The Benefit of using Recruit12
Mark Burnett: Director of Technology, CMS Global Technologies LTD
When I start the recruitment process I always take a deep breath as I start to think of all the problems associated with recruiting new members of staff. How do I advertise? What salary level do I offer to attract the correct type of candidate? How much time do I have to invest in looking at CV's? If I'm going to use an agency
which one do I go with? Do I go with multiple agencies? How much will they cost and when do I have to pay the bill?
With all these questions in my mind I want to look for a partner to take away many of the problems and share some of the others. Traditional agencies tend to push many of the problems back onto the company they work for and in the end become large personal CV search engines who send lots of CV's without pre interviewing or pre-qualifying the candidates. After doing all the interviewing yourself if you take the risk of employing a candidate your expected to pay the fees within no more than 30 days depending upon which one you go with. If you then have to either let a candidate go or the candidate leaves of their own accord you then have to negotiate a rebate. This doesn't sound like the partnership agencies go on about!
With Recruit12 this all changes, Recruit12 truly does mean Partnership. The principle is very simple. Give a description of the company, role being offered, and the salary range that should be offered taking into account the advice from Recruit12 and what type of candidate you are looking for. Then instead of receiving 10 to 20 CV's of non qualified people you actually receive 1 to 3 CV's of people who have already been telephone interviewed. Therefore when you come to interview the candidate you think is the best you already know that they have already been interviewed and understand the role they are applying for. This leads to a better quality of interview with the candidate. This saves many hours of time.
Why does Recruit12 go through this rigorous selection? Well that is simple; Recruit12 shares the financial risk by spreading the cost of the recruitment fees over twelve equal monthly payments. The best part from the recruiter's point of view is if a candidate leaves before the end of the twelve months for whatever reason then the payments stop. No questions asked.
Recruit12 is a breath of fresh air in the recruitment process. CMS Global Technologies will not deal with any other recruitment agency as a direct result of the benefits of the Recruit12 scheme.
