Pick & Mix Recruitment

Pick and Mix Recruitment

We understand that using an external recruitment consultancy can be a big investment in terms of both time and money.  In order to provide SME’s with a flexible service that can be adjusted to perfectly suits their requirements, we have created Pick & Mix Recruitment!


Designed specifically for SME’s, you can select only the recruitment services you are looking for support with, and get a fixed price for what you have chosen.  You pay for each stage once it’s completed, so there is no massive bill and you know exactly what you’re getting and what it’s going to cost at the very start of the process.


If you change your mind and want to add or remove a service that hasn’t been started, during the recruitment process, you can… that’s the beauty of Pick & Mix!

Benefits

The idea is that, if you just need help writing a job specification, identifying markets to target and support with an approach, we can help you with just that, and you pay for just that! If you just want CV’s that have been reviewed against your spec, you can! If you want to add a service on as we go through the process, or take one away, you can! Pick & Mix recruitment is designed to be a flexible solution tailored to each client and to each job.

 

  • Choose which service/s you want
  • You know exactly what you’re paying, no matter what the salary of the role
  • No payments required until the service is completed (when Finstech are the exclusive external recruitment partner)
  • Discount of over £1,000 when all services selected

He also identified alternative candidate types which I hadn’t previously considered and this proved instrumental in making an offer for the role. Professional and highly recommended!
