Employers - Services Overview

Our aim is to help you to achieve a better return on your investment in professional Health and Safety people. If you want to recruit Health and Safety people on a permanent, temporary  or interim basis, there are several ways we can help depending upon the nature and urgency of your need. These are the main ways we can partner with you:-

As Health and Safety Recruitment Agents

When speed is of the essence using a specialist Health and Safety recruitment agency will always guarantee a quick selection of potential candidates. If you need to fill jobs quickly with the best available talent then ask about our Recruitment Agency service

As Talent Brokers

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 they can with their current employer. 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 will introduce you to suitably talented people who will make a great long term match.

As Head Hunters

With an executive network second to none, Shirley Parsons Associates has that unique combination of senior in-house Health and Safety expertise combined with extensive talent sourcing experience.  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.  Shirley herself has the best talent network by far and this has been proven time and again over the years. Please read our executive talent success stories to see what we mean.   If the talent you need exists, then we can find it for you.

As Consultants

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.

As Campaign and Campaign Element Managers

Managed campaigns have many optional elements according to the nature of the talent needed, the timescales involved and the budgets available.  Having agreed how the campaign will be managed (in  formal terms of reference), a full campaign involves many stages.  These include attracting and filtering applicants, short listing, client interviews and assessments, offer, acceptance and nurture until starting a new job, as well as oversight during the settling in period.  Sometimes clients wish to handle some of the elements directly themselves and in these cases we will always be happy to quote for individual elements including advertising, response filtering, consultancy and technical and psychometric assessments.

When you partner with us, here is what you can expect: -

Lower Cost, Higher Quality

Many employers suffer unnecessary 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.

Just-In-Time Recruitment

Reducing the lead time to hire the people who will be a good long term fit for your organisation is a great benefit which comes from a partnership with Shirley Parsons 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.
