Employment Support

       
Support during the Recruitment Process ... Support throughout Employment ...  

Whether you choose to use our local jobs service or not when looking for staff, you may like to take advantage of other support that makes the recruitment process easier for you and success more likely.

We can do it for you or train your staff in any or all of the following ways:

  • Writing a job description for inclusion in your contracts of employment

  • Designing and writing adverts for web and paper publicity

  • CV and phone vetting to agreed criteria to filter candidates

  • Creating Interview checklists to help you probe beneath the surface when talking to candidates and to ensure interviews are consistent and fair

You can also ask us to sit in on interviews, make notes and give an objective view afterwards, or  use our meeting room if you need confidentiality or prefer a neutral venue for interviews.

None of this needs to cost a fortune and you can select as much or as little assistance as you need. We can also put in place for you procedures that you can use every time you recruit someone.

None of this is dependent on your using our recruitment service but much of it can be included at no extra charge if you do! Ask about the issues that concern you

Most business owners would agree that a successful business is down to having the right people operating it and driving it forward. Recruiting those people is only the start. 

Most small businesses do their HR instinctively through good management and via annual appraisals and most have contracts of employment and induction procedures for new staff. These may be adequate when things are going well. Unfortunately in these more litigious times, it is necessary for even the smallest business to have procedures in place that will also protect them when things go wrong. Fortunately, it doesn’t take much to make sure they are. It is also reassuring and motivating for staff to always know where they stand from the outset and throughout employment. Our support services cover:

  • Reviewing terms and standard documents for job offers and contracts of employment

  • Documenting induction procedures and advising on implementation

  • Setting up, or reviewing staff handbooks that clarify expectations and procedures

  • Instituting or formalising appraisal procedures and performance monitoring

We are not lawyers and it doesn’t cost a fortune to get it right. Often simple adaptations to what you do already will help you keep the loyalty and trust of your most valuable employees and minimize the cost and damage to your business if things go wrong.  Ask your questions here.
