Signing up with a recruitment firm can make staff sourcing more straightforward. Most agencies have extensive networks that connect your business to the people it needs.
However, these services often feel mechanical; you request someone for a position and the recruiter fills it. But they don’t go beyond that into consultancy services that improve your underlying processes and enhance overall strategy.
That’s where Manchester Staff’s consultancy services can help. These provide a more comprehensive approach to recruitment across multiple domains, enhancing how your business does talent acquisition and retention.
Improving Recruitment Processes
Part of our consultancy involves improving your recruitment processes. Getting these right makes it more straightforward to find people to find roles.
The process starts with our 20-step search and selection method to identify candidates that meet your specifications. Prospective employees undergo multiple screening layers, with heavy scrutiny of their CV, employment history, and motivation to join your firm. During this process, we look for signals indicating a specific person fits your objectives and can deliver the support you require to achieve your business objectives.
Interview Training for Hiring Managers
We also offer interview training for your hiring managers so you can bring more sophisticated employee selection techniques in-house. Team members learn optimal selection algorithms and how to pick people who can slot into your business model.
For example, we can aid you in developing superior assessment tools to determine whether a person has the specific skills you require. Calibrating these lets you better select suitable candidates for the offered roles.
We also assist with interview techniques to ensure the candidate fits culturally. Our processes help you develop consistent and fair interviews that avoid bias and other issues that could prevent you from attracting the best people. Manchester Staff prioritises behavioural interviewing techniques, including evaluating a candidate’s job history and performance to determine their likelihood of delivering future success.
Market and Competitor Analysis
Part of our consulting approach to recruitment also involves looking at rival companies and seeing how they attract talented individuals. These investigations unearth where you are falling behind and what you should do to improve.
For example, we help Manchester businesses with our deep knowledge of specific industries, like construction, IT, marketing, legal services, and education. Our insights and extensive networks allow us to find talent other agencies can’t.
We also look at factors like supply and demand. These help us determine whether new workers in specific fields will become available, or when certain sectors will experience shortages. This analysis often goes hand-in-hand with salary information, and how much you can expect to pay to attract the people you want.
Competitor analysis involves studying the recruitment channels and job posting rivals use and how successful they are. We look at the tactics they use and whether you should emulate them.
Employer Branding Support
We also analyse your employer branding to determine your relative strengths and weaknesses. Our team helps you build a more positive public image, portraying you as an exceptional workplace.
One strategy is to design and market the unique benefits of working with you. Creating a strong employer value proposition by focusing on a positive work-life balance and company culture can help attract fussy workers with more options.
Our consultancy services can also help in other ways, including:
- Designing staff surveys and learning from feedback
- Using employee testimonials to improve the employee experience
- Creating a brand identity with consistent messaging about what it is like to work for you
Onboarding Support for New Hires
Onboarding support for new hires is also a part of our services. We can design your welcome and orientation services, help you with mentoring, and identify training needs, allowing you to respond to gaps in employee knowledge quickly. These elements improve the likelihood than employees will stay with you for longer, reducing turnover.
Benefits and Package Audits
Finally, we can assist with your compensation design to make your business as competitive as possible. This consulting service allows you to compare existing pay and benefits packages with your rivals to see whether you are tracking industry trends.
We start with employee surveys to understand how workers regard benefits (i.e. what do they want?) This approach lets you allocate resources more efficiently by avoiding unwanted perk provisions. Then, we review your existing benefits and payment packages to see whether they are earning you maximum return on investment (ROI). Sometimes, you can adjust your compensation schemes to make them even more attractive to employees without harming their willingness to work for you.
