Streamlining Recruitment Processes: A Journey to 2-Week Hires & £160k Savings:

Efficient talent acquisition is crucial for businesses aiming to thrive. Yet, traditional recruitment
approaches often lead to divided and inconsistent processes, and more importantly, increased
costs. A client of ours, a key player in Smoke & Climate Control, faced these challenges head-on, looking for a solution to streamline their hiring processes and reduce expenses.

The Challenge:

Our client faced significant challenges in their hiring processes. Previously, they engaged with
multiple agencies and hiring managers, each with different fee structures. This segregated
approach led to inefficiencies, excessive time spent on candidate selection, and a lack of an
organised recruitment strategy. The collective cost of recruitment amounted to approximately
£300K annually, creating a strain on their resources and impacting their ability to secure top
talent efficiently.

The Solution:

Recognising their need for a more effective and comprehensive recruitment solution, Attega
proposed a Retained Model. We assigned a dedicated account manager, Liz Morgan, who
operated from their offices twice a week. Under this model, our client benefited from a fixed
monthly fee, resulting in over 50% savings compared to their previous recruitment expenses.
Liz’s on-site presence enabled her to immerse herself in their company culture, fostering strong
relationships with hiring managers and gaining a deep understanding of their hiring needs.
Additionally, Attega took on the responsibility of conducting all first-stage interviews, relieving
hiring managers of this time-consuming task and allowing them to focus on their core
responsibilities.

The Outcome:

The implementation of Attega’s Retained Recruitment Model produced remarkable results for
them. Not only did we achieve over 50% savings in recruitment fees, but we also significantly
reduced staff turnover by aligning candidate selections with our client’s unique culture and
requirements. Through our dedicated account management and streamlined processes, we
successfully sourced 45 qualified candidates within an average hire time of two weeks! By
handling initial interviews and supporting HR in the onboarding process, we further saved time
for their hiring managers, enabling them to allocate their resources more efficiently.

“Having worked with Liz, she is always transparent and professional. She is a pleasure to
have integrating with our Company.”

Future Enhancements:

To continually improve our services for our client, Attega is exploring additional initiatives, which
include the development of a dedicated careers page, attracting industry-specific talent
directly. Furthermore, we have allocated extra resources to support Liz’s efforts without any
additional expense for our client, ensuring a seamless and effective recruitment process
moving forward.
