  There is an easier way to recruit and nurture new staff. Your People Partners can do it for you. As a business owner responsible for every aspect of your company, knowing how to save time and money hiring your next member of staff is rather useful! Would you love an easy, cost effective and efficient service to help you spend more time on the business and not just in it as you go about recruiting your next member of staff? Good news. You don't need to use a recruiter in the traditional sense. I am Helen Sanders. And I head up a talented team of talent acquisition specialists who are Your People Partners. You can use my 22 years (!) recruitment expertise in helping business owners like you to save time, save money, cut the risk of poor hires and remove the stress of the recruitment process. Did I mention we are not an 'agency'? If we work together, we're partners. We work together to make sure you hire well and your team can grow to meet your vision and better support your clients/customers. Done-With-You: We stand by you, jump in when you need, we guide and do the bits you cannot do, and you learn how to be really awesome at hiring. No, we're not trying to make you into a recruiter. Being a business owner who hires well can make or break your business. Done-As-You: We are your in-house team. We ensure all people in touch with your company have an awesome experience of you, the business owner as well as your company. Given our partners (companies like yours) are between 3 and 50 staff, we know that you're competing for the talent you need. All this for the same cost, or sometimes less, than a 'normal' recruitment agency. Call me now on 0117 290 0208 for a chat about how we can take the stress out of your next hire, as well as support your growing team with all things 'people' and talent-related. Show less
