Recruitment on Demand
Also known as Contingency Search! Often known as Agency Recruitment! It’s a commonly used Recruitment tool, and there are obvious benefits, including the No Foal, No Fee arrangement for payment of services. You have probably used this service before, most companies have!
But we are different. We are not a recruitment agency, we are a recruitment consulting firm. There is a big difference, and it makes a big difference! You get all the cost/risk benefits, but also a professional service. And our fill rate is more than twice the industry average! As a professional Talent Acquisition firm, we do things the right way. Sometimes this may take longer, but the results are better.
Firstly, you get access to our expansive advertising reach and candidate database, our online reach, our network that has been cultivated and nurtured over many years, our expertise, and also our commitment to the industry’s best standards.
Our goal is to present you with a small number of skilled candidates that meet the criteria agreed.
We present all our insights into the candidates that we submit, we present you with all of the supplementary information that we know you need, and we work with you to broker a deal after you have made the final selection decision. We offer all of our expertise in selection process design, and can support your process by conducting a whole suite of tests (Psychometric testing, personality profiling, aptitude testing, cultural fit testing etc) to ensure that your process is robust and compliant, and while also ensuring an excellent candidate experience. (note – there is a cost for testing services, and selection process design)
But we also remove all the hard work. We set up interviews, we complete reference checks, we send regret letters, we make employment offers, we broker the deal and we issue contracts. It’s full-service recruitment, completed to the highest standards, with low risk in terms of fees. All we need is your commitment, and you’ll have ours, and more.
Premium Search
Premium Search is about making recruitment better and easier, for you! Higher placement rate, with better candidates, and quicker turn-around. It’s that simple! In short, Premium Search by Hartley People is a full end-to-end Search & Selection offering, delivered as an augmented service for partner clients and hard-to-fill, or niche skilled vacancies.
At the outset, we develop a detailed Sourcing Strategy & Plan (SSP), to ensure that we profile and source the best-fit candidate for your vacancy, at your company. Every SSP is unique, designed for your business!
Then we get down to business, finding, attracting and selecting the best people that fit your company and people.
This is what you can expect!
We work to develop a detailed candidate profile, and a tailored sourcing strategy/plan, that is specific to the requirements of the company and role. Thereafter, We set out timelines, milestones, a reporting framework and a candidate experience plan.
We typically start by mapping the market and providing you with a detailed analysis of your industry’s talent pool. This service helps us (and you!) to gain a better understanding of the availability and quality of potential candidates in your industry, and is usually the fore-runner to the Head-hunt process.
We can use our extensive network (developed over 2 decades) and industry knowledge to identify and approach the candidates from the passive market, most often not available through standard search and advertising channels. Our experienced Team deep dives on the data gathered during the market mapping process, and identifies a target list of candidates with the requisite skills, experience and industry knowledge.
Hartley People understand that every vacancy and therefore every recruitment process is unique, and our process changes accordingly. We provide customised selection process design services for each role.
We can utilise psychometric and skills testing, which helps us to assess candidates’ cognitive abilities, personality traits, and technical skills. We also use a range of testing tools and techniques to evaluate candidates’ suitability for the role such as Cultural Fit Assessments, In Tray exercises, Competency Based Interviews, Assessment Centres, Portfolio reviews etc.
We can also Chair (or participate on) the interview panel, to help augment the predictive validity of the interview process as a tool within the overall selection process. We help our clients to manage and assess all information available on candidates from the process, to ensure the best selection decision is reached.
Our job doesn’t stop when we identify the best candidate. It’s our business to get this candidate over the line, for you. This can mean navigating roadblocks and jumping all the fences as they are presented. Ultimately, we maximise your chances of getting the signature on the dotted line!
