Direct resourcing strategy
All recruiting is social recruiting
Social Media is no longer an option for the corporate recruiter; it now needs to be part of every direct resourcing strategy. But there are many other "traditional" aspects that still need to be considered ranging from job boards to employer branding and everything else that we include in The System.
Research
The social web changes constantly with new products and services being launched almost daily. From widgets to apps, networks to mash-ups we spend as much time on research as we do anything else. Staying abreast of the most popular social media tools whilst trying out the ‘latest and greatest' we are able to form a more objective view to save our customers time and effort.

Free reports and programmes
We have a number of reports and white papers available under our Insider Info section. We also offer:
- A free Social Recruiting Programme.
- A free Google Adwords Programme.
- And free again The Corporate Recruiters Handbook.
Workshops and seminars
To help recruiters learn more about the various direct resourcing strategies we run a range of workshops and breakfast seminars. You can get more information in the Workshops section of this website.
The Discovery System
We always start by understanding where you need to improve before we make any recommendations or, provide tactical services. The Discovery System is a set of steps that identifies the critical aspects of your recruitment strategy and where investment will deliver the best return.
To get a free DIY version of The Discovery System register for a FREE copy of the Corporate Recruiters Handbook or attend our Discovery System Breakfast Seminar.
Applicant Tracking Systems
We have procured, implemented and fixed many different recruitment systems for a range of organisations and still today see poor decisions being made. It is rarely the ATS that is at fault as it does what it does. In most cases the business need is poorly defined which results in a bad fit. To help employers avoid the pain of making a bad decision we can help with the any part of the process from initial ATS needs analysis all the way to full system implementation.
Career Site
We have built and worked on a number of career sites ranging from very small to very large. We start from the candidate experience being fully inclusive all the way to full integration with your ATS, Facebook, Twitter and more.
From design to the latest technology, for a career site that will do more than win a few pointless awards make sure you talk to us first. We think if we are good enough for Tesco we should be able to help you!
Media Buying
From job boards to Google, Facebook to Linkedin, we help you reduce your spend with attraction channels that cost the earth but deliver nothing. Don't believe the job board hype of "applications = hires" as we have proven this to not always be the case. And don't be scared of social networks as we'll take care of them as well!
But don't think of us as an ad agency either. We automate as much as possible so we do as little as possible so we can charge you as little as possible. That way we have time to focus on what delivers value (for you) rather than just profit (for us).
2010 is Year of the Referral
Making more of friends and family makes sense for every business but is rarely a simple process for anyone. Taking our knowledge of online marketing tools, we show you how to build a referral programme that works while you recruit and minimises the amount of administering normally required.
Talent Pool
Most employers have one but very few make any use of it. By maximising the sames tools used for your referral programme we show you how to keep your talent pool warm with minimal effort and maximum automation for a lot less than you would think.
Analysis and ROI
Making sure what we advise works is critical to our success but making sure you have the evidence first hand is vital for our continued relationship. Using a range of free and paid for analytic tools we show which 50% of your marketing is not working - and can cease without fear of missing out!
Consulting
We work directly with customers on strategic projects that focus on attracting and hiring the best people. With many years recruiting, e-recruitment and web 2.0 experience, and plenty of evidence, we think we are uniquely placed to advise employers on how social media and web 2.0 can be used to transform business performance through better talent management.

Of course it is easy for us to say; so don't just listen to us, join our own social network Talent Cloud and 'ask around'. You may just find out we do what we say; keeps it simple that way.
