At ProTech our whole focus is on building long-term relationships with our clients.

<p><strong>What is Contingent Recruitment?</strong></p> <p>Contingent recruitment is when an agency takes on a permanent job vacancy from a client and seeks to fill the position by leveraging their connections, database and access to candidates to present the client with a selection of candidates to interview for the role.</p> <p>If a placement is subsequently made, the agency charges the client a fee, or in the case of a temporary worker, a margin for finding the candidate for them. That said, there is no outright commitment from either side to see the hiring process through to the end, unlike with a retained search. The reason for this is that in contingent recruitment the client may be using any number of agencies to fill a role, so there is no particular incentive for any one recruiter to focus on that role.</p> <p><strong>What sort of Vacancies are filled with Contingent Recruitment?</strong></p> <p>Contingent can work reasonably well with vacancies that are mid-level in terms of skill required and where there are likely to be many qualified candidates to shortlist for the position. This could also be due to location, as for example, a vacancy in a large conurbation is likely to have more candidates available than a role in a remote rural area.</p> <p><strong>How does Contingent Recruitment work with ProTech?</strong></p> <p>We agree fees up front with clients. Permanent fees are based upon the candidate's salary and are payable on the candidates start date. Temporary rates quoted are inclusive of National Insurance Contributions, Annual Leave and Workplace Pension payments.</p> <p>Once we have agreed the job details, we get to work looking for the ideal candidate for the client. Contact and relationships are important to us which is why we always prefer to meet with the client in person, so as to gain a better understanding of the role and the environment in which the new recruit is going to be working. We will be in ongoing communication with the client to ensure their needs are being met and to understand their requirements, especially if they develop or change during the process.</p> <p><strong>What are the Advantages of Contingent Recruitment?</strong></p> <p>The main benefit for a client looking to hire using a contingent process is that there is no financial commitment and they will only pay once there is a successful placement.</p> <p><strong>What are the Downsides of Contingent Recruitment?</strong></p> <p>The client can utilise multiple agencies although this is not always necessarily in the clients best interests. Recruiters working on a contingent basis know that they are in competition with other recruiters and if they know that a client has employed several agencies for their recruitment campaign then the recruiter is disincentivised to them to treat the vacancy as a high priority. In these circumstances it is possible for recruiters to commit a lot of effort to search for the perfect candidate but have another agency make a placement in the meantime. The opposition may not have taken the time and effort required to complete a proper screening process and may 'win' simply by being fastest due to them cutting corners in the process. Why should that matter to the hirer? Well it may not, but don't expect much (if any) loyalty back from the recruiter and it will certainly be difficult to build a great working relationship over the long-term.</p> <p><strong>How do ProTech succeed with their clients using Contingent Recruitment?</strong></p> <p>Where ProTech have had most success with contingent recruitment is when we work in partnership with our clients and have built a long-standing relationships where we fully understand the way that the client's business operates and can therefore better match candidates to their requirements. There is a mutual understanding between us and our long-term clients in the sense that we understand what they will need and they understand that we go out of our way to make sure they receive the best candidates available. This comes from working together over time and putting the time into the relationship to understand each other's business. In these circumstances ProTech has a strong advantage over the opposition due to the understanding of the clients business and relationship with the hirer that has built-up over many years.</p>

Contingent

<p><strong>What is Contract Recruitment?</strong></p> <p>Put simply, contract recruitment is the provision of a worker on a short or longer-term basis. This can be either for a specific role or project, or for a fixed time period or for open-ended time period.</p> <p>Many of the clients that ProTech Recruitment work with will have a short-term need for a worker where they don't want to take on a permanent employee as there is insufficient long-term need for this but there is nonetheless an immediate requirement for a worker to come and provide work services. This could be for a number of potential reasons, eg due to a project over-running, covering annual leave, covering or a period of long-term sickness, maternity leave, someone leaving the business at short notice and/or a sudden increase in the amount of work coming in that requires a rapid increase in head-count to manage it.</p> <p>In this instance a business could look to recruit a contract worker who would be engaged on the assignment for a defined period of time, enabling the business to continue hitting production deadlines or other targets and ensuring that there is sufficient workforce to achieve all the business's objectives.</p> <p>Before ProTech supplies any contract or temporary workers they will work closely with the client to confirm the brief before then identifying the right candidate(s) to fulfil their requirements. Once the right person has started work the worker will submit their hours worked each week to the hirer for authorisation which will be ProTech's authority to pay the worker and bill the client for the hours worked. Whilst the worker is working at a client site they remain under the full supervision and control of the client, meaning that the client is able to best direct them as appropriate to ensure that their workload is covered.</p> <p>The rate paid by the client includes all statutory payments ie employers National Insurance Contributions, Workplace Pension Contributions, Holiday Pay etc, allowing the client to focus primarily on their day-job.</p> <p><strong>When would you use Contract Recruitment services?</strong></p> <p>There are a wide variety of reasons why a company may wish to do so.&nbsp;</p> <p>For instance, a permanent employee who is either highly skilled or very senior could leave the business and in order to replace them long term it may be appropriate to employ a temporary worker whilst looking for the long term replacement. A temporary worker would allow someone fully qualified to take over the role while a retained or contingent search could be undertaken for a new permanent employee.</p> <p>Alternatively, the business may have secured a large project of work and will need additional resource to ensure they can deliver on time.<em>&nbsp;</em>There can also be shifts in demand throughout the year which can impact upon businesses where employing a contract work force can effectively help them manage these periods effectively. For example, during the 2020 pandemic <a href="https://www.pro-tech.co.uk/insights/latest-news/protech-recruitment-ltd-and-smiths-group-plc-combine-in-fight-against-covid-19/">ProTech supplied Smiths Medical with contract workers</a>. SmithsMedical were a part of the <a href="https://www.ventilatorchallengeuk.com/">#VentilatorChallengeUK</a> and as the pandemic worsened considerably over a short amount of time, they were tasked by the UK Government to ramp up production of their patented ventilators to help save the lives of many UK citizens. Due to this requirement, they required a large number of highly skilled workers at short notice and would be unsure exactly how long they would need to maintain production of the ventilators and therefore keep the workers employed. The partnership with ProTech Recruitment allowed them a flow of highly skilled workers to keep up pace with the manufacturing of the ventilators but with the flexibility to increase or decrease their number of contract or temporary workers depending on the flexing circumstances.</p> <p><strong>What are the advantages of contract recruitment?</strong></p> <ul>     <li>Creates a flexible workforce</li>     <li>Contractors can be turned 'on' and 'off' quickly to match fluctuating demand or circumstances unlike permanent employees.</li>     <li>The client is only required to pay for the duration that they have the contractor which can be highly effective if there is a solid understanding on the length and breadth of work.</li>     <li>Allows the client to manage their cash flow effectively over time, in periods of uncertainty or low work they can easily reduce the number of contractors</li>     <li>ProTech can offer full project cycle cover to their clients, from research and development all the way to manufacturing and production</li>     <li>Contractors can bring highly skilled industry expertise</li>     <li>Client will have no increased permanent head count</li> </ul> <p><strong>Why use ProTech for your contract recruitment needs?</strong></p> <p>ProTech have over 30 years of contract recruitment experience and have knowledgeable recruiters with over 100 years combined technical recruitment experience. This amount of time in the market has enabled ProTech to develop a 200,000+ strong candidate pool so we can reach out to candidates immediately to discuss potential openings due to our prior contact with them.</p> <p>Plus, we've worked with some of our clients for over 30 years, demonstrating that not only are we great at what we do, but that we stay on top of changes in the market and in the culture of temporary and contract workers to continue to provide workers effectively for all of our clients.</p> <p>We have two dedicated teams focusing on Engineering and Technical and Life Sciences recruitment with strong and specific industry experience.</p> <p><strong>Taking Away the Admin Burden</strong></p> <p>Workers will simply complete a weekly timesheet, either online or on paper as preferred by the client. The client then confirm that the hours have been worked satisfactorily and from that point onwards ProTech dealing with the entire pay and bill process including making all statutory deductions and payments to HMRC.</p> <p>Our payroll and accounts team is 'in-house', enabling us to provide a personal service to workers and clients, allowing the worker and the client to focus on the work in hand at the client site itself.</p> <p><strong>What do I do if I think I may require a contractor?</strong></p> <p>Simply give us a call or contact us via the 'Speak to our Experts' button at the top of our website site. Our helpful and knowledgeable recruiters can talk you through the entire process and give you an understanding of how everything operates and answer any concerns that you might have. We look forward to hearing from you.</p> <p>PS Don't just take our word for it - <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=protech+recruitment&rlz=1C1WPZA_enGB887GB887&oq=protech+recruitment+&aqs=chrome..69i57j35i39j46i175i199i512j0i512l2j69i61l3.8108j0j9&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8">view our Google Reviews page</a> to see feedback from both candidate and clients.</p>

<p><strong>How does Retained Search differ from other types of Recruitment such as Contingent?</strong></p> <p>Retained Search (also known as executive search or headhunting) differs from contingent recruitment in that the recruiter focuses specifically on the role they are recruiting for in exchange for exclusivity with the client.</p> <p>With contingent recruitment a client may have utilised the services of several different recruitment agencies to look for the most suitable candidates. While on the face of it, this might lead you to believe that the client will end up with more candidates and therefore a larger recruitment pool, this doesn't always necessarily follow.</p> <p>Recruiters working on a contingent basis know that they are in competition with other recruiters and if they know that a client has employed several agencies for their recruitment campaign then the recruiter is disincentivised to them to treat the vacancy as a high priority. In these circumstances it is possible for recruiters to commit a lot of effort to search for the perfect candidate but have another agency make a placement in the meantime. The opposition may not have taken the time and effort required to complete a proper screening process and may 'win' simply by being fastest due to them cutting corners in the process. Why should that matter to the hirer? Well it may not, but don't expect much (if any) loyalty back from the recruiter and it will certainly be difficult to build a great working relationship over the long-term.</p> <p>Retained search creates an entirely different dynamic; it really is a partnership between the hirer and the recruiter. They work together to find the best candidate to fill their open roles. The hirer gives the recruitment agency exclusivity over the search for the candidate(s) and in return, the recruitment consultancy dedicates specific time and effort into the search for the ideal candidate for the client's vacancy.</p> <p>Quite often retained search is used when a role is hard to fill or requires a specific skill set or when a level of trust and high quality of service has been built up between the company and the recruitment consultancy and they want to build on and enhance that relationship and essentially contract out their recruitment hiring process to a specialist consultancy.</p> <p>Ultimately, retained search can often be about seeking out those candidates that aren't currently actively looking for work and attracting them into a new opportunity that they may not have considered otherwise. This is something that a dedicated retained specialist recruitment consultancy can do well, and provides the very best people available to meet the client's expectations.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>What do ProTech offer as their Retained Search?</strong></p> <p>ProTech can offer a full executive retained search service. This is a tailored service for hirers to find the most suitable people for the key roles they are recruiting for. The hiring company are provided a Project Manager by ProTech as their own personal 'one-to-one recruiter' to liaise with throughout the selection, interviewing, offer and on-boarding process. Together with a team of dedicated researchers, your ProTech Project Manager will dedicate exclusive specific blocks of time to working the role and working hard to uncover the talent needed to satisfy the clients' needs.</p> <p>The client is given weekly progress updates with an exact overview of how the search for their candidates is progressing. They are provided a progress report showing all the different candidates contacted, with information on how each has been progressed so far. This includes candidates that have been ruled out of the search, those that are pending and those currently of interest. Notes are provided next to all candidates with the reasons why they are excluded/included in the search to provide detailed feedback and information to the client.</p> <p>Over time the Project Manager will also provide market information based upon the feedback received from all potential candidates spoken to. This might include a review of the job description, or a re-focus could be suggested to ensure that the right candidate is found for the role. ProTech may be able to offer the hirer advice or information regarding why the search is not working as expected and suggest changes that could make the role more attractive to candidates. Perhaps the salary isn&rsquo;t quite at the market rate, rival companies are offering better conditions, or the location of the business requires more incentive for a candidate to relocate. It could also be because the job requires a very specific skillset which is not commonly available.</p> <p>The Project Manager will be able to review this data and provide the client with a summary on the search for their candidate and offer tailored advice specific to them.</p> <p>Ultimately at ProTech, we know the market, so we will only accept a retained search where our expertise can ensure the best results.</p> <p>And we are honest. If we can't deliver, we'll have a straight up conversation on the weekly call with the client and inform them of the reasons why. The watchword is transparency all the way through with the client and working together as a team towards the end goal. If the hirer would like us to steer in a different direction, they can tell us that, just as much as we would tell them. Everything is about ensuring the optimum effort for the optimum candidate and ultimately the client receives 100% commitment from ProTech because we know we are getting 100% commitment from them.</p> <p>In any retained search that we undertake, ProTech are relentless in our approach. If a potential candidate could be a perfect match, then repeated attempts will be made to contact them through different channels to then ultimately rule them in or out of the process. Literally no stone will be left unturned in our executive search.</p> <p>Also, ProTech are only paid for the work that we do, so if half way through the process the client decides that they would like to take a different direction or use a different consultancy then payment is only made for the work undertaken to that stage.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Why should I use ProTech for an Retained Search?</strong></p> <p>ProTech can deal with all the applications and advertise the job through the clients own name rather than our own, or it can be done completely confidentially. ProTech will then field all of the calls and emails and other message channels, qualify all of the candidates, get together a shortlist before sending the absolute best candidates through to the client to recommend for interview. Essentially, we can look after every facet of the hiring process for the client from start to completion, leaving the client to focus purely on the interview process and deciding which candidate will be a great fit for them.</p> <p>ProTech can be flexible to the clients requirements. It may well be that a highly skilled person leaves your business and needs to be immediately replaced due to importance, but that the long term hire to replace them needs&nbsp;&nbsp;to be absolutely right. In these circumstances it could be that ProTech provide a replacement staff member on a contract basis who can competently perform the role, while undertaking an executive search for their long term replacement.</p> <p>When ProTech are engaged on a retained search we are laser focused and ruthlessly efficient in meeting the expectations of our clients. If you have a &lsquo;hard to fill&rsquo; role and believe that our retained search option may work for your hire, then speak to one of our experts now about how we can help solve your recruitment nightmare.</p>

Find your dream candidate

When working together with ProTech, you can always count on a service that will provide you with a considered, quality outcome.

<p><strong>What is a Sole Agency arrangement?</strong></p> <p>This is where a recruitment agency can handle all the aspects of recruiting for a specific vacancy or agreed period of time. Companies benefit from being able to hand over the entire resourcing process knowing there is complete control over all aspects.</p> <p>Often you will see on adverts the note that the "recruitment for this opportunity is being handled on an exclusive basis by <em>recruitment agency</em> and any third party applications will be forwarded through to them".</p> <p><strong>What are the Advantages of going Sole Agency for recruitment?</strong></p> <p>An agency that is dedicated to your vacancy will prioritise filling it and spend longer hours working on it because they know they will collect a fee for doing this successfully. In addition to this, you&rsquo;ll have one agency contact who will take the time to understand exactly what you are looking for and to take the time to understand what you require so they can find the ideal candidate for your company.</p> <p>Sole agency also allows your business to not worry over which agency sent which candidate and when in order to settle agency disputes. Strong candidates are so hard to find in the current market so often agencies are working with the same people which can cause your company to receive duplicate CVs with consequent risk of dispute.</p> <p>If you are engaging with a recruitment agency on a sole agency basis, then they will spend time producing more marketing material to help you entice the right candidates.&nbsp;</p> <p>Another benefit is that you'll be able to speak honestly and frankly about the entire short list of CV's that are provided without any conflict or back and forth with multiple agencies.</p> <p><strong>How can going Sole Agency help with competition?</strong></p> <p>When you are exclusive to the recruiter, then they are exclusive to you. On the other hand, when you hire multiple recruiters, you run the risk of them presenting quality candidates to multiple firms at once. Many of them will be your competition and engaging in a bidding war for talent is never ideal.</p> <p>If you want to recruit from direct competitors, an exclusive recruiter has a better chance than multiple contingent ones. It takes time and dedication to reach all the candidates and who will be more willing to do the hard yards?</p> <p>One big recruitment myth is that recruiters will work harder when they know they&rsquo;ve been pitted against each other and are in competition. This just isn't true - why would they commit and work harder when you're effectively telling them they only have a small portion of <em>your </em>commitment? A sole recruiter lends their full commitment and it'll be much easier and beneficial to form a close working relationship with them. This will mean they can gain a deeper understanding of the requirements of the position and what you're looking for in both hard and soft skills.</p> <p><strong>How can going sole agency help with your brand image?</strong></p> <p>Put simply, if top talent are approached by multiple agencies for the same job, they may assume that the company isn't committed and they may even be put off entirely. Exclusivity in recruitment is often the key to unlocking exclusive talent. A firm that excels in head-hunting, networking and analysing their databases will be dedicated to seeking out the very best for you - and your commitment to the partnership will ensure you see a return on investment that's well worth it.</p> <p><strong>How can going sole agency save your company time?</strong></p> <p>Exclusivity lends itself to quality over speed from the recruiters point of view and also saves the client time in the sense that they only have one expert recruiter to deal with. This means that in an exclusive arrangement, your business will save time on multiple meetings and emails with different firms. More time provides an environment more suitable for detailed interviews, thorough skills assessments and deep-dives into experience, attitude and aptitude. All of these facets will lead to ensuring the candidate is the right fit for your company.</p> <p><strong>Why should you engage sole agency with ProTech Recruitment?</strong></p> <p>ProTech Recruitment are incredibly adept at operating under a sole agency arrangement and can walk you through every stage as you liaise with your own recruitment expert with us throughout. With an average of a 6 years tenure for all of our team members, our team has the experience and the know how to take on all roles no matter what your requirements.</p>
