Interim Recruitment; How Can It Help You?

/in

With more job openings than available professionals, finding a suitable candidate can be a challenging task. Whether you lead a small or large enterprise, attracting the right professionals can make the difference between growth and stagnation. An effective way to quickly and efficiently find the right professionals is by using interim recruitment.

What is Interim Recruitment?

Interim recruitment involves hiring temporary recruiters to fill specific roles or projects within an organization. These recruiters become part of the company for a predetermined period.

With their specific expertise and industry knowledge, they are responsible for finding and selecting suitable candidates for open positions. They ensure that these candidates can start working quickly and efficiently.

How Can Interim Recruitment Help Your Business?

Interim recruitment is frequently used by companies that need (additional) assistance in filling job vacancies. Below are some reasons why interim recruitment can help you find the right professionals:

Faster Filling of Open Vacancies

Interim recruiters are experts in finding the right professionals. They have extensive networks and access to a wide range of professionals who match your requirements. This allows them to find, interview, and propose suitable candidates much faster and more efficiently.

Flexibility

Hiring interim professionals provides you with the flexibility to respond quickly to changing needs and start projects without hiring new employees. Interim employees can be deployed swiftly, and the collaboration ends when the predetermined period or project is completed.

Cost Savings

Interim recruitment can be cost-effective for your business because you only pay for the time the professional works, without additional costs for vacations, sick leave, or other benefits.

Expertise

Interim professionals usually have a wide range of experience and expertise gained from various industries and companies, or they may be highly specialized in a certain niche. This makes them highly qualified and able to contribute quickly to your organization. Moreover, interim professionals are accustomed to integrating quickly into new teams and projects, enabling them to start working promptly.

Reduced Risks

Hiring interim professionals can reduce risks for your business. The responsibility for the professional lies with the interim recruitment agency, not your company itself. This reduces potential liabilities and gives you peace of mind when hiring temporary staff.

In summary, interim recruitment can be an effective way to find the right professionals for your business. It offers flexibility, cost-effectiveness, expertise, and reduces risks. If you are looking for the right professionals for your organization, consider using interim recruitment as a way to quickly and efficiently find the right candidates.

What is secondment?

/in

As a manager, you often have multiple options to add specialists to your team, and secondment is one of these possibilities. By employing this method of finding professionals, you quickly bring specific expertise in-house to achieve your goals. In this blog, you will learn what secondment is and the advantages it offers, both for clients and professionals.

How does secondment work?

Secondment refers to the temporary hiring of professionals from a third party. In many cases, this third party is a company specialized in one or more fields and operates as a secondment agency. This company, also known as the lending agency, becomes the employer of the professional.

The client, also known as the borrowing agency, is the organization where the professional carries out a temporary assignment. The duration of the assignment depends on the length of the project the professional is working on.

Throughout the project, the professional works under the client’s supervision while remaining employed by the secondment agency.

What are the benefits of secondment?

One of the main advantages of secondment is that professionals are often available for deployment at short notice. This makes it an effective way to quickly fill job vacancies, ensuring your department remains agile, scalable, and able to perform at its best.

What are the best benefits for clients?

-Rapid fulfillment of temporary resource needs

-No employer’s risk

-Assurance of both flexibility and quality

-Additional support for temporary or long-term projects

-Access to specific knowledge and skills at hand

-Temporary coverage during leaves of absence

-Secondment creates new insights

What are the benefits for professionals?

-Income security even when not actively working on a project

-Gaining extensive and rapid experience

-Constant exposure to new challenges

-Building a large network

-Freedom to choose assignments that align with personal preferences

-Working in new environments leads to new insights

The ideal job description for freelancers

/in ,

Especially now, with a tight job market, it is crucial to write a strong and eye-catching job description. But how can you ensure that your job offer stands out and attracts the right freelance professionals? We provide some guidelines to create an appealing job description that excites freelancers.

Earlier this year, Freelance.nl conducted a survey among 2,500 freelancers, asking them about the key elements they consider in a job description. This article describes four crucial aspects that freelancers evaluate to determine if an assignment is interesting to them or not.

The assignment

It may sound obvious, but a clear description of the tasks and a detailed overview of the assignment are considered indispensable by freelancers. In practice, however, these aspects are often not clearly defined or are described very briefly. With limited information, freelancers find it challenging to assess whether they can deliver the desired results. They also need to know what is expected of them and what knowledge or skills they should possess.

Alongside a comprehensive description of the assignment, providing information about the organization or department is crucial. Create a clear image of the organization, its corporate culture, and the team. Freelancers appreciate knowing the work environment they will be entering.

Include all practical details in the job description. Be explicit about the number of working hours and the workplace. Especially concerning the location, respondents expressed the desire for clear information. Therefore, specify the city where the workplace is located and mention the possibilities for remote or hybrid work.

The offer

According to Freelance.nl’s research, over 80% of the surveyed freelancers consider a concrete hourly rate highly important. Mentioning a ‘market conform’ rate is even perceived negatively by many freelancers. They take the offer into account when deciding whether to respond to the job offer or not.

Feedback

Don’t forget to describe the follow-up steps after freelancers have responded to the assignment. The research indicates that over 75% of all freelancers expect feedback within 3 business days. Some even anticipate a response within 24 hours, even if it’s just a confirmation that their application is being considered.

Especially during times of a tight job market, it’s crucial to provide prompt feedback, even if there have been delays in the process. This demonstrates the organization’s commitment and transparency. Additionally, professionals might have applied for multiple assignments. Delaying feedback may result in the risk of losing an available freelancer.

Text format

When freelancers search for a new assignment, they start by scanning the job description. Within seconds, they decide whether the assignment is interesting enough to read further. The proper formatting of the text is therefore essential.

Ensure that the text is easy to read, using short sentences, headings, bullet points, and paragraphs. This makes the text organized and easy to scan. Use a writing style that aligns with the organization, showing its identity and setting it apart.

Always conclude the text with a clear ‘call to action’. With this paragraph, you prompt the reader to respond to the job offer. Clearly indicate who the contact person is for inquiries and how to reach them.

What is Recruitment Consultancy?

/in

Finding the right talent is a crucial factor for the success of any business. However, it can be a time-consuming and complex task to find and select suitable candidates. This is where recruitment consultancy comes into play. In this blog, we explain what recruitment consultancy is and how it can help you find the best professionals for your team.

How does recruitment consultancy work?

Recruitment consultancy is a service where a recruitment consultant is hired. This can be based on interim recruitment or Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO). A recruiter or a team of recruiters assists in finding and selecting suitable candidates for specific vacancies within a company.

Benefits of recruitment consultancy

Finding the right professional for a particular role can be challenging. It can take a lot of time and resources to find, screen, and interview suitable candidates. Outsourcing the process can alleviate many concerns and costs. Let’s highlight the advantages of recruitment consultancy.

Cost-saving

Recruitment consultancy can be cost-effective. Each request is assessed to determine the best-suited support. By providing tailored solutions, unnecessary costs can be avoided. It can also help minimize expenses associated with hiring the wrong professional.

Time-saving

Recruitment consultancy helps save time. Finding and selecting suitable candidates is a time-consuming task. By outsourcing these activities, there is more time available to focus on other tasks.

Expertise

Recruitment consultants possess extensive knowledge and expertise in the field of recruitment and the market. They assist businesses in finding the right professional for a specific role and provide valuable advice on recruitment strategies.

Access to a larger network

By utilizing external recruitment consultants, you gain access to a newer and larger network of candidates. This can help find suitable candidates who might not be available otherwise.

Reduction of risks

Recruitment consultants have experience in screening and interviewing candidates and can help select the best candidate for the position, minimizing the risks of hiring the wrong professional.

Interim recruitment or RPO at G-Nius

Our recruiters can handle individual vacancies or the entire recruitment process. Together with our clients, we determine which form of recruitment aligns with their expectations.

Interim recruitment

Interim recruitment is an essential part of the HR process and is often used by companies that require flexibility and speed in filling vacancies.

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)

Our specialists understand what is needed to optimize the recruitment process. They delve into the company culture and identify areas for improvement within the process.

Tips for hiring managers in times of labor market tightness

/in ,

The current record tightness in the labor market is not news. We also experience the difficulty of finding suitable professionals. For hiring managers, it must be even more challenging to keep up with the developments in the labor market. As a result, they often don’t know how to respond to the tightness. Therefore, we provide some guidelines to fill open roles as quickly as possible.

In our fields of expertise, we often see department managers also responsible for the selection process of new employees. This makes sense because these professionals will join their teams.

Since selecting suitable professionals is not their core task, we offer the following tips to help them with this process.

1.Act swiftly

With the current labor market tightness, recruiters work hard to find, engage, and retain suitable professionals. Fortunately, most hiring managers respond quickly to this and schedule introductory meetings.

Unfortunately, it also happens frequently that, after extensive and intensive search efforts, it takes a long time to receive a response. This is very frustrating, not only for us but also for the professional and the client.

In a tight market, professionals are approached from all sides. By acting swiftly and keeping the application process short, you prevent a suitable professional from receiving another offer and becoming unavailable.

2. A match is more than just a resume

You won’t find a suitable professional by solely focusing on a resume. On paper, someone may have a lot of knowledge and experience, but can they also communicate and apply this knowledge? Conversely, someone may lack knowledge and experience but be highly motivated and a quick learner.

Whether someone is suitable for a role can be discovered by looking at professionals with an open mind. Engage in a conversation to see if someone fits the role and the organization.

3. Think in opportunities

In a market where professionals have many options, it’s time for employers to think in terms of opportunities. Why should you only look for the “unicorn” candidate with all the desired traits? Why not give a candidate with potential a chance to further develop? Let them grow, both personally and professionally, and develop that “unicorn” candidate yourself.

4. Seek advice

Are you a hiring manager struggling to find suitable professionals for your team? Our Business Managers can assist you. They are up-to-date with the latest developments in the labor market.

They will assess your needs and requirements, creating the ideal profile for a professional. This profile becomes the basis for our recruiters. With this approach, they provide you with tailored advice. As a hiring manager, this gives you a realistic view of the market and increases the chances of finding the right professional.

Contract-to-hire, the term that is becoming more common

/in

These days, we see a growing number of temporary employment agencies, staffing agencies, and recruitment firms using the contract-to-hire construction. What does this construction entail, and what are the benefits?

What does it stand for?

In a contract-to-hire construction, also known as a “secondment agreement with takeover,” a professional starts working at the client company for a pre-agreed secondment period. After this period, the client has the option to hire the professional without incurring additional costs. This means that you have ample opportunity to get to know the skills and abilities of the professional before making a long-term commitment.

What are the benefits?

Working with the contract-to-hire construction offers several advantages:

For the client company, the benefits include:

-Clear agreements in advance about the takeover period and associated costs (also known as a fee).

-No employer’s risks during the secondment period before the takeover.

-An additional influx of new professionals without the need for continuous searching.

-More time to evaluate the professional during the secondment period.

-Lower recruitment costs.

For the professional, the benefits include:

-Knowing in advance the path from being seconded to obtaining a permanent position.

-Comprehensive guidance and support from G-Nius during the secondment period, including personal and professional development assistance where necessary.

The difference between IT recruitment and IT secondment

/in

When you, as a manager, are looking for a specialist for your department, you can find and deploy them in various ways. How you do this depends on your needs. IT recruitment and IT secondment can help you with this. In this blog, we explain what best suits your search.

What is IT recruitment?

With IT recruitment, you outsource the entire recruitment and selection process to an external agency. The agency will look for professionals who match your wishes and needs. For this, they select the most suitable professionals, and the client can then make a choice from this. When the client and the professional are both enthusiastic and agree to each other’s conditions, the professional will be employed by the client.

Why choose IT recruitment?

IT recruitment has many advantages for both clients and professionals. Finding new staff can be quite a search and can cost you as a client a lot of time, work, and money. Even for a professional, it can be quite a task to find the right employer.

Outsourcing the entire process can be a good solution to make this process easier. After all, a specialized agency has the knowledge, experience, and network to quickly find a suitable professional for a client. They know how to follow the right paths to achieve quick results. In a market where there is a lot of scarcity, such as the IT sector, this can save a lot of time and costs.

What is IT secondment?

With IT secondment, a client temporarily hires professionals from a secondment agency. The duration of the deployment depends on the duration of the project on which the specialist is working. During this period, the professional remains employed by the IT secondment agency.

Why choose IT secondment?

Secondment has many advantages. One of the most important is that you quickly acquire your specific knowledge by hiring professionals. These specialists are often available at short notice and can provide support and resolve outstanding issues. This way, your IT department will not come under pressure.

In an earlier blog about IT secondment, we described how secondment works and what the benefits are for clients. If you want to know more about secondment, you can read more here.

Is IT recruitment or IT secondment right for me?

Whether you are looking for a professional for a temporary project, or if you are looking for a professional who will become a permanent part of your organization, determines whether secondment or recruitment is the right solution for you. Do you still have doubts about recruitment and secondment? Maybe a seco-fixed construction is something for you.

The benefits of IT secondment for employers

/in

You are looking for IT professionals who can (temporarily) strengthen your department. You find it important that these professionals are quickly available and can achieve measurable results in the short term. IT secondment offers you these possibilities. But there are even more benefits of IT secondment for employers.

Benefits of IT secondment

One of the biggest advantages of hiring specialists through IT secondment is that they can often be deployed at short notice. Secondment is therefore an effective way to quickly fill in an open issue. With this you can always let your IT department perform to the maximum and continuity is guaranteed.

Secondment is an ideal solution for short or long-term projects to temporarily bring in professionals with specific knowledge. When you work with a secondment agency that specializes in IT secondment, such as G-Nius, you make use of their network. With this network and their knowledge and experience, they quickly find the right specialists who perfectly match your wishes.

Another great advantage of secondment is that interim professionals are quickly used to a new working environment. They are flexible and adapt quickly. This saves time. In addition, as outsiders, they have a fresh perspective that can provide new insights.

It is good to know that professionals who are seconded remain employed by the secondment agency. As an employer, they also run the employer’s risk, such as continued payment of wages in the event of illness or severance pay in the event of dismissal.

The benefits of IT secondment for employers:

– Quick fulfillment of temporary resource needs.

– Certainty of flexibility and quality.

– Extra support for temporary or long-term projects.

– Less financial risk.

– Temporary replacement during leave.

– Secondment creates new insights.

What is IT seco-fixed?

/in

Finding suitable professionals can be a difficult task. IT professionals are scarce, so finding the perfect match is often a time-consuming process.

In addition, investing in new professionals costs time and money. It is therefore important that specialists who join the team are a perfect match with the organization. With IT- seco-fixed, clients can bind qualified IT professionals for a longer period after a predetermined period of secondment. This guarantees the quality of an IT department.

How does seco-fixed work

We speak of a seco-fixed construction when a professional is seconded for a predetermined period. After this period, the client is given the opportunity to take over the professional.

The professional will therefore leave the employment of the secondment agency after the secondment period and enter the employment of the client.

This construction has two important advantages for clients, namely; no long-term commitments at the start and the professional can be assessed over a longer period of time.

Advantages of IT seco-fixed

– Fast filling of vacancies.
– Less employer risk.
– Continuity within the department.
– The right match.
– Lower recruitment costs.
– Possibility of free takeover of a professional.

IT seco-fixed at G-Nius

When a client is looking for reinforcements for a department, G-Nius can support in making the perfect match.

We offer clients a committed approach to finding qualified IT personnel. An important element of our working method is therefore also a fixed point of contact for every client. One of our business managers will personally guide the entire process so that the right match can be made.

We always start our collaboration with an extensive introductory meeting. During this meeting, the business manager maps out all the wishes of the client. In addition to the requested ‘hard criteria’ such as knowledge and experience, we are also curious about the ‘soft criteria’ such as personal and social skills that are expected of the professional. Only in this way can we present a professional who not only meets all job requirements but who is also a good match with the team and the company of our client.

After we have a clear picture of the wishes and expectations, we look for IT professionals who perfectly match the requested criteria. We always strive for the perfect match. That is why we only propose the best profiles. When all parties are enthusiastic, the professional can start.

During the entire secondment period, we maintain regular contact with our clients to evaluate progress. We also keep in touch with our professionals. This gives us the ability to provide further support when needed.

As a secondment agency, G-Nius is a company that offers customization. We do this by fully adapting our service to the wishes of the client. Are you curious about the possibilities we can offer for your company? Please contact us via info@g-nius.nl or call +31 (0)73 610 14 69.
