. Recruitment can be expensive and therefore it is essential that the right candidate is identified. We can assist you with:

• Defining job roles (conducting job role analysis, preparing job descriptions and person specification)
• Attracting applicants (placing recruitment adverts, liaising with recruitment agencies and addressing diversity gaps)
• Managing the application and selection process (receiving and reviewing application forms and CVs and candidate selection)
• Making the appointment (conducting pre-employment checks, obtaining references, issuing offer letters and contracts of employment)

Employee induction strategy and planning

It is important to ensure that right from the start an employee is successfully integrated into the organisation to enable the process of them settling into their new role, building up positive working relationships and finding a role for themselves within a team.

We can support you by designing induction programmes in line with your business structure and objectives, and induction documentation to accompany this. During the initial stages of employment, we can help you to identify training needs for new employees, support managers at meetings with employees during their probationary period and prepare supporting documentation.
