Slide 13

If you are looking to recruit it is worth remembering that people looking for new roles cite their top 3 drivers (after salary):

• Flexible working hours

• Pension

• Good holiday entitlement (+25 days)

Attracting Candidates

Slide 14

Contract & Interim Rates

• Paid £x / day basis

• Higher risk, higher reward

What are you worth? Conversion Rule of Thumb:

• Divide permanent salary by 100

• Then £40k = £400 / day

Slide 15

Agencies….what to look out for….

Is it a genuine live role? • Who is the hiring organisation. Has the agency placed there

before? Are they on the Preferred Supplier List? What is the selection process?

Have they asked for references…why?• Contract roles…agency takes references. Perm role…hiring

organisation takes references• Using your references just to find new clients?

Rate?• Have they told you not to discuss rates during interview?

Why? Lack of transparency? What is the agency fee?

Slide 17
