Recruitment for SMEs
Attract, Recruit and Retain the Best Talent for Your Business
If you are a busy owner or senior manager in an SME, successful recruitment of talent into your business may well be a concern, especially within the current candidate driven market. You know this often time-intensive activity needs real focus to make sure you are able to hire when you need to, but you also know you don’t have the time and actually shouldn’t become a full time recruiter.
For many small business owners, recruitment can be a real resource drain with advertising and response management, CV reviews, initial screening, shortlists, and interviews… the list goes on.
Plus, the longer it takes to recruit to fill your role, the longer the role has to be covered by someone else within your business, or you.
So, how can you ensure you or your managers are spotting the best talent first time, every time and selecting fairly without any preconceived bias?
ProAction HR has many years of successful recruitment experience and now offer a range of packages to take the hassle out of your recruiting.
Choose the level of admin, support and management to suit your needs from our range of fixed fee recruitment packages.
