Recruitment

There are fewer more important jobs than recruiting new staff. Get it wrong and you can face many years regretting your decision, having to spend time and money managing the weak link you have introduced into your team.

It’s not just the interview. There’s the job design, person specification for candidates, advertising the post, shortlisting – all must be undertaken carefully or you may not find the right person.

Add to that, pre-employment safeguards such as reference requests, asylum and immigration checks, offer letters, contracts of employment and induction training and effective recruitment becomes an onerous task for SMEs without a dedicated HR department.

That’s why at PiP we offer a full recruitment and selection system, taking responsibility for ensuring the process is fair, legal and productive from start to finish. We even provide the difficult feedback for disappointed candidates. They deserve it and it reflects well on the professionalism of client companies that it is delivered appropriately.

And, unlike many others, we do not base our fee on a percentage of the vacant post’s salary, as our high level of service and attention is the same whether you are recruiting an office clerk or works manager. Instead we charge a single project fee that will reflect our input into the recruitment process. That’s the PRIDE in People way.
