Our sense check sessions

Talent forecasting & planning

Ideal for businesses undergoing an internal restructure, or planning for growth.

We assess your current team structure, identify skill gaps, and recommend enhancements to your hiring plan to ensure you have the right skills and capabilities to drive efficiency and growth, and minimise costly hiring mistakes.

Role profiling & salary benchmarking

Before you hire, you need to ensure your role scope and salaries are competitive and realistic.

We help you define clear role requirements, ensuring job descriptions align with the skills needed for success. We also provide market-driven salary insights to help attract and retain top talent.

Job advert writing & optimisation

A well-designed role and competitive salary will not attract top talent if your advertising copy fails to engage.

We make sure your job ads are clear, engaging, and tailored to attract the right candidates. We refine your messaging to improve clarity, inclusivity, and searchability, increasing applications from qualified talent.

Employer branding & candidate attraction

Strong employer branding is the key to attracting and retaining top talent.

This consultation helps businesses build a compelling employer brand, as we make recommendations to refine your messaging, showcase your company culture, and create strategies to engage the right candidates, ensuring you stand out in a competitive hiring market.

Qualifying your shortlisted candidates

Recruitment ready, but not got the time or resource to fully qualify your applicants?

We bring efficiency and objectivity to your hiring process by qualifying your shortlisted applicants on your behalf, ensuring only the most suitable candidates progress to the interview stage. Conducting a thorough qualification of candidates at this stage leads to stronger hires, improved retention, and a more seamless recruitment experience.

This variable-cost service is dependent on the amount of candidates we qualify on your behalf, and includes the following within the cost:

  • Role briefing to align on key job requirements
  • GDPR-compliant processes to ensure data protection
  • Face-to-face candidate qualification for deeper assessment
  • Written reject summaries for transparency and feedback
  • Detailed profile submissions for recommended candidates

For the period of qualification, no candidate will be offered additional opportunities by BTB. Any candidate not hired by the client but who wishes to engage BTB to find future opportunities, has the right to do so.

Why invest in Direct Hiring Support?

Many businesses take recruitment into their own hands, only to encounter unexpected challenges that lead to costly mistakes, high turnover, and wasted time.

But the solution isn’t always full outsourcing. Instead, a smarter approach is enhancing and optimising your in-house recruitment efforts - and that’s where we come in.

Firstly, are you facing these hiring challenges?

  • Are you experiencing a high turnover of staff, suggesting potential problems with your selection process and decision-making?
  • Is your industry restrictive, such as in tobacco or niche markets, limiting the number of candidates attracted to your roles?
  • Are you simply not attracting the quality or talent you anticipated?
  • Do you face challenges recruiting for specialist roles that your team is unfamiliar with?
  • Is your company relatively unknown, making it difficult to excite candidates?
  • Have you reduced your talent acquisition resources while needing to fill a high number of positions?
  • Is your HR or talent team equipped to filter only the strongest CVs?
  • Do you know how to organise workflow for best practice response times throughout all stages of the recruitment process?
  • Do you struggle to sift through hundreds of applications without the time or resources to find the best candidates?
  • Are your hiring times longer than expected, delaying key projects and impacting overall productivity?
  • Are your hiring managers skilled interviewers, thoroughly qualifying candidates to make the right hires?
  • Can you proactively maintain contact with potential candidates, maximising engagement and keeping your top prospects warm?

Every one of these challenges can impact your bottom line, from revenue loss due to poor hires to wasted time, brand damage and decreased morale.
