Recruitment Services

 

Understanding your needs

We understand the challenges that each individual NHS organisation faces on a daily basis when it comes to recruitment. Each Trust has its own unique challenges and that is why we are proud to offer a consultancy service that is designed entirely for you.

Our knowledge, expertise and strategic partnerships will improve your recruitment campaigns, reduce your time to hire, your reliance on agency staff and your organisation's overall recruitment spend. Whilst supporting you, we help in securing the right employees to improve front-line patient care.

Our tailored dashboards and bespoke reports provide a comprehensive 'drill down' analysis of all aspects of your recruitment from equality data and geographical locations, individual vacancies and recruitment campaigns, KPI's and the length of the recruitment process, allowing you to review and identify where changes need to be made and what they entail.

 

The Challenges

The NHS faces a large-scale challenge of providing sufficient resources to meet increasing demand, whilst also reducing costs. The 5-Year Forward View (5YFV) shows that by 2020 the NHS will be significantly larger and therefore caring for many more patients than today. Additionally, requirements will be more complex and even more specific to certain organisations.

Therefore, the NHS will need to grow accordingly and the 5YFV report again highlights the need for Trusts to plan and recruit a larger workforce, without increasing administration costs. This means that Trusts must become much more efficient and effective in managing the demands of recruitment.
