How We Work

Our focus is finding the right cultural fit and building lasting relationships. This allows us to ensure vibrant, productive, and inclusive workplaces where good people thrive.

We offer flexible digital recruitment services, in both retained and contingent recruitment modes to suit your unique requirements.

 

Digital recruitment in retained mode:

  • The client partners exclusively with The People Place for specific roles, dedicating our resources and time to finding the best candidates.
  • With a guarantee in place, we offer flexibility to adjust the timeline and prioritise placements as necessary.
  • We invest significant time to understand the client’s needs, company culture, and role requirements, leading to higher-quality candidates.
  • Focusing in-depth on a single role reduces staff turnover, enhances retention, and streamlines the recruitment process from start to finish.
  • The client pays a fee at the outset of the search, securing our commitment to finding the right candidate, with custom arrangements negotiable.

 

Digital recruitment in contingent mode:

  • Multiple recruiters or agencies often compete to fill a single job opening, increasing the chance of duplicated efforts and candidate confusion.
  • The client incurs a fee only if our candidate is successfully placed, ensuring value-based billing.
  • Speedy turnaround times required for contingent roles can lead to a less thorough screening process, potentially compromising candidate quality.
  • Top candidates might be approached by several recruiters simultaneously, creating a cluttered and overwhelming experience.
  • The fast-paced nature of contingent recruitment can dilute the client’s brand, giving an impression of urgency or desperation.

While we recommend retained mode for best results, we’d love to discuss your unique digital recruitment needs. Find out more about what a partnership with our creative recruiter, Nic, can do for you.

Our Process

Our digital recruitment process typically involves:

01

An initial consultation

We start with a detailed discussion with clients to fully understand their needs, expectations, goals, and company culture. This helps us clearly define the role and identify the ideal candidate profile.

05

Coordinating interviews

We manage all aspects of scheduling interviews, making the process seamless and efficient for both clients and candidates. This includes follow-up communications and feedback collection.

02

Candidate sourcing

We tap into our vast network, leveraging industry connections and multiple channels to source top candidates. We also undertake targeted advertising and executive searches.

06

Negotiation

We facilitate negotiations, helping to finalise offers, salary packages, and other employment terms. Our goal is to ensure a fair and transparent process that meets the needs of both parties.

03

Interview and screening

We carry out thorough interviews and rigorous screening processes to evaluate candidates both professionally and personally, ensuring we only present the most suitable candidates.

07

Onboarding support

Our onboarding support ensures a smooth transition for new hires. We assist with paperwork and orientation and provide regular check-ins to ensure satisfaction from both the employer and the employee.

04

Presenting candidates

Clients receive detailed profiles for each candidate, complete with resumes, portfolios, and interview insights. This eliminates guesswork and showcases why each candidate is a strong fit for the role.
