Did you know?
According to a recent study from SHL Group and the Future Foundation, poor selection and people management is costing UK companies an average of £1,000 per employee per year. So when would you like to start saving money?
Great on paper and great at interview doesn’t always mean you get the best person for the job. Similarly, allowing someone to shine and demonstrate their true colours in just 30 minutes can be less than easy. Selecting a new member for your team to ensure he or she will fit with your organisation’s culture, to maximise return and investment and help your organisation to increase its value needs to be a careful and informed process.
You are investing a great deal of time, money and effort in recruitment costs and in their subsequent development, and that means you deserve nothing but the best in return. How often do we hire someone that just doesn’t fit in? How often do we experience a totally different person than the one we met at the interview? How much does having to go through the whole process again cost your organisation? The 2008 Annual CIPD Recruitment, Retention and Turnover Survey reported that the average cost of filling a job vacancy (when taking account of the associated labour turnover costs) is £5,800.
Understanding what you need, we don’t just scratch the surface; we use our experience to bring out the best in people and show you the real person inside. We will tailor the process and approach to meet your individual requirements.
