Developing a relationship short, medium and long term

We began working with a Tunbridge Wells based service supply company, facing high staff turnover and candidates leaving after a few weeks of starting. They had trouble finding experienced candidates within the applicable salary range and employees with the drive and ability to work well within the business without necessarily having as much experience.

At interview, candidates loved the company, but on starting found the reality of their anticipated experience very different.  Recruitment Solutions were brought in to help the client look at their interview process and on-boarding , to ensure a realistic expectation of what the first few days and weeks might look like.  Once candidates were prepared, they settled, and as they settled, tolerance by existing staff of new people joining grew, and the experience and welcome became warmer.

Having helped this company improve its retention, we have in turn reduced costs of “lost and unsuccessful hires” .  Many of the workforce have now worked at this company for over 10 years because of our successful introduction.  This company has grown, its turnover is now 10 million, it has a 60 strong workforce and uses Recruitment Solutions Tunbridge Wells exclusively for its permanent hires and temporary staffing .

The client says :

I am the Managing Director of a busy and growing service supply company, our time is short and we have found recruiting frustrating; we have a unique culture we feel, and Recruitment Solutions have been able to capture that and use it to ensure we see the right candidates we need. We appreciate its not easy, our salaries are generic to our sector and therefore whats important to us has been capturing the right attitude in candidates so that we can train the skills.

We set very high standards here and Recruitment Solutions has consistently performed to secure reliable and responsible staff for us. They have a highly positive approach, and no challenge seems to big for them.

I would highly recommend them, we are in our 14
th  year of working with them; and their commitment to the result for us has made them our go to choice for staffing.
