The soft underbelly - Being Brilliant at the Basics

Many people think that the recruitment industry is a con. Faxed CV's which the candidate put together themselves, one candidate layout completely different to the next; presented for consideration without so much as a pre-interview, if anything, focussing on prior experience rather than attitude. The Russian Roulette of recruitment practice.

We advocate recruitment from a different direction - we look for talent. We look for the right attitude. We look for people with that special something - then, if they are sales recruits; we train them.

You can expect the total cost for any employee to be between six months and a years salary of the position, when you take all things including business disruption into account.

Good recruitment boosts the organisation by injecting enthusiasm, new skills and knowledge, in a timely and cost effective manner.When it goes wrong - it sets back the business. So let's try to get it right first time and not have to do the whole thing again 3 months later.

Good recruitment practices give us the best chance of making the right decision and reinforce in people's minds that you are a good company to join even if they do not get the job.

Ready to Roll recruitment practices damage your reputation - not just with candidates but with everyone they tell. Ready to Roll recruitment practices also expose you to risk - untrained screening and interviews, inappropriate selection tools and assessment practices can also result in expensive litigation.

Ask yourself where does your traditional recruitment agency fit in today and who else but 999tom.com is in the market today with a full recruitment, assessment, selection, training and appraisal product for the Motor Retail Industry ? Ask yourself also, what's changed since you started in the business - same old laid back recruiters where the only fast response is an invoice within 10 minutes of the candidate starting and reference to their terms and conditions when that candidate so often leaves after just a few weeks.

Even after 5 years of operating - who, but 999tom.com politely sidelines the pre-prepared CV and instead creates a true Curriculum Vitae of vital information - bullet points not Bull#sh3t points.

Who but 999tom.com includes a personality profile for the candidate and full numeracy and literacy testing with benchmarks for the employer ?

Who, but 999tom.com engages with the assignment, works smart and presents you with the candidate rather than a facimile impression ?

Executive recruitment

Generalist Human Resource and Business Recovery skills are at the root of our experience and more information is available through our affiliates site links. This is a plain speaking conduit - if we can't do it, we will tell you, if we can, we will act by our watch and not by our calendar. There is a saying in consultancy - "if you are not part of the problem, there is good money to be made by prolonging the solution". Let's make it clear - we are not consultants - we much prefer to operate as business partners..
