Retained Recruitment, Real Results: Delivering 16% Drop-Out Rate & £140k Savings
by Shiley Mcpherson
When it comes to effective talent acquisition, companies face unique challenges in optimising their
recruitment processes while minimising costs and ensuring cultural alignment. Recognising the need
for a transformative solution, our client partnered with Attega to leverage their Retained Recruitment
approach.
The Challenge:
Our client faced significant challenges in their recruitment processes, relying on internal resources
and external agencies to fulfill their hiring needs. Fluctuating monthly recruitment costs, coupled with
the risk of mismatched candidates due to agencies ‘lack of understanding of the company culture’,
led to increased expenses and potential disruptions in operations. The absence of a cohesive
recruitment strategy further heightened these challenges, needing a transformative solution to
enhance their hiring processes.
The Solution:
Building on a prior contingent engagement, Attega began discussions with our client’s Managing
Director regarding the potential benefits of an exclusive recruitment partnership. Recognising the
limitations of their existing approach, they embraced Attega’s Retained Recruitment package, which
promised not only significant cost savings but also enhanced efficiency and a deeper understanding
of their recruitment needs.
By assigning a dedicated account manager, Connie Manchip, as the primary point of contact, Attega
ensured seamless communication and personalised service tailored to their requirements. Offering a
fixed monthly fee for recruitment services, along with valuable insights into market trends, Attega’s
approach prioritised efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and alignment with their company culture.
The Outcome:
Since the inception of the partnership in July 2023, Attega has delivered exceptional results for our
client. With over 63 successful placements and a dropout rate of just 16%, Attega’s streamlined
approach has significantly reduced recruitment costs by 50%, resulting in savings exceeding £140k!
Moreover, Attega’s integration into their recruitment processes, including the operation of their
careers page and the implementation of user-friendly online application forms, has enhanced
efficiency and candidate experience.
By providing market insights and leveraging streamlined processes such as conducting exit
interviews, Attega continues to support their growth trajectory and competitiveness in the industry.
“Connie has been our main contact and with her at the helm, good candidates

came thick and fast. The team screened all applicants which meant our time was
better used in the business and we were only interviewing genuine candidates
with the right skill sets and attitudes. Results have been amazing across the
business.”
Future Enhancements:
Looking ahead, Attega remains committed to enhancing its partnership with our client. With a focus
on staff retention, Attega will facilitate exit interviews and provide ongoing marketing insights to
ensure the client remains at the forefront of industry trends.
Additionally, Attega has allocated resources to accommodate spikes in recruitment demand, further
optimising the hiring process. By implementing stringent procedures, such as completing application
forms at the interview stage and conducting necessary checks promptly, Attega aims to speed up
the hiring process and ensure the seamless integration of new hires into their workforce
