Our client has many retail outlets throughout the UK and a seasonal recruitment programme. Naturally staff turnover is high. When their newspaper advertising was no longer delivering sufficient candidates to justify the spiralling cost, and they were becoming bogged down with sifting through CVS, they contacted us.
Their brief was simple enough. “Reduce our recruitment costs. Help us to manage the time we spend on recruiting more effectively.”
Our recommendations? After doing a root and branch audit of their recruitment processes and, gaining an almost forensic understanding of the people they were looking for, we suggested our online recruitment solution YourAdPlus. Why?
- At just £345 plus VAT, their professionally written relevant keyword rich advert would run on all of the appropriate nationwide job boards for a four week period with an option of a further week.
- Their workload would be minimised because our REC qualified team would filter the CVs according to their preselected criteria before sending the ‘chosen ones’ to their HR Department.
- We also set up a search and selection process across all of the job boards and the social networking sites to attract the attention of passive applicants.
- We managed to reduce their recruitment costs. The magic of YourAdPlus is that when a client recruits more than one person for the same role, advertising under ‘multiple jobs available’, the cost remains the same no matter the size of their advert.
And the result? Our clients successfully filled their seasonal vacancies at a lower cost than their previous methods. They now have an ongoing YourAdPlus
