Recruitment campaign management

01

HelloLike you, I know first-hand what it is like to have responsibility for recruitment for an organisation. My entire career has been in recruitment, with the majority of it client-side in talent acquisition for HR teams. During this time, I have been approached by hundreds of recruitment suppliers each claiming to be different from the rest, but struggling to articulate why. I set up this practice, offering modular recruitment campaign management, as I truly believe recruitment services can be delivered in a better way.

It can be relied upon to support you where and when you most need it. It can be transparent, ethical and quality driven. Ensuring you identify, attract and hire the right talent into your organisation. It can present your company sensitively, with professionalism and care that creates a first-class candidate experience, building your employer brand. It can be intelligent, gathering market information and candidate insight, allowing you to stop reinventing the wheel on every hire, develop your processes, make important hiring decisions and give you the essential edge over your competition.It can provide real value for money.

For critical roles, you need recruitment campaign management that is intelligent, transparent and attracts the best talent to your organisation. I look forward to showing you how Connor can do this for you.

Recruitment campaign management – what is it?Recruitment campaign management has never been more important. Your employer brand is exposed on websites like LinkedIn and Glassdoor plus a shortage of skills is still a problem in many industries. How do you find the right talent and attract them to join you and not stay with or move to your competitors?All roles are not equal – some are fundamental to your success and need more than your usual approach. Connor provides recruitment campaign management built around these critical hires.

Our service has four modules – so you can choose to use one, some or all of them. Our pricing is flexible – you only pay for what you need. We listen to and capture your requirements, identify and evaluate suitable candidates so you make the right hiring decisions.

What’s more, you have access to all the important, valuable information throughout the campaign via the online Connor recruitment portal. You can also use this data as part of your wider, ongoing recruitment efforts.

When we can help you When you have a difficult to fill or high profile vacancy which needs more than your usual approach

When your own resource is limited and you need a flexible solution which will mirror your existing processes without the expense of a temporary contractor

When you may need a boost in just one particular area of the recruitment cycle, for example sourcing or interviewing which will work in harmony with your current activities

If you don’t have the expertise inhouse currently and want a best practice service you can model for future use

When you want a different experience to what is being offered by traditional recruitment agencies.

How does it work?Each of the modules below can be used independently or end to end for full recruitment campaign management. Total costs will never exceed the agreed percentage of basic salary, even if you end up hiring more than one person. We have a flexible approach to recruitment fees and we will work with you to agree what suits you.

Module one – definingAgreeing your recruitment needsAll good partnerships start with a conversation. We listen to what you want – the essence of the role including the key functional requirements, the attitude and behaviour needs, the organisational challenges and the career opportunity. We confirm the current situation and the required changes.

We agree the recruitment campaign timelines and measures of success, help you to build your employee value proposition and give you a one page position overview.

Why should you do this? Most recruitment failures are down to a poorly defined or misunderstood brief, this process will encapsulate and communicate all your needs clearly

In many cases the employee value proposition is not consistent and candidates are often miss-sold

The one page position overview is free for you to use whether you work with us or not.

Module two – research & targeting Identifying candidatesWe research your market, mapping competitor and target organisations. We identify the people in roles who fit the criteria of the position overview and give you access to all the data.

Our experts create advertisements and post them on over 200 relevant job boards, including specialist industry websites as well as Indeed and on social media, so they are found by the candidates you need.

We collate all responses, recording where each candidate was sourced from.

Why should you do this? This data can be used to recruit time and time again for your organisation

It will help you identify companies that hire the type of people you are looking for in your area. This will help you not only identify competitors, but also related industries which could open up new talent streams and pivot points for future focus.

Module three – approaching & assessingEvaluating candidates We approach all relevant headhunt targets and manage every application, giving a professional candidate experience.

We design a pre-screen assessment from scratch or in conjunction with your own internal process. The assessment will align with the requirements identified in your position overview. We assess all candidates including any direct or referred candidates so you have a consistent approach.

We design a market research brief with you to capture insight from your candidates

We provide our findings – positive and negative – and make evaluations on each application which you have access to via the portal.

Finally, we present you with our assessed shortlist.

Our experienced interviewers, facilitate scoring and add value to the decision-making process. They can also provide psychometric testing and interpretation to aid on-boarding.
