A Recruitment Masterclass - save thousands on the cost of hiring

Let’s face it, we’ve all had that dilemma of doing something ourselves or paying for an expert to come and do it for us. I’ve moved house often enough to know I’d rather pay a removal expert to pack and unpack all our valuables rather than try to do it myself to save a few pounds!

Recruitment can be a bit like that. You know you need someone and you’ve worked with a few good recruitment agencies in the past, but deep down you’re pretty sure you can do it yourself and save some money, if only you knew how.

If this sounds like you then the Cooper Vance Masterclass is your ideal solution. It is designed for companies who need to recruit staff regularly, but don’t want to pay recruiters fees every time. We will train you to recruit like a professional and save thousands on recruitment fees. You’ll learn how to maximise your budgets, reduce your costs and find the right person for less.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Cooper Vance Recruitment Masterclass offers a half-day of consultancy and training at your offices. We’ll look at how to improve your current recruitment methods, and help you create a recruitment plan for a role you’re looking to fill. You’ll then get expert training in everything from assessing your skills-gaps and marketing the role through to conducting interviews, appraising interviewees and getting your chosen candidate through the front door

WHAT’S DOES THE RECRUITMENT MASTERCLASS INCLUDE?

Skills-Gaps and Job Specifications

We’ll take you through a skills-gap evaluation of your business, identify what roles need to be filled and then help you create a concise, appropriate and marketable job description

Person Specifications

A list of what skills you need and what day-to-day duties are expected isn’t enough to ensure you get recruitment right. You’ll need to understand the right mix of personality traits, employment background and career plans, so we’ll teach you how to write an effective person specification

Advertising

We’ll assess how you publicise your current vacancies and give training on how best to maximise the return on your investment. Amongst other things this will cover internal and external advertising, jobs boards, and referrals.

Shortlisting

We’ll help you get a system in place to respond to all applicants, and then give you some training on how to effectively create a shortlist that offers you the best chance of finding a candidate that meets your job and person specifications.

Interviewing

We’ll help you put processes in place that ensure that every interviewee has an equal opportunity to impress. This will increase your chances of finding the right person for the right role every time you recruit. We’ll also conduct a mock interview with you against your job spec.

Job Offers and On-Boarding

Ever been gazumped buying a house? It’s a very similar feeling when you find out that your ideal next employee takes a counter offer and turns you down. We’ll make sure you have processes in place to secure your ideal candidate and get them through the front door.
