Recruitment & Retention

We might be biased, but we are passionate about outsourced HR.

People are the key to the success of any business, so it’s important to attract and retain the very best talent. It can be hard to know how to recruit the right people, which is where the HR Gurus at Streetwise HR can help.

In an increasingly competitive and changing marketplace, it can be a daunting prospect for anyone, which is why we can work with you to streamline your recruitment process and find the best fit for your team. Where we really shine is ensuring your brand is clearly advertised to prospective candidates, this means that the right sort of people will apply.

We can work with you to review your current recruitment and selection process and identify areas that could be improved. One area we focus on is to develop a process that embeds your businesses core values and culture and ensures that selection is based on attitudes and behaviours as well as an ability to carry out the role. 

We can be as hands-on or as hands-off as you need us to be, whether it be leading the process completely or just driving the initial part of the process and then involving you at the point we have worthwhile candidates for you to see, freeing you up to concentrate on other things.

For straight-talking advice and help with finding and recruiting the right people for your business, please get in touch with the friendly Streetwise HR team today on 01202 143555.

Comprehensive recruitment package

We provide a completely bespoke fixed fee recruitment package.

We will work with you to really drill down into exactly what the role should entail in order to fulfil the needs of your business. Once we have a clear understanding of the ins and outs of the position, we can write a job description that ticks all your boxes while showing applicants that your business is a fantastic place to work.

An important part of attracting the right candidates is advertising the role (and your business) in the most effective way possible. This means showing prospective employees what’s great about working at your company. As well as the basics like salary and holiday entitlement, a good job listing will go into detail about any perks or benefits. This could include flexible working, training opportunities, subsidised gym membership, upcoming interesting projects, and any other rewards that could tip the scale in your favour.

A clear, descriptive person specification is very important too. We will work with you to identify exactly what you’re looking for in a person, to create a description that speaks to candidates you want to attract.

We will then be by your side throughout the rest of the recruitment process, sifting through CVs to shortlist the most suitable candidates, helping to conduct telephone interviews, and even writing your offer letters. This truly is a complete package designed to help you find and successfully recruit talent that will help your business continue to go from strength to strength.

Retention: creating a great workplace culture

You can have a killer business strategy and be the leaders of tomorrow, but what’s the point if your staff are not engaged?

A positive culture is central to staff engagement and will therefore impact on efficiency and success. We can help your culture evolve, to align, ignite and engage employees and help them to thrive. And if they thrive, that means your business does too!

We can do this by working on the following:

  • Enhancing or creating your internal employer brand

  • Defining core values, behaviours and attitudes

  • Determining the right fit

  • Embedding a positive culture

  • Creating staff-engaging initiatives

  • Defining a key people strategy

For help creating a positive workplace culture that encourages staff to be the best they can be, get in touch with the friendly Streetwise HR team today on 01202 143555.
