Yes, but I am confident that it offers excellent value in relation to how productive the students and graduates can be, and the value they can bring to a business. There is a huge amount of work that goes into sourcing and screening candidates. I have quite a high profile, so there are generally dozens to hundreds of applications for each job, but they aren’t always the right ones for you. So I also invest time in proactively finding others. It is not always easy to find the right candidates, but it’s what I do, and there is nothing to pay unless one of my candidates joined you.
I take pride in my work, and throughout my recruitment career I have had an outstanding record in finding the right candidates for my clients. Very seldom has it not worked out, and most candidates I have placed have gone on to have successful careers with their employers. My job is to send you candidates who are the best available and most interested. You can then interview them and see who is the best match for you, and support them when they start. If we get this right between us then then there shouldn’t be any issues. But, when working with people it will not work out 100% of the time, so for your peace of mind there is a rebate period included in my terms: if they did leave within the first 12 weeks you would get a full or partial refund, or a replacement (depending on when they left).
Is the quality there, and are you 100% certain that there is not someone even stronger who is not aware of your opportunity? I don’t charge a fee unless one of my candidates joins you, so it won’t cost you anything to find out.
Graduates aren’t always aware of the benefits and opportunities that are offered from a career with an SME, nor where to find them. These graduates are skilled in their own area, their skill is not generally in uncovering work opportunities; and apart from very niche areas it may be a bit unrealistic to expect that a graduate will have heard of an SME by name. 99% have not, and this does not affect their suitability. In terms of proactivity in a candidate, I do my bit to measure this as part of the process.
A donation is made to each of SME Graduate Employment’s 4 charity partners every time a placement is made.
