The recruitment industry is being urged to promote the value recruiters collectively bring to the recruitment process. The call comes from Jim Albert, Managing Director of Modis International, following research by Modis that showed 72% of companies did not believe recruiters currently delivered value for money. The research also showed that 1 in 3 companies want to develop deeper relationships with their recruitment consultancies and focus more on developing true business partnerships, rather than employing low cost transactional recruitment models. "This research is a definite wake up call for our industry to prove its worth," Albert said. "Over the past 18 months the recruitment industry has become a margin conversation as employers looked to drive down costs. But as we recover from recession, employers are once again demanding that recruiters deliver a true value-added service. As an industry, we need to shift our focus from a cost-based cycle to a value based approach going forward. We are at a point where we have a terrific opportunity to reframe the conversation with our clients." Juice Recruitment have continued praise from their clients in all of the Cities they work and believe understanding the clients needs and requirements is key to offering a prestige service. We are committed to both our candidates and clients, ensuring all are involved and dedicated to making the whole process of recruitment as straight forward as possible. Testimonials have included "Thank you for the excellent service you have provided in finding us what is hopefully going to be a fabulous new Customer Services Manager. You have made recruiting easy and taken all the hard work out of it for us. Going through the process with you we have been able to improve on our interviews techniques, define what type of candidates we are looking for and have some fun along the way! You have been fantastic to work with, a very professional service. Thank you once again” "We have used Juice Recruitment for many years & literally would not use anyone else! More recently we started a new company & getting the right people in is paramount to its success. Juice delivered an extremely high grade of candidate for a number of positions including Graphic Designers, Software Developers & Administration staff. Combining the candidate put forward & the level of follow-up service from the team at Juice, they are second to none" As the economy continues its path to fragile recovery, the role of recruiters will become increasingly important as organisations look to attract the highest calibre people to help their business grow and develop. High touch recruitment consultancies will once again help drive that activity and become the standard bearer for the recruitment conversation. Albert said: "By focusing on the core concerns of our clients around quality, the effective use of time, and growth, we will be able to open the door to deeper conversations around the value of recruitment. Those conversations will inevitably translate into more productive and effective relationships, and ultimately a greater reputation for our industry." Part Source: Recruitment Today
