Recruitment

Recruitment

Adding any new employee to your business is a decision that should not be taken lightly.  Not only can there be considerable time and expense involved, but it is also critical you get it right, first time.  Making sure you attract the best talent for interview, and then ensuring you appoint the person who not only matches your skillset requirements, but also whose personality fits with your organisation, can be tricky.  We can help. Our team not only has extensive experience in recruiting the right person for the job, but we can also help with inductions to ensure that the person is contributing as soon as possible. ​The job market is very competitive and it is critical that, as an employer, you also make the right impression first time. 

We will identify your exact recruitment needs, assess your value proposition, and make recommendations to ensure your recruitment campaign is realistic, achievable and closes skills gaps.

Job Scoping

Businesses spend a lot of time searching for skillsets that may not exist, or for candidates who may be impossible to attract.  We can guide your recruitment planning to help you to take a realistic approach.  SYLO | Beyond HR. will help you to make the job as attractive as possible to broaden the candidate pool without compromising on quality and still ensuring skills gaps are filled.

Advertising Planning and Candidate Sourcing

The marketing of the role is crucial.  SYLO | Beyond HR. can advise you where to look for talent, how to minimise costs and how to avoid spending money on fruitless advertising.

Applicant Screening

SYLO | Beyond HR. will work with you to create a screening process that is exactly tailored to the needs of your business, neither pointlessly complex nor insufficiently rigorous.

Candidate Management

SYLO | Beyond HR’s professional approach and decades of combined recruitment experience will ensure candidates are managed efficiently, courteously but highly cost-efficiently. Using digital interfaces and tried and tested methods, we will ensure the right candidate is quickly identified and correctly managed to maximise a successful outcome. Having a ‘neutral’ third party who has only your business interests at heart and a fully transparent process will enable you to be in complete control of this part of the process.

Interview Support

Many of our clients ask us to support them with interviewing in order to ensure a fully rigorous process. We use a competency-based approach that focuses on how candidates have behaved in past scenarios rather than subjective opinions about how they might behave in the future in any given scenario. We can run an interview with you or provide you with the appropriate questions to ask in order to establish whether candidates truly have the skills and experience you need.

Job Offer Negotiation and On-boarding

This is always a particularly sensitive and risky part of the process. There is nothing worse than successfully attracting the right candidate all for it to completely fall apart at the last minute. SYLO | Beyond HR. can provide the support and expertise to both sides to ensure this does not happen.

  • SYLO Beyond HR has provided invaluable support to WheelPower. Their practical, responsive approach has helped us modernise our systems, while also strengthening our thinking at Board level. They understand the realities of the charity sector and bring both expertise and empathy to their work

    Martin McElhatton, CEO, WheelPower

  • As always, SYLO delivered a thoughtful and insightful session and I enjoyed hearing their thoughts on valuing difference in the workplace. It has helped me to be able to think about how I can encourage the people I work with to consider how effective their inclusive policies and practices are.

  • We have been using Breathe over the last term to track our staff holidays. This is a great system as it highlights different cohorts of staff and when is free for others to book on the calendar. This has supported our ratio requirements and helped us to track holiday entitlements.

    We like the system so much that we have extended it to using the staffing schedules to log staff attendance and hours needed to be processed for payroll. Sharon has been so helpful in helping us set up different employees work patterns and it has been really effective for our nursery needs.

  • Thanks to Jilli Broadhurst from SYLO | Beyond HR for visiting the Richardsons’ office last week for a CPD session with the team.

    She led the Richardsons team in a session that covered adapting their communications approach to have the best possible interactions with colleagues, peers and clients.

    The session also covered other key skills such as tactics for providing constructive feedback and effectively delegating.

    Here at Richardsons, we’re proud to be an experienced training firm – and an important part of that commitment is offering our team these kinds of opportunities to learn the skills they need to grow their careers and better support our clients.

    Thanks again to Jilli and SYLO HR!

    Jemima King, Partner, Richardsons
