Problem Definition and Scope. Sometimes it makes sense to step back, redefine the problem and look at a wider range of talent solutions. We understand Health and Safety well enough to help you to decide whether you need consultancy or a consultant at this stage. We can introduce consultancy partners or help you to source and engage the services of an appropriate consultant.
Implementation and Delivery. If you want to hire your own employees then we can recruit the appropriate temporary or career staff. If you want to insource or outsource we would be happy to make introductions to other recommended organisations.
Evolution and Sustainability. If you need help with continuous improvement of your Health and Safety operations, or want to adopt a more revolutionary approach to change we can always help with any form of hiring or partner recommendation. We also undertake quality (ISO9001)
audits and training
courses (using our own associates managed by us).
Given that hiring your own temporary or career staff is the best option, then the urgency, seniority and scarcity will impact upon the type of recruitment solution chosen. Using specialist Health and Safety recruitment agencies exclusively or competitively can often work well for requirements which need to be filled urgently and where the best long term match is not mandatory. If you need to fill jobs quickly with the best available talent then ask about our Recruitment Agency service
Talent broking
Making a great long term match is the aim of our talent broking service. We always have a good selection of talented people, generally fairly happily employed, who are seeking better long-term career prospects. They are not job-hoppers but are seeking change which will help them fulfil their career ambitions better than where they are now. As an employer, if you take a longer term view of your likely talent needs and you are career centric in your employment philosophy, then we can line up suitably talented people who will make a great long term match.
Head hunting
If you need very senior or very specialist talent and it only exists in a very small talent pool, then headhunting is likely to be the only real choice. With an executive network second to none, Shirley Parsons has that unique combination of senior in house Health and Safety expertise combined with extensive talent sourcing experience. If the talent you need exists, then Shirley Parsons can find it for you.
Consulting
Occasionally a health and safety specialist needs to be recruited by an organisation which lacks the in house expertise to properly plan for or assess the technical talents of the applicants. In these instances Shirley Parsons (CMIOSH) will personally help. Having operated professionally in Health and Safety at virtually every level during a career spanning over 25 years, Shirley is ideally qualified to help.
Lower Cost, Higher Quality
Many employers suffer un-necessary staff turnover, especially when market demand for talent is high. Much of this is down to timing. Appointing people who make a better long term fit with your organisation, rather than hiring the best from the available talent pool is easier to achieve than most organisations believe. Partnering with us as a dedicated Talent Broker is the first step to making this happen. Ask how we use career mapping to help make the best match for you or read about a successful
case study.
Just-In-Time Recruitment
Reducing the lead time to hire those people who will be a good long term fit for your organisation is the second stage benefit which comes from a partnership with us as your Talent Broker.
Commitment
When clients ask us to help source talent, we take care not to spread ourselves too thinly. This is especially important in today’s markets where top candidates always have several options from which to choose. Our Talent Brokers will only ever commit to serve up to 4 clients at any one time when we are engaged as the exclusive supplier of
HSEQ talent.
