Average reduction in time to hire
For business-critical hires, there are occasions when traditional contingent recruitment doesn’t cut the mustard. Retained recruitment allows organisations access to specialist talent in a shorter timeframe.
Why retained recruitment?
As a business, we have found retained recruitment to be one of the best ways to support our clients. Retained recruitment is a commitment for both parties, which means we can dedicate more manpower and resources to your needs. Through a monthly retainer fee, we will build specialist talent pools around your specific workforce requirements, securing the very best talent within the parameters you set.
We will work to build a long-lasting partnership with you, based on strong communication, transparency, and a commitment to saving you time by only putting the most ideal candidates in front of you.
