Retained Recruitment: Real Results
How Retained Recruitment Led to a 16% Drop-Out Rate & £140k Savings for Client
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 fulfil 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, Liz Morgan, 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 Results:
Since the inception of the partnership in July 2023, Attega has delivered exceptional results for our client. With over 63 successful placements and a low 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.
Feedback that counts:
Client Group HR Manager –
“Liz 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.
