Our Solutions
Solving your Talent Acquisition Challenges
Plan Talent

Talent planning is an essential component of strategic planning – without the right people in place, your future plans will likely be delayed or fail entirely. But all too often, businesses take a reactive approach to talent. They simply back-fill roles when people leave, default to outside talent when new roles emerge, and fail to invest in internal ‘stars’ with the potential to play a key role in the businesses future growth.
Our approach to strategic talent planning delivers the insights you need to avoid mistakes. We’ll help to identify your future ‘stars’, enabling you to put plans in place to develop and retain them, whilst also defining the roles you’ll need to hire in the short and medium term to deliver against your strategic plans.
What we offer
- Lead an assessment – working with your managers, of your existing talent skills and capabilities
- Review your strategic plans and identify talent requirements to deliver against them
- Identify immediate and longer-term talent gaps
- Support talent development planning to upskill high potential ‘stars’
- Create role descriptions for newly created roles
- Create a hiring plan including hiring sequence – taking account of extended hiring cycles for roles requiring scarce talent
- Talent ‘pipelining’ to identify internal and external talent required to deliver against your strategic plans

Attract Talent

However great your role is, it’s just one of many options unless you can communicate why your company, and that role, could be the right move for your ideal candidate. It’s different in the early stages of growth – many founders / CEO’s make a point of meeting all candidates before offering – who better to ‘sell’ the opportunity to candidates! But as you grow, it’s essential to communicate clearly and consistently beyond the reach of your own network.
We’ll work with you and your team to create a compelling and distinctive ‘value proposition’ that engages the candidates you need to reach. We’ll create messaging which will help your opportunities to stand out – whether in job adverts or proactive approaches to ‘passive’ candidates. And we’ll build – or update – a careers site to highlight the reasons to join and show a live view of your current opportunities.
What we offer
- Employer value proposition (EVP) development
- Employee benefits benchmarking and development
- Careers site creation, including live jobs functionality
- Develop a strategy across additional social channels

Kia Motors UK needed to enhance the existing skill set within their dealer network in order to achieve their ambition to move from selling 1 in 10 Eco Cars, electric, hybrid plug in cars to 3 in 10.
Hire Talent

We all know the disruption and cost that comes from a ‘failed hire’ yet many businesses leave their hiring process to chance. Each hiring manager is left to ‘go it alone’, in their own way, without support, and with predictably mixed results. Getting hiring right is not rocket-science, but it does require planning and preparation.
We’ll work with you to improve – or create – your hiring processes. We start by looking at how you create new roles, capturing the ‘must have’ capabilities, and then crafting interview questions and assessments to evaluate candidates strengths in these areas. We believe that collaboration and consistency are key pillars of success, so we’ll implement a hiring platform which makes this easy. And we’ll provide operational support for as long as you need it, leaving you with your own platform and processes in place when you’re ready to go it alone.
What we offer
- Hiring process design and creation
- Training for hiring managers
- Support with role creation including job descriptions
- Implementation and management of your own applicant tracking system (including a live jobs page for your careers site)
- Operational support on a project or ongoing basis
- Hiring your talent for you

Embed Talent

You’ll recognise the excitement and motivation of your candidates as they accept your offer but often that energy is lost in the weeks before, and immediately after your new starter come aboard. It’s easily done – after investing time in the hiring process it’s natural for managers to refocus on other priorities. Most candidates have work to complete during their notice period, and growing businesses rarely have a formal ‘onboarding’ process.
We’ll share our experience and best practice to ensure a great experience from offer through onboarding. This reduces the risk of your candidate pulling out – whether they accept another offer or a counter-offer from their current company – and also ensures that they’re fired up and ready to deliver from day 1.
What we offer
- Pre-boarding process creation, including bespoke steps to build the relationship between the new hire and their new colleagues
- Onboarding process creation, using our experience to shape a programme of activities which will equip your new hire to make an impact from the start
