Retained Recruitment, Real Results: Delivering 16% Drop-Out Rate & £140K Savings

When it comes to effective talent acquisition, many companies face unique challenges in optimising their recruitment processes while minimising costs and ensuring cultural alignment. Recognising the need for a transformative solution, one of our clients, a leading Specialist Field Service Operator, partnered with us to leverage our 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, we began discussions with their Managing Director regarding the potential benefits of an exclusive recruitment partnership. Recognising the limitations of their existing approach, they embraced our 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, we ensured seamless communication and personalised service tailored to our clients exact requirements. Offering a fixed monthly fee for recruitment services, along with valuable insights into market trends, our approach prioritised efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and alignment with their company culture.

The Outcome:

Since the inception of the partnership in July 2023, we’ve delivered exceptional results for them. 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, our 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, we continue to support our clients 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, we remain committed to enhancing our partnership with our client. With a focus on staff retention, we will facilitate exit interviews and provide ongoing marketing insights to ensure they remain at the forefront of industry trends.

Additionally, we’ve 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.
