HR Permanent Recruitment

The multi-tiered permanent HR recruitment model that allows you to pay for the services you actually need.

Why Should You Choose Permanent HR Recruitment?

Investing in a permanent HR hire is a big deal. You recognise the importance of having someone responsible for the happiness and performance of your workforce. That’s a good place to start.

It also puts us on the same page, as we think the best thing a business leader can do is invest in the long term success of their people.

Investing in people

This is why our HR permanent recruitment service is a popular choice for businesses who are looking to invest more into their people, the driving force of any business. Opting to go down the permanent HR recruitment path can help to create a more consistent and stable HR presence in your business, which is unlikely to be achieved as effectively by going down the HR contractor route.

This means that your HR hire will become more familiar with the work ethic and intricacies of how you operate, meaning that they can offer solutions that best suit your business, and the people within it.

You are smart to put your people first

Perhaps your business has grown and this is your first HR hire? You might need a little more coaching around the skill-set and seniority of your new recruit. You also might need some additional help with attracting talent to your business if you’re not a consumer brand and/or not well-known in the market.

The Benefits of HR Permanent Recruitment

The HR permanent recruitment process involves hiring an HR professional on a permanent basis, which can provide your business with various benefits:

Stability and Peace of Mind

Hiring an employee on a permanent basis in HR has many benefits, one of the main positives for the company and management is the stability and peace of mind that it brings. This is one of the main differences between permanent and contract employment, as this level of stability is not really found as often with contracted HR work.

A permanent HR presence provides a level of familiarity and confidence for both employers and employees, knowing that there is someone they recognise, and can confide in to resolve HR situations and take ownership for the wider people agenda.

Cost-Efficiency

By only hiring HR professionals on a contractual basis, as and when you need them, means frequently being in the re-hiring process. The hiring process can be costly, especially if you opt to use a recruitment agency to help find a new HR employee every time. Instead, opting to invest in a permanent HR employee will work out to be more cost-effective in the long run.

Increased Retention Rates

Permanent HR workers will have a more detailed and vast knowledge of your business and the way both the company and its workers operate successfully. Then, when it comes to recruiting new staff and retaining existing ones , your HR manager can lean on their expertise to secure the best outcome for your business. This means prospective candidates are more likely to be a solid fit for the business, increasing retention rates amongst employees.

Team Building & Cohesion

Allowing the HR employee to adopt a permanent role within the company can increase team building amongst themselves and the rest of the internal staff. As HR employees are available to help provide advice for employees’ mental well-being and to discuss personal undisclosed topics. Having someone who is always there can help to build relationships and improve employee well-being.

Permanent HR Recruitment FAQs

How long is my permanent HR hire likely to stay in my business?

The average tenure of an HR professional in a UK business is generally around 3 to 5 years. Factors such as career growth opportunities, the desire for new challenges, and work-life balance are significant influences on HR professionals’ decisions to stay or leave their roles.

Retention strategies, such as offering career development opportunities and improving company culture, are crucial for retaining HR professionals and reducing turnover rates. Ultimately, ensuring you assess and recruit the right person initially is going to have a significant bearing on the length of time your permanent HR hire remains in your business.

What are some common challenges with making a permanent HR hire?

Making a permanent HR hire can present several challenges, including matching the right skills and experience, competing for talent in a competitive market and ensuring cultural fit. This is particularly important when hiring an HR Manager / Head of HR or someone in a talent acquisition role, as they will ultimately be the custodian of your company’s culture / employer brand. It’s therefore hugely important that they embody the values and ethos of the business to ensure it continues to grow and thrive in the desired way.

How can a business improve its permanent recruitment process when working with an agency?

Clearly outlining job requirements, company culture, and specific qualifications to help the agency match candidates effectively
Selecting a recruitment agency that specialises in the role you’re hiring
Building a collaborative relationship with the agency through regular communication and feedback
Utilising the agency’s market knowledge for insights on salary benchmarks, hiring trends, and candidate availability
Providing prompt and detailed feedback on candidates to refine the search process, and ensure a positive candidate experience
Ensuring your internal hiring process is efficient to avoid candidates dropping out of the process

This process can be made easier by working with recruitment consultants who specialise in finding HR talent and placing them in a suitable business.

Companies must also align candidate and company expectations to prevent dissatisfaction and turnover. Effective onboarding and integration are crucial to avoid early attrition, while ongoing engagement and professional development are essential for retention.

Addressing these challenges requires a strategic approach that includes thorough recruitment processes, supportive onboarding programmes, and growth opportunities for HR professionals.
