offerings

We believe that building up a strong understanding of each client business and its people, culture, offerings and strategy is the cornerstone of any successful recruitment partnership and that this approach will lead to the best results.

Our advice to any hiring leaders would be to select a small number of high quality recruitment partners, and allow them the time and access to enable them to become knowledgeable and passionate advocates for you in the highly competitive talent market.
Let’s have a chat and if you decide that one of these partners should be S and C then FANTASTIC let’s do this!

This is our preferred model as working with clients on an ongoing basis allows us to build up a holistic view of their organisation and to use our extensive experience, in Recruitment Delivery and In-House Talent Acquisition Strategy & Operational consulting, to make great hires at the same time as helping solve any wider talent challenges.

Search Partner Subscription is also our best value offering – as clients pay a low quarterly subscription fee which (like a retainer) goes towards paying our heavily-discounted, subscription-only placement fees when hires are made. The model also …

• Promotes a closer partnership and a deeper understanding of your business and its people (rather than just a single role). As a result, we will be able to use our experience to help you drive measurable improvements in your recruitment process and will become true advocates and talent brand ambassadors in the market, much like an In-house Recruitment Business Partner would.
• Allows for multiple current (or pipeline) hiring projects to be delivered simultaneously, for a fraction of the up-front cost of a single retained search from most traditional search firms. This means that we can build specialist talent pipelines across your business to help make future hiring as efficient as possible.
• Offers greater flexibility to activate/pause/break the subscription on a quarter-by-quarter basis; making the inevitable spikes in recruitment less stressful and the lulls less expensive

Best for: growing organisations looking for a flexible and cost-effective relationship with a high-quality recruitment partner that knows their business inside out and helps them to make better hiring decisions, more efficiently and at lower cost.

Every search for talented new leader or team member is different but we believe that outstanding hiring outcomes are most likely to be achieved when all of the stages below are thoroughly thought through and expertly managed.

Role & Process Definition  –  Research  –   Search & Attraction  –  Assessment  –  Offer  –  Onboarding & Integration 

Here at S and C we can help you to design and run a best-in-class end-to-end recruitment process, and (unlike most traditional firms) we are so confident in our ability to deliver exceptional results that we charge a low monthly retainer to cover costs, with the vast majority of our fees being payable only after a successful hire.

Significantly lower up-front costs mean more flexibility for you and greater incentive for us to find the right candidate in a timely manner.

Best for: organisations with one-off or irregular recruitment requirements OR those looking for a new approach to previously hard-to-fill positions.

As well as working on specific searches, at S and C we have extensive experience of helping organisations make strategic and process improvements to their Talent Acquisition capabilities.

We can help you transform the way that you go about Planning, Sourcing, Attracting, Assessing and Onboarding the ideal profiles for your business.

We will be very happy to tailor a project proposal to suit your specific needs so please feel free to start a conversation.

Best for: organisations looking to make high-impact, sustainable improvements to the way they hire or to solve specific talent acquisition challenges.
