risks. Whilst we recognise that you cannot foresee certain eventualities that will impact hiring needs, we have proven that developing a
workforce plan based on the ‘known knowns’ saves significant time and money in the long run, enabling proactive recruitment activities
at the right time, focused in the right places. ALLEN & YORK’s planning solutions reduce the need for reactive recruitment down to those
situations you just cannot predict.

Sourcing candidates with the right skillset and calibre raises a number of considerations including cost, employer brand management and reaching individuals with niche skills.
Recruitment advertising, whether online or offline, is increasingly expensive when recruiting for niche skills and including corporate branding raises costs even further. ALLEN &

direct access to a wide array of talent.

R E S P O N S E H A N D L I N G
Whether you are recruiting for niche or junior to mid-level roles, the intuitive nature of many web-based jobseeker systems mean that responses to most vacancies are
significant and largely irrelevant. As a result, effectively handling the response is time consuming and resource intensive. Simply ignoring the responses that do not match the
immediate requirement without acknowledgement or considering suitability for future requirements affects employer brand and reduces return on advertising spend. ALLEN &
YORK’s Response Handling solution can help you promote your employer brand whilst identifying candidates for the long term.
CANDIDATE PROFILE
We will work with you to develop a framework candidate profile based upon company culture,
key skills requirements, medium to long term organisational plans and geographical locations.
EFFICIENT PROCESS
Streamlining the way in which you handle the responses including automated, standardised
acknowledgments and fixed selection criteria, significantly reduces the resource requirement.
APPLICATION MANAGEMENT
We guarantee to acknowledge 100% of applications within two working hours, protecting and
enhancing your employer brand which in turn generates high quality candidate referrals.
CANDIDATE PIPELINING
Using the candidate profile, we review every application to identify candidates that may not
be right for the immediate requirement, but that possess skills and behaviours for future
potential.
QUALITY
- Protect and strengthen employer brand
- Standardised responses maintains
standards
EFFICIENCY

money

to hire
RISK

tailored to each requirement.

and business division in line with the latest UK legislation and Home Office guidelines.
