The only certainty is that, at this moment, the economic climate remains uncertain with further surprises, twists and turns likely along the way. Working with an organisation that can provide management consultancy services may well be a very good return on investment for you
If you are not constantly reviewing your situation proactively to take appropriate steps to maximise your situation in these ever tougher times, you need to do so. Budgets, tactics, markets, advertising, people and process all need regular scrutiny. That's not always easy to do, particularly as your thoughts and points of reference are coming from being inside your business and it can be a real challenge to be as objective as you know that you should be.
An outside objective viewpoint to help you steer your ship back on course or to confirm you have chosen the right map to start your voyage can really help. That's where a visit to discuss and evaluate your business and then agree an ongoing strategy of help, if appropriate, could be invaluable. A free initial telephone discussion from our management consultancy team of Ken & Warren Kemp is an ideal place to start.
We ask you to consider a full day "Health Check" visit from Recruitment Matters.
As every recruitment company faces different issues and challenges, no two health checks are the same. By discussing prior to a visit your main areas of concern/interest, the agenda can be adapted to ensure optimum concentration on these areas, while ensuring we still cover all angles and develop creative, constructive, positive recommendations to address all key issues. Documentation and confidential information will need to be shared and discussed in order for you to fully benefit from the day. We will, of course, happily sign any confidentiality agreement you choose to provide. As you will realise from the basic outline below, there is a lot to get through, so a prompt start and a flexible finish time is required.
Subject matter to be covered on the day would likely comprise:
Your vision - forward planning - targets/hopes - short, medium and long-term.
Update - where you are in comparison with that vision.
Current market situation – how well you are coping
SWOT analysis - strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats.
Market/s - revenues from each area/desk - margins/profits.
Processes - documentation, checklists, systems.
KPI's - Key Performance Indicators - measurement of consultants’ performances.
Advertising & Marketing - business development plans.
People - discussion and analysis with directors/principals.
People - speak to other key individuals re their thoughts, plans & hopes.
Feedback - verbal at end of the day, then followed up with a written report.
Investment: A one day health check within the UK is a fixed day rate of £1800 + VAT. (Please note this investment cost is for our Health Check option only and is not a reflection of other services and related fees offered by Recruitment Matters International which will be quoted separately).
Whatever your objectives are, why not give us a call for an informal preliminary discussion about your potential requirements? We would be delighted to hear from you. Ask for Ken on 0800 0749289 or 0044 1529 410586 from overseas. Alternatively, email ken@recruitmentmatters.com.
If a change of supplier is needed then we have some of the very best recruitment product and service providers to hand. We've teamed up with some of the leading providers such as Eboss for recruitment software & web design and Exacta Research for search assignment assistance.
You might just need that call to confirm what you already know and even if that is the case, implementation isn't always straightforward. It's more likely that change will have to happen and that's where we can help. When it is required, any ongoing help and guidance will be fully discussed with measurable objectives set prior to any programme being undertaken. Any costs will be agreed and be crystal clear.
Do get in touch. Whether we end up helping you on a formal basis, or simply have 30 minutes over the phone (free of charge) or skype to discuss your situation, you have to take action. The market is changing all the time and you need to be at least considering what changes you may have to make to your business to optimise your opportunities.
In the first instance contact Ken on +44 (0)1529 410586 or email ken@recruitmentmatters.com.
