How We Work
Our primary focus is finding the right cultural fit and building lasting relationships. This allows us to contribute to vibrant, productive, and inclusive workplaces where good people thrive.
We strive to offer flexible media recruitment services, offering both retained and contingent modes to suit your unique requirements.
Working with media recruitment agencies in retained mode:
- The client collaborates exclusively with The People Place for specific roles, dedicating our resources and time to finding the best candidates.
- With a guarantee in place, we provide flexibility to adjust the timeline and prioritise placements as needed.
- We invest significant time to understand the client’s needs, company culture, and role requirements, resulting in higher-quality candidates.
- Concentrating in-depth on a single role reduces staff turnover, improves retention, and streamlines the recruitment process from start to finish.
- The client pays a fee at the start of the search, securing our commitment to finding the right candidate, with custom arrangements negotiable.
Working with media recruitment agencies in contingent mode:
- Multiple recruiters or agencies frequently compete to fill a single job opening, raising the risk of duplicated efforts and candidate confusion.
- The client pays a fee only if our candidate is successfully placed, ensuring value-based billing.
- Rapid turnaround times required for contingent roles can result in a less thorough screening process, potentially compromising candidate quality.
- Top candidates might be contacted by several recruiters simultaneously, creating a cluttered and overwhelming experience.
- The fast-paced nature of contingent recruitment can dilute the client’s brand, potentially giving an impression of urgency or desperation.
While we recommend retained mode for the best results, as one of the most flexible media recruitment agencies, we’d love to accommodate your unique needs. Find out more about how a partnership with our lead creative recruiter, Nic, works.
