About
Agencies have a role to play in most hiring strategies. The problem is that without clear structure and accountability, that role tends to expand beyond what is needed, cost more than it should, and deliver less than it could.
Businesses that have grown quickly often find themselves with a large, unmanaged supplier list, inconsistent quality across the role’s agencies fill, and very little visibility of what they are actually getting for their spend.
This service brings clarity, control, and commercial discipline to your external recruitment relationships. I review how you currently use agencies, which suppliers are genuinely adding value, where you are paying over the odds, and where direct sourcing could replace agency spend without compromising on quality. I then help you build a framework that puts you firmly in control.
WHAT THIS COVERS
• Supplier audit and performance review
• Spend analysis and fee benchmarking
• PSL design or rationalisation
• Terms, briefing standards, and accountability frameworks
• Direct sourcing opportunities and channel strategy
• Governance and ongoing supplier management approach
The result is a cleaner, more cost-effective approach to external recruitment. You keep the agencies that genuinely deliver, manage them on your terms, and stop paying for relationships that are not working.
