Managed Agency

Organisations are now recognising that the supply of staff from multiple agencies is taking their key personnel away from “the shop floor” and in turn does not offer quality bespoke service, cost and time effectiveness or best practice recruitment. In order to form a solution organisations are now looking at centralising their sourcing requirements in allowing a sole supplier to manage their complete recruitment processes. 

As a managed agency Commercial Consultants UK Ltd can offer excellent relationship management and streamline your recruitment process. We can work as a sole supplier or manage existing agencies, which in turn will create some of the following advantages to your organization: 

•    Reduction in administration and procurement 

•    Key personnel able to concentrate on duties 

•    Workforce management, i.e. weekly reports

•    Efficient invoice management system

•    Constant compliance with legal legislation

•    Bespoke strategy plan

Contract recruitment

Often due to sickness or the peaks and troughs of workloads, companies will turn to temporary or contract staff. This is ideal for a flexible short-term solution towards the maintenance of productivity and avoids the contractual obligations of permanent employment. Employers will regularly offer contractors permanent employment after an initial period. Thus contract employment offers a means of screening potential permanent employees before making a long-term commitment, as well as providing temporary workforce for busy periods.

Contractors are usually required on an immediate basis particularly if a company experiences a sudden surge in orders or business. However the strict vetting procedure cannot be overlooked even in an emergency. Apart from the usual vetting procedures Commercial Consultants UK Ltd can also supply some of the following requirements at short notice: -

•  Colour blindness tests 

•  Schematic testing  

•  Security checks

•  Appropriate safety tickets

•  Proof of accreditations

•  Proof of legal documentation

•  Safety clothing 

Permanent Recruitment

Permanent employees usually result in forming strong foundations for the future goals of a company. Companies understand that securing and promoting higher levels of job satisfaction results in enhanced performance. This is more achievable when employees are offered a permanent contract.

Permanent employees’ motivations and aspirations differ from temporary or contract staff so vetting of such candidates usually requires far more time investment from initial contact, to interview stage, to the commencement of employment.

Commercial Consultants UK Ltd can offer the usual vetting procedures including face-to-face interviewing, along with additional techniques such as: 

•  Psychometric testing  

•  Drugs & Alcohol testing  

•  Medical 

•  Psychological testing 

•  Trade testing

Retainer Recruitment

Companies usually opt to use a retainer service when they have a recruitment requirement for key personnel within their establishment. The main advantages to the client are the provision of a bespoke recruitment process, constant update on both progress and the market place and a planned schedule of events. Communication of information will usually be through one professional representative of Commercial Consultants UK Ltd.

The retainer fee is split into three payments, whereby on the acceptance of Terms and Conditions by the client, one third of the fee will be paid immediately; one third will be paid on the arrangement of interviews and the balance of payment on the placement of a successful candidate.
