How We Work

By focusing on finding the right cultural fit and building lasting relationships, we 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.

 

Retained mode:

  • You’ll partner exclusively with The People Place for specific roles. We dedicate our resources and time to finding the best candidates.
  • With a guarantee in place, you’ll have the flexibility to adjust the timeline and prioritise placements.
  • We’ll take the time to understand your 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.
  • You’ll pay a fee at the outset of the search, securing our commitment to finding the right candidate.
  • Custom arrangements are negotiable.

 

Contingent mode:

  • Competing recruiters or agencies try to fill a single job opening, increasing the chance of duplicated efforts and candidate confusion.
  • You will only incur a fee if we successfully place our candidate, ensuring value-based billing.
  • Expedited turnaround times required for contingent roles can lead to a less thorough screening process, potentially compromising candidate quality.
  • The best candidates might be approached by several recruiters simultaneously, creating a cluttered and overwhelming experience.
  • The fast-paced nature of contingent recruitment can dilute your 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. Learn how a partnership with our lead creative recruiter, Nic, works.
