Collette's Story
'We don't use recruitment agencies, the cost is prohibitive and the service deplorable, but we don't seem to be attracting the right staff, what are our recruitment options?' ...
Watts Next are NOT a recruitment agency. We are an external human resource provider and we act as 'YOUR HR MANAGER' as if we are in the office next door.
As YOUR HR manager we have modelled our recruitment offer on the service an internal HR manager would provide a business. We are experts in attracting the right person to a business and put 100% focus on the process, not just filling the role. First and foremost we believe, if the correct process is followed the results speak for themselves. When businesses without a recruitment expert attempt their own recruitment, they often make mistakes and miss subtle signs from their applicants resumes and interviews. Watts Next are experts in taking the brief, writing the advertisement, targeting a certain fit and ensuring the cream is skimmed off the top of the available applicant pile, we remove the emotion and advise on the best recruitment strategy for your business.
Using an external HR company like Watts Next, means you get experts handling and advising on your recruitment and you can customise the process, even do some of it yourself! We will ensure you attract the best and most qualified applicants, by following a thorough and consultative process. Watts Next do not charge a % of the applicants salary, we do not believe this provides value for money, we charge for the time it takes to cover off the key elements of the process as agreed up front. Our research shows the average cost to recruit someone through the Watts Next process is far less than the percentage of salary, traditional recruitment agency system, but the biggest advantage is the quality of the work, you will think we are an internal HR manager in the office next door (we even prepare the induction pack and manage the probation period)!
