How to manage your recruitment partnership?

How proactive is your recruitment partner in helping prepare your workforce for the future?

Do they help solve staff challenges beyond your immediate recruitment needs?

Your recruitment partnership needs to deliver a return on investment. Follow these steps to work best with your partner.

Step 1

Set objectives and measure their success. Use volume fill, retention, attrition and conversion rates to track performance and gather data on time and cost savings.

Step 2

Manage compliance and reputation risks together. Set out who is responsible for each part of the recruitment process and agree procedures.

Step 3

Look to the future. Set social responsibility targets for your recruitment processes and plan ahead for when your talent strategy may need to change.

Step 4

Speak to your provider. Work together to overcome issues and improve the recruitment process for you, your provider and your candidates.

Your recruitment provider should propose ways to measure and report on their performance to help you track the value of your partnership in meeting its objectives. In this guide, we show how you can keep your commercial goals at the front and centre of any partnership to help you maximise success.
