The benefits of working with CPH

Our track record to date, which can be fully referenced, clearly demonstrates that we can provide direct recruitment solutions which enable our clients to realise a range of quantifiable benefits from engaging with us.

Management time freed up

By far the biggest 'hidden cost' in recruitment is the time hiring managers spend on dealing with unsolicited agency calls and e-mails, reviewing CVs and, in particular, conducting interviews with unsuitable candidates. CPH removes all the time consuming and non value added elements of recruitment, freeing up management time to concentrate on core business activities.

Reduced costs

We can provide examples of the substantial cost per hire reductions that we have made for our clients. In some cases there have been savings of over 40% on a client's previous annual recruitment spend.

Reduced first year employee attrition

We have successfully demonstrated that we can halve a client’s first year employee attrition. First year attrition being the most expensive in attrition terms as recruitment, induction and training costs have typically all been incurred before the employee is adding real value to your business.

Reduced 'time to fill'

By implementing 'best practice' recruitment processes and improving your recruitment ratios, CPH will accelerate your recruitment cycle, ensuring that the average time that it takes to hire candidates is reduced - so key, new employees will be contributing to your business sooner.

Improved recruitment ratios

We will improve your conversion rates all the way through the recruitment life cycle - from initial CV received to interview; 1st interview to 2nd interview; interview to offer; offer to acceptance.

More control over your recruitment

By creating a direct recruitment model for you, CPH gives you greater control and ownership over sourcing and hiring candidates. This is particularly important in today’s 'internet age', with candidates increasingly managing their own careers, and wanting to deal directly with prospective employers.
We believe strongly that companies should retain as much control as possible over their recruitment - CPH gives all its clients the ability to achieve this.

Reliance on agencies removed

There are very few companies that would not like to reduce their usage of agencies. By working with you to source and attract candidates directly, and so eliminates, or substantially reduces, your reliance on agencies - giving you more control over your recruiting, and lower recruitment costs.

Improved recruitment technology

If required, CPH can recommend and implement IT solutions which will enhance the way in which we manage your recruitment activities together. This can include improving the ways in which you interface with prospective employees; tracking the progress of each individual application; and building your own candidate database, which can help create future cost and time savings. We only recommend an IT solution if we can demonstrate that benefits will be realised. We do not partner with any specific recruitment technology vendor and therefore provide you with genuinely independent advice.

Enhancing your company's reputation

Potential employees will form an opinion on a company through their recruitment experience as an applicant. By providing a 'high touch' personal approach, and a professional/efficient recruitment process, your CPH account team will ensure that potential candidates have a positive experience, even if their application is unsuccessful. We will use our considerable recruitment expertise to help you to build and develop your 'employer brand' and assist you in becoming an employer of choice in your market sector.

Flexibility

There are always peaks and troughs in recruitment demand, particularly for quarterly driven companies. By working with CPH, we can ensure you are able to cost effectively scale up and down your resources and activities to meet these changes in hiring requirements.
