A good contracting agency will either make or break an experience for you. I've never been shy from contract work, in fact it was because of a contract that I was able to get my foot in the door with The Home Depot The short term opportunity to prove myself under time constraints?!?! what a fun challenge! But having been in that world for some +8 years now, I can safely say, if your contracting agency doesn't have your back, YOU most certainly need too. Grill your contract agency just as much as you grill your hiring manager -what is the benefits package? -who can I call with issues/questions pertaining to HR -what's the usual turn around for business travel expenses?? it's meant to be a partnership, they are benefitting from YOUR brain just as much you are benefitting from their network

I helped my client to close their biggest sale yet last week. My client is an HR consultant who has 3 clients already. She’d never done this before so she needed to get more focused on her questioning. Here’s what she asked: -How can I best support you right now? -How is this [Problem] impacting the business? -How is this [Problem] impacting you as the business owner? -What happens if this doesn’t get fixed? -What’s that cost to the business? Final questions around their boundaries and who else they were talking to: What’s a nice to have vs. a must have? Who else they were talking to and had they worked with them before? My client, connected, asked all the right questions (they were plenty more she was asked). We also role played some of the tougher questions she would be faced with. I got her to pitch to me - and I do that with a lot of my clients so they know where they might 'fall down' in real sales meeting. She is now putting together a Statement of Works to provide HR and training services to their largest client yet. With a contract through until January 25. Great job!

#mondaymoaning I was listening to a company the other day that needed drivers. "So many drivers with not enuff experience" they said that they couldn't find any... we found five in a week for them. They kept their contract - STOP doing it the same way and expecting different results...HR staff have experience in payroll & benefits. they are not taught how to recruit .. they're taught to run ads. they can't qualify or vet these resumes because they don't have the 30+ years of experience or knowledge so over to the fleet managers desk they go, resumes piling up... Call us to find out how we recruit with no ads... #jobsitegroup #hiringexperts #recruitment #staffingsolutions #trainingprograms #training #HR #jobsiteworkers

Most Hiring Managers don't naturally consider hiring an Interim Worker as an option. Typical responses when asked about using an Interim Worker are… ⏰ It'll take less time if I just do it myself 🔀 I'll just reassign the work to others in the team 🚂 I can't be bothered with having to train someone who is only going to be there for a short time 💰 It'll be expensive However, once a Hiring Manager has used an Interim Worker, they use them throughout their career. Why? Here's what they know! 💡 Taking on another person's responsibilities is not an effective use of their time or company money. 💡 They're acutely aware that team members become frustrated and pressured with the additional work and so bringing an Interim Worker into the team shows that you care about them, their workload and can also bring fresh energy and skills to the team. 💡 Interim Workers specialise in going in and out of companies and so are well-versed in getting up to speed quickly, reducing the amount of time needed to train them 💡 They know it can be cost-effective. You only pay for what you use as most Interim Workers charge an hourly or daily rate so if they aren't working for you, you aren't paying them.

Happy Monday! Are you considering dipping your toes into contracting but unsure where to start? Maybe you've mulled over the idea of exploring alternatives to the traditional permanent employment. After chatting with multiple seasoned career contractors (including my Dad), I wanted to highlight some of the main reasons individuals tend to explore independent contracting. Firstly, there's the flexibility, allowing you to take breaks between contracts and maintain a healthy work-life balance. My father was contracting when my brother and I were growing up, and this allowed him the time to coach our football teams, help us with our assignments and be able to attend prizegivings. Contracting also opens doors to diverse sectors and working cultures, enriching your skill set and broadening your professional horizons. This is great if you have worked in the same sector your whole career or are just interested in seeing what else is out there. Contracting also allows individuals to work on multiple contracts at any one time, being able to make a real impact to an organisation. As a contractor, there is the ability to dive into project-based work, focusing on specific tasks or objectives, whether it's implementing processes, policies, or contributing to a collective goal. If you are interested in having a conversation about the contracting market at the moment, or are alternatively interested in employing a contractor, please do not hesitate to reach out! #contracting #h2r #recrutiment

We recently partnered with a well-established manufacturing firm based in Leeds, helping them recruit for two critical roles through our flat-fee recruitment service. Here’s how we helped them fill their vacancies within a 4-week campaign for just £650 per vacancy: 🔷 Maintenance Engineer (£35,000) 🔷 Stores Supervisor (£28,000) 🔷 Hire Time: Both roles were filled within the 4-week campaign window, ensuring minimal disruption to their operations. 🔷 Savings: By using AD-HIRE's flat-fee recruitment model, the client saved over £8,150 (based on 15% agency fee) compared to traditional recruitment agencies, where fees are typically charged as a percentage of annual salaries. 🔷 Testimonial: "AD-HIRE delivered exactly what we needed—high-quality candidates quickly and at a fraction of the usual cost which is great during challenging economic times. It was very easy to submit our requirements and our campaign was running the same day and we knew exactly what was happening throughout the agreed campaign. We’ll definitely be using them again!" Make your recruitment simple again and cut down your recruitment budget!

🚨STOP STEALING OUR STAFF!!🚨 I'm sure most of you who work in recruitment have had companies pinch your staff on the rare occasion, however last week I had a NEW contractor do this with SEVERAL of my lads behind my back after requesting several operatives from me. Do you know what goes into working with a new contractor our end? Let me break it down.... 1. It takes MONTHS if not YEARS to build our reputations and relationships with clients within the construction industry. The time and effort that goes into contacting clients, in and outside of working hours - is something that very often gets forgotten about. If I didn't have a good name for myself and work with top construction contractors across the nation, would you have worked with me? So why take my experties for granted? 2. We have to run credit checks and fill out documentation which can take HOURS!! The amount of admin that goes into working with a new business is extremely time consuming - insurances, terms of business, inputting candidate details, RTW checks....the list goes on!! And that is just my end, yet alone the payroll and account teams jobs. 3. After spending time inputting client / candidate details on our system, we have to confirm details with candidates (emails / calls / texts) as well as liaise with site management to ensure everything runs smoothly before candidates start on site. This usually involves calls back and forth from candidates to clients regarding rates, work, any questions they have. Basically trying to make everyone happy. 4. Companies often forget that the software and companies we use COST US MONEY!! So before I even have a pair of hands on site - I am already at a loss? Long story short... If you want to use a company with a great reputation that supplies quality candidates to HELP assist YOU on site, please work with us and not against us. The bottom line is - if you don't want to pay the money, don't ask!! P.S - my loyal candidates kept me in the loop with what this contractor was doing - now he has NO lads on site whatsoever. Was it really worth it?

No organization is looking to give you a job. Very well that’s not the idea. What do I mean by this? No one is looking to just give you a job per say. That isn’t the goal Then what’s the aim? What are recruiters actually wanting from you when they put on the badge “Hiring” 📌The aim is for collaboration. Absolutely! that’s the mission for getting you onboard in a business or as an employee in an organization. Business owners, cofounders, entrepreneurs and organizations are not seeking another employee to add to their payroll. Here's what they are needing from you. ✔ They need you to understand their objectives, have a shared vision and execute their mission. ✔ They need you to take initiative and solve their problems. ✔ They need you to churn out ideas and strategies that will move their business forward. ✔ They need you to be skillful so that they are ahead of others in the competitive landscape. ✔ They need you to be part of the reason why their customers and client want to stay loyal. ✔ They need you to facilitate increase in value and in the demand for their products and services by customers. 📌When you go out there seeking for a role in an organization, stand out resourceful so that those needing your skills and services are convinced that you have all what it takes to add value to their business. And yes! while you add value and are indispensable, your compensation on the payroll surely increases to become of a great value to you. It will reflect the extent of commitment you have to the success of the organization. What other ways can professionals prove their competence while filling a role in an organization? Let me get your insightful responses in the comment section. Happy Wednesday and it feels great to have come this far into the week 🤗 #TeamCollaboration #Valueadded #StriveForExcellence #MadeForMore
