Recruiting for HR roles with salaries of £40,000 and under can feel much harder than it should do.

You know the importance of getting the right person. Someone who will be your first line of HR support, making sure the quality of your HR data and service remains high – but the budget for a full-service recruitment fee just isn’t there. Even though you know the value that a specialist recruitment agency brings, it’s simply not always affordable to spend around 20% of an annual salary on a fee for a role at this level.

At the same time, handling it all in-house isn’t realistic either.

You don’t have a pipeline of HR candidates ready to go. You don’t have a network of passive candidates (up to 70% of the market according to LinkedIn). You don’t have the hours to search, screen, and sift through CVs, or time to exit unsuitable CVs in a way that protects your brand reputation. Every day the role stays unfilled, your HR team feels the strain.

That’s where our fixed fee sourcing service comes in.

For just £2,500 + VAT, you get access to the speed, network, and specialist knowledge of an expert HR recruitment team.

✔ Detailed briefing call to understand your priorities, timeline and the role 

✔ Expert job advert writing and placement on high traffic job boards and social channels

✔ Targeted mailing to our HR candidate database

✔ Receipt of applications and management of enquiries

✔ Applications checked by a member of the Waddington Brown team – never by an algorithm

✔ Professional and courteous exiting of unsuitable candidates

✔ Client report detailing volume of applications / rejections / applicant sources

✔ Compilation of CVs of potentially suitable candidates provided to you

It’s a smart, cost-effective way to hire HR support that uses your time where it’s needed most – meeting your next team member.

FAQs:

Q: What’s included in the full Waddington Brown recruitment service that isn’t included in the Fixed Fee service?

Q: Do clients have to work exclusively with Waddington Brown on fixed fee roles?

A: No, unlike our full service, with fixed fee roles clients can use any other sources to promote their role. This can include advertising directly, and using another agency.

Q: Do we guarantee applicants?

A: No, we can’t ever force people to apply for a role, and we would never submit a CV to a client without the candidate’s knowledge and permission. However this is why we have a detailed job briefing call before advertising the role. The more we understand the benefits and opportunities in the role, the more we can create adverts and mailing campaigns that will attract interest.

Q: Can a client switch from Fixed Fee to Full Service?

A: Yes. If during the process, the client decides they would rather Waddington Brown manage all aspects of the recruitment process, we can do so under our usual exclusive terms. The fixed fee paid is non-refundable, but is deducted from the final fee for a successful placement.
