Myth Busters -Let's Straighten Some Things Out.

---

  The right people for your business are out there – but they’re working for your competitors or other businesses. The problem isn’t the market; the problem is that you’re not grabbing their attention. We’ll teach you how to do this.  

 If that actually is true...., you need even better bait – to attract candidates from elsewhere. Is a generic job advert, or using multiple low-rate agencies, really going to achieve this? Relocation is extremely common; we’ll help you sell both the region and your business’s unique qualities and perks. 

 Translation: your adverts aren’t working. If your adverts list duties and requirements alongside some company blurb, they’re not adverts; they’re job descriptions. And if you’re not advertising in the right places, you’re also wasting money. Job adverts, typically, work about a third of the time; our adverts have a success rate in excess of 80%. Why? Ask us... 

 More likely, it’s a good deal for them – but not you. With more than 35,000 UK recruitment agencies out there, someone will always do it cheaper. Low-rate agencies recruit by volume, targeting low-margin quick wins. If a hire leaves your business after only a few months, they don’t care; they’ll do it all over again and gladly cash the cheque. A low rate means low quality. Our advertising model has proved this: it’s delivered better results and for far less money. 

 Here’s the truth: 85% of jobs that will exist in 2030 don’t exist yet. Don’t get lured into the common recruitment agency promises of ‘sector specialists’ and ‘tailored candidate databases’. You are unique. Your roles are unique. Your culture is unique. You need somebody (cough, cough) who’ll work with you to find out what you actually really want, before offering it. 

 Too right. So once you understand how to tap into the candidate pool, you’ll save yourself a fortune. We’ll teach you how to do this. Our job advertising success is 80% compared with an average of about 30%. When we do recruit, it’s a quality headhunting service for key roles and business-critical vacancies.

Let’s do the math based on 10 roles...

This is what you’ve been doing: You place 10 adverts (£10,000) and achieve three hires; the remaining seven positions are filled via recruitment agencies (£35,000 based on an average £5,000 fee). Total cost: £45,000.

This is what you could be doing: You place 10 adverts (£10,000) and achieve eight hires; the remaining two hires are filled via Recart (£10,000 based on an average £5,000 fee). Total cost: £18,000.

Even if you only get seven hires from the advert, and three from Recart recruiting, the cost is still only £22,000 – a 100% cost saving.
