Do you feel like you’ve found your BestFit™?

Often as we climb the corporate ladder we begin to lose sight of what we wanted out of our careers in the first place. It’s important to take some time out to remind yourself of your work values from time to time. If these aren’t being met in your current position, this could be impacting your performance, motivation, job satisfaction, and quality of life. Learning more about yourself allows you to make more informed decisions as to the environment or career in which you will perform best.


The right role doesn’t always have to involve a drastic change, a large risk or even a particularly unusual step. The best person-job-environment fit is possible in the smallest or largest organisation and at the most junior or senior roles.


If you believe your current role is not the ideal fit for you, then it’s time to engage with your local Chandler Macleod team about your next opportunity.

Promoting female leadership does not mean undermining the efforts or positions of others. Instead, it is about fostering an inclusive environment that truly values diversity and equality. When we talk about encouraging female leadership, we’re striving for a balanced representation of a diverse society. Listening to ways to support women in leadership positions is about understanding the systemic barriers they often face, and not an indictment of individual situations.

How outsourcing your hiring process can save you time and money
By Rhiannon Williams 22 Aug, 2023
If you’ve been looking for ways to make the hiring process easier for your business due to finding yourself overwhelmed with the administrative and operational processes associated with hiring and onboarding new employees, outsourcing your recruitment and talent acquisition activities is a great way to streamline your tasks, and save your business both time and money. Here are the ways working with a recruitment agency may benefit your organisation. The benefits of outsourcing recruitment processes In the fast-paced business world of today, businesses are constantly looking for ways to streamline their operations and improve their efficiency. One area where outsourcing operations has become increasingly popular is recruitment processes and talent acquisition. By entrusting this responsibility to a recruitment agency, businesses can benefit from reduced costs, improved quality in talent, and more time to focus on their core business activities and objectives. Outsourcing to a recruitment agency also allows companies to access a larger talent pool due to recruiters being able to leverage their expertise and networks to find the best candidate for the role. Outsourcing recruitment processes and talent acquisition is a smart investment for businesses looking to save time, money, and resources while still being able to attract top talent. How to find the right recruitment agency for your business Finding the right recruitment agency to partner with can be a daunting task. With so many agencies to choose from, it is important to select one that is experienced and reliable. A good recruitment agency will have a clear understanding of your business needs and objectives, and the type of candidate you are trying to attract. The right agency for your business will take the time to get to know you and your company culture and will align with your business values and ethos, which will ultimately allow them to present you with top-quality candidates that go above and beyond your expectations. Don’t be hesitant to ask for case studies and references as this will give you more insight into their success rate and the quality and breadth of services they offer. By partnering with the right recruitment agency for your business, you can trust that you’ll find the best candidate for your business needs, without the stress of taking the process on yourself. Maintaining a relationship with a recruitment agency Continuous monitoring and assessment of the performance of the recruitment agency is pivotal to ensure that the partnership is providing the anticipated results. Evaluating the relationship should be an ongoing effort involving not just reviewing the immediate outcomes such as the quality of candidates, timeliness, and cost-savings for the business, but also looking at the long-term indicators such as employee retention rates and the satisfaction of the hiring manager. Essentially, looking at these metrics will offer insights into whether the recruitment agency has a good understanding of your company’s needs, culture, and expectations. Over time, any patterns or trends that emerge through monitoring these metrics can help you refine your recruitment strategy and provide a more productive relationship with your recruitment agency. Re-evaluating your partnership with a recruitment agency If the recruitment agency your business is working with no longer aligns with your business objectives or simply fails to deliver satisfactory results, it might be time to re-evaluate the business relationship. Before deciding to stop using a recruitment agency, or to change agencies, ensure you communicate your concerns and expectations with your account managers. If performance doesn’t improve, consider looking elsewhere- one ill-fitting relationship with an agency doesn’t mean there isn’t a better fit elsewhere. Look for agencies with a proven track record in your industry, ask about their company culture and values to ensure they align with your own, and get a clear understanding of their candidate screening process to see how they differ from others. Remember, changing agencies can be a significant step towards business objectives, so take the time to make sure that your next choice will be a more effective and beneficial partnership. Looking beyond the hiring processes of a recruitment agency Taking into account the additional services provided by a recruitment agency and its affiliated brands has the potential to add value to your hiring process. For instance, a company may have sister brands specialising in in different areas than what you were initially looking for such as executive staffing, temporary staffing, or different specialist industries, which can greatly broaden your options in the hiring process. Furthermore, some agencies may offer additional services such as onboarding support, HR culturing (not sure what this one is), managed services, business consulting, or technological services that can assist in enhancing your overall recruitment strategy and employee experience. Looking at the full scope of a recruitment agency’s services and the strength of their affiliations can be a significant aspect to consider when choosing a recruitment agency to partner with. There are many benefits to outsourcing your company’s recruitment processes through the right recruitment agency. By considering your business’ needs and establishing a strong relationship with a recruitment agency, your business can benefit from access to a sizeable talent pool and network, and an increased speed for filling open positions. Taking the time to find the right fit for your business, as well as evaluating all of the offerings of the recruitment agency, and their affiliates, and monitoring the progress can ensure not only great results for your hiring strategy, but also benefit your business by saving you time and money.
