Q. What does it cost?
A.
Resource Management is all about creating visibility and control over your
recruitment costs.
During the consultation process, we fully identify your current total
recruitment costs. Parc then utilises its buying power to negotiate the most
competitive fees with recruitment and advertising agencies, and through process
improvement, deliver huge efficiency savings. Generally our fees are quite
modest in the context of the savings produced.
While the level of saving varies according to a client's circumstances, one of
our recent projects has delivered over 10% in year one, Parc can, in most
situations, deliver a Resource Management solution to you, at little or no net
cost.
Q. Who will I deal with in the delivery of the
services?
A.
Parc believes that the relationship we develop with you is fundamental to the
success of a Resource Management programme. To foster that relationship, we
ensure you meet our business development, implementation and operations team
prior to commitment. We feel it is important for you to meet and know the
people responsible rather than deal with faceless people in a remote office.
Once a project is initiated, a dedicated account manager and support team are
put in place, to become your daily interface at an operational level. In
support of this the business development and implementation team also regularly
meet to discuss service issues and service enhancement. This regular controlled
interface continues for the entire life cycle of the project.
Q. Will outsourcing complicate my recruitment
process?
A.
Recruitment outsourcing is all about off-loading the many tedious, time
consuming and non-value added tasks associated with the recruitment process.
The net result has to be line management having more time for core profit
related activities while enjoying easy access to a service provider that
manages all these tasks for them.
Parc is expert at providing you with an outsourced solution that while, fully
comprehensive, is delivered seamlessly and efficiently.
Our systems, processes and support functions all work harmoniously to reduce
the complexity in the entire recruitment cycle and deliver a
single-point-of-contact, easy to use service.
Q. Why should I choose Parc instead of a
recruitment company?
A.
In today's competitive marketplace, it is important that your company has
access to the widest pool of quality candidates possible. Therefore rather than
being limited to a sole agency or even a PSL of agencies, Parc's strategy
revolves around accessing the widest supply chain possible.
Our unique agency supply chain process, can provide you with simultaneous
access to dozens of recruitment agency databases, a media advertising strategy,
web based recruitment, an internal database and other localised sources. With
an outsourced solution all these channels are effectively managed for you and
in response to your changing business needs.
Rather than spend our time recruiting as an agency would, we are spending it
developing, policing and delivering a comprehensive sourcing pipeline. Our
commitment is the filling of your vacancies from the most appropriate source
and in the most cost effective manner possible.
Q. Will I lose control of recruitment by
outsourcing?
A.
Many companies do not have as much control and visibility over recruitment as
they would like, or indeed as they sometimes think. Outsourcing is all about
handing over transactional tasks and the reporting associated with the
activity. Through effective process control Parc is able to collate masses of
information and knowledge. This knowledge in turn gives our customer the power
to review current strategies and take appropriate action.
Outsourcing makes control easier. Rather than a mass of suppliers, our
customers now have a single entity to manage, and to gather reporting from.
This saves vast time in the recruitment process and gives access to one
provider with a much superior understanding of your business.
The whole operation is transparent, so at any time if your company changes
strategy, then Parc can exit seamlessly from the operation leaving a much more
effective supply chain and strategy than when the programme began.
Q. What are the principal benefits of a Parc
solution?
A.
Cost - Parc has a proven ability to reduce overall recruitment costs without
sacrificing candidate quality, or by restricting your access to the labour
market through preferred supplier arrangements. By the effective management of
all candidate sources, costs, fees margins and other terms, we can deliver real
hard cost savings.
Other cost related benefits are delivered through a sourcing strategy that
complements positive retention and delivers candidates in a manner that greatly
reduces your exposure to claims of discrimination.
Quality -Parc provides you with access to a much wider candidate pool enhancing
your level of choice. This coupled with an overlay of centralised pre-screening
and pre-qualification, delivers candidates that are right for your business.
Time - Parc can respond to a vacancy with support from 1 or 100 agencies. We
can also initiate an advertising campaign with very little notice to provide
you with a much faster response to ensure your vacancy cycle times are greatly
reduced.
Other benefits such as candidate management, logistics control and reporting all
supplement the above.
Q. Is my company too small for recruitment
outsourcing?
A.
It is often assumed that only large companies can outsource their recruitment
effectively. Often, this is far from the case. Given certain minimum
parameters, Parc can tailor a solution with a level of service that will match
your requirements in line with your pattern of usage.
So if you are recruiting 50 staff a year or more, then we would very much like
to talk to you about the benefits recruitment outsourcing might bring to your
company.
