Award-winning national recruitment firm SkyBlue has launched a new service to fulfil the needs of many businesses for a centralised and comprehensive recruitment function.
Source Smart offers a complete recruitment solution, providing the highest quality temporary, permanent and contract staff for a whole range of markets.
The Source Smart team will manage a businesses' entire recruitment process, negotiating better rates with preferred suppliers, minimizing risk by controlling agreed terms and conditions and reducing volumes of recruitment admin.
Source Smart was set up in 2006 and soon after took on Carillion plc as its first ever client. Fresh from this success, SkyBlue Source Smart is now opening its doors to companies throughout the UK.
"Such has been the success with Carillion that we are ready to make the step into the national arena much earlier than originally hoped,” says Head of SkyBlue Source Smart Nicola Jervis.
Carillion plc, one of the UK's leading support services and construction companies, has been impressed by the level of service provided by Source Smart.
"We have found Source Smart to be extremely efficient, responsive, professional and helpful in all our dealings regarding temporary employees," says Eugene McQuaid, Project Manager for Carillion in Piccadilly Place, Manchester.
"The benefits of using Source Smart are extensive. Traditional methods to find temporary staff involve the client negotiating and working with preferred agencies. Although these agencies often provide an excellent service, dealing with them can be costly in terms of time, rates and contractual risk.
"By implementing a centrally controlled recruitment delivery model, you can control costs, minimise risk by controlling the terms and conditions agreed and reduce the time taken by your team to administer the recruitment process.
"In other words. There’s more time for your team to focus on your core business. By reducing the amount of administration that you need to be involved with, Source Smart frees up your time considerably whilst ensuring back office efficiencies.
"Once the Managed Service is implemented by a client all they have to do is send all requirements for temporary, freelance or permanent personnel to a central support team. The support team then manage the entire process, working with our preferred supply partners to ensure that we attract the best talent into your organisation.
"In essence, the involvement of your management team will be kept to a minimum. However, you will not lose control over the process, but will not need to undertake the time consuming administration behind it," added Nicola.
