Recommendation

I asked Karen to completely run a recruitment project for my business as I was too busy. I am so impressed with her organisational skills, efficiency and total professionalism throughout. She has done everything, kept me informed all the way and has saved me time and money plus I got the ideal candidate. Highly recommend her services.

I just want to thank Karen so much for helping me get my business back on track and for getting to the bottom of what I needed to help my business move forward. She had the amazing ability to help and advise me in the most positive, warm and supportive manner.

Background

As a Head Teacher I led and conducted the recruitment process with staff at all levels throughout the organisation.

Busy Lives! can be responsible for the publicity and administrative work concerning recruitment of staff. This includes:

  • Management of the sequence of dates for the advert, closing date, shortlisting and interview with the placement of adverts.
  • managing application requests and responses.

  • redrafting interview and reference letters.
  • Preparation of interview timings, questions and tasks.
  • arrangement of suitable rooms for tasks and the interview.
  • collation of application packs for the interview panel and chasing references as necessary.

For business, it may be just one aspect of recruitment or implementing the whole process for / alongside clients. The businesses within this case study demonstrate just this.
