Internet recruitment .....

What do we do for our clients

We are not a recruitment agency.

We manage internet recruitment advertising for you.  We design and place recruitment advertisements on appropriate "job boards”, manage the applications (filtering according to criteria agreed with our client), and deliver the results to the client.  Service goes far beyond press advertising, where your advertising agency (or you directly) will place an advertisement but then have to handle all the response, especially the time-consuming initial screening and rejections.

Although we aim to provide a straightforward and above all cost-effective core service, we also offer a menu of additional services.  More ……

Our background (and parent company) is a well-regarded specialist HR consultancy founded in 1991.

What's the benefit

Cost saving.  We would expect effectively managed Internet recruitment to save in the order of  60-70% or more compared with placing all vacancies with recruitment agencies.  Others make more extravagant promises. 

Quality.  The internet should access active job hunters, and far more than a press advertisement.  The larger the pool, the better the chances of finding on-spec applicants.

But - Internet recruitment will not fill all posts.  It should be treated as an integral but highly cost effective part of an overall recruitment strategy; it is our responsibility to work with clients to achieve optimum benefit.

Just remember that the first step for most recruitment agencies is to place your vacancy on job boards.  If you are surprised at this, just look at a page on, for instance Monster – search on say “sales” and see who is doing the advertising!

Did you know ….

  • Internet recruitment spend is rapidly overtaking all other media.  Have a look at this link

  • There are thousands of UK job boards.  Not just the well-known names.  The niche sites are critical. Example, if you wanted to fill a supply chain role, we would probably choose to include www.supplychainrecruit.com. If you are looking for someone in journalism, www.journalism.co.uk 
    That is where our expertise comes in.

"Internet recruitment only works for techies”

  • No longer.  It is the case that Internet recruitment channels are particularly dominant for IT professionals, but this is now mature market covering all disciplines.  Particularly now that the professional hard copy media have been forced by market changes to introduce online advertising.

"Internet recruitment is only any use for junior/mid-range professionals"

  • No. In the last 12 months we have been involved in several 6 figure appointments via Internet channels.  But realistically, if you are a plc looking for a main board director, you should probably be considering one of the main headhunters.

  • Yes. Internet recruitment is not so effective, nor always cost-effective, for more junior staff.  Administrative, clerical, retail assistants, junior hospitality/catering, production and other "blue-collar" roles are not so well covered/used by Internet recruitment media.  An exception is central London/City for secretarial/PA roles.  We can advise.
