Unified Recruitment: Reduced Fees & Improved Candidate Quality Across a Multi-Company Group

When it comes to effective and efficient talent acquisition, finding the right partner can make all the difference. A prominent client of ours, a leading Integrated M&E Solutions Provider, faced challenges with their hiring strategy. This is how Attega’s Retained Recruitment Solutions revolutionised their hiring process, leading to significant improvements in efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and cultural fit.

The Challenge: A Fragmented Approach

When the newly appointed Group Chief Operating Officer joined our client’s team, he faced a significant challenge. Each company within the group had its own recruitment process, resulting in:

• Inefficiencies and lack of cohesion
• High fees from multiple agencies
• Inconsistent candidate quality

“We needed a robust, unified solution for our recruitment,” the Group COO recalled. “I knew we needed a partner who could drive and support our recruitment strategy moving forward.“

– Group COO

Having worked with Attega before, the COO’s decision to engage Attega again was an easy one for several reasons:

1. Deep Understanding: Attega took the time to thoroughly understand the needs of each business within our clients’ Group
2. On-site Engagement: The Attega team visited offices and met with team members to understand the unique challenges and company cultures
3. Holistic Approach: This comprehensive strategy enabled Attega to find candidates who were not only qualified but also a perfect cultural fit for each role

The Attega Solution

Attega’s Retained recruitment solutions offered three primary advantages:

1. Cost-effectiveness: We’ve saved our client £50,000 to date, with efficiency increasing by up to 80%
2. Time-to-hire: 1 – 2 weeks from initial job allocation to acceptance of the offer. Our quickest placements have been turned around in 72 hours
3. Access to larger talent pools: 14 new candidates sourced

A Partnership Built on Trust

The Group COO couldn’t be more pleased with the results:

“I have always found the team at Attega very easy to work with. They share our values and embrace a true one-team approach. We see them as an extension of our internal team, which is the foundation of any successful long-term relationship. Their commitment to our success makes them an invaluable partner.“

Future Enhancements

To continually improve our services for our client, Attega is exploring additional initiatives, which include the development of a dedicated careers page, and attracting industry-specific talent directly. We’ve also mapped potential competitors and companies with transferrable skills, working on-site to gain more information on the company culture, and developing campaigns and LinkedIn groups for specific candidate skillsets.

Furthermore, we have allocated extra resources to support our consultants’ efforts without any additional expense to our client, ensuring a seamless and effective recruitment process moving forward.
