Is no cost recruitment too good to be true?

Everywhere you turn you will hear that the economy is on the up – businesses are hiring, there’s a competitive market full of candidates looking to get into jobs, and this may fill you with confidence when looking for your next member of staff.

By James Blackburn, managing director, The Vedas Group.

It can also make things harder for you if you don’t have the time, money or expertise to operate a full scale recruitment process.

Here is where having an experienced recruiter on board, guiding you through the process and short listing on your behalf will save you valuable time as well as money.

• Advice on the different ways of recruiting; do you need a skills match or an attitude match • Help with writing job specifications and adverts • Access to a massive database of candidates • Your job will be advertised on our jobs boards and local job boards • A screened shortlist of suitable candidates CVs

There isn’t one – there really is no cost.

Having delivered the National Careers Service since 2001, the Work Programme since 2011 as well as working in partnership with the Job Centres and many leading colleges and development agencies we have developed a vast network of candidates.

So far since we launched this service at the start of 2015 we have already saved businesses in East Lancashire in the region of quarter of a million pounds. So why not see if we can save you valuable time and money and find you the next employee your business is looking for?
