I'm Natalie and I’ve recently joined Fig-HR as Recruitment Advisor. As part of our growing HR and people services offering, we're excited to be expanding our recruitment support to help businesses attract, secure and retain the right talent.
One of the things I enjoy about recruitment at Fig-HR is that we're part of a
wider HR consultancy. It means that recruitment isn't looked at in isolation, it's considered as part of the bigger picture.
Finding the right person is important, but so is everything that comes before
and after the hire. From shaping a role and understanding what a business
really needs, to onboarding a new starter and navigating any people-related challenges that may arise, having HR expertise can be incredibly valuable.
It also means that if a client has a question that's outside of recruitment,
whether it's around contracts, performance concerns, employment law a more complex situation, there are experienced HR professionals on hand to offer guidance and support.
What makes good recruitment?
In my experience, some key factors that contribute to a successful hire include:
Clearly defining the role and expectations from the first point of contact
Understanding the skills, qualifications, behaviours and cultural fit required
Reaching the right candidates through effective sourcing strategies
Conducting a thorough selection process
Providing a positive and effective experience for both candidate and client
Following up with both candidate and client post recruitment to ensure both parties are satisfied.
How can we help?
For many businesses, particularly smaller organisations, it can be reassuring to know that help is available across a range of people matters, not just when there's a vacancy to fill. We often find that recruitment conversations naturally lead to wider discussions about team structure, growth plans, retention, or people challenges and it's helpful to have that expertise readily available when needed.
That's why we offer different levels of support. Whether you're looking for a fully managed recruitment solution, support with specific stages of the hiring process, or occasional assistance when a difficult role comes along, we can tailor our approach to suit you.
For some businesses, that develops into an ongoing partnership where we get to know their team, culture, and hiring preferences over time. For others, we're there to provide support on a one-off basis when they need an extra helping hand.
Ultimately, recruitment is about people and no two businesses have exactly the same requirements.
Having access to both recruitment and HR expertise allows us to take a more tailored approach, offering practical support that fits around the way each organisation prefers to work.
