Sometimes its not training you need or even if it is you don't know which area of the recruitment process to tackle first. More likely you need 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 with. That's where a visit to discuss and evaluate your business and then agree an ongoing strategy of help if appropriate is invaluable. A free initial discussion over the phone (perhaps with some background via email) is an ideal place to start. You might just need that call to confirm what you already know. Additionally if something more formal like ISO or Investors in People accreditation or another more diverse service such as a new website or management software is wanted then we probably have contacts throughout the industry to help you. Any ongoing help & guidance will be fully discussed with measurable objectives set prior to any programme being undertaken.

Do consider a "Health Check" visit

From time to time (and we would recommend very 6 months ) to have an objective outside viewpoint on your business makes good sense. As every recruitment company is different, facing different issues 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 our angles". 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
Market/s - revenues from each area /desk - margins/profits
Processes - documentation, checklists, systems
KPI's - Key Performance Indicators -measurement of consultants performance
Advertising & Marketing - business development plans
People - breakdown from director/principals
People - speak to individuals re their thoughts, plans & hopes
Feedback - verbal at end of the day - written at later date
