How Webrecruit helped the leading cash-handling solutions provider save £28,000 in recruitment fees.
The Company
Established over 50 years ago, SUZOHAPP (UK) provides their customers with innovative solutions to make cash-handling as simple and cost-effective as possible.
The Challenge
We caught up with Service Manager, Andy Kershaw, who has complete involvement in the company’s recruitment process. He spoke about one of SUZOHAPP’s biggest recruitment challenges; the costs associated with recruiting through agencies.
We had an issue with agencies. I found them to be really expensive when the results were variable. Advertising roles using offline sources, such as newspapers just wasn’t attracting candidates anymore so I wasn’t really sure what to do.
We’d also just landed a big contract and needed to recruit eight new Service Engineers to allow us to carry it out. However, the agencies I’d spoken to had quoted me about £30,000 for the project, which is obviously a lot of money.”
The Solution
SUZOHAPP’s recruitment requirement happened to coincide with a call from Webrecruit. While Andy had used job boards directly to advertise roles before, he’d never used a company that offered a fixed-fee advertising solution. He decided to take the plunge and purchase an advertising credit.
SUZOHAPP was provided with a web-optimised job advert, extensive coverage across the leading online job boards, CV filtering and exposure to our candidate database. Andy was also given access to our shortlist manager, although he has since upgraded to our Applicant Tracking System, Webrecruit ATS.
The online advertising campaign suited SUZOHAPP’s requirements perfectly as it allowed Andy to hire multiple candidates, without paying any extra fees.
The Results
Using Webrecruit’s fixed-fee advertising solution, SUZOHAPP managed to fill all eight of its engineering vacancies for just over £1,000 – saving the company over £28,000 in recruitment fees.
Not only did you save us thousands of pounds in fees, I also found the quality of candidates and the service to be better than many recruitment agencies that I’ve used previously. Both Account Managers I’ve worked with have been excellent and very professional.”
Andy also noticed a reduction in SUZOHAPP’s time-to-hire and administration since using Webrecruit ATS.
The ATS is great. It saves us so much admin time and is easy-to-use. I know you’re constantly developing it but the system is feature-rich already. It complements your other solutions perfectly.”
Since using Webrecruit’s solutions, SUZOHAPP has gone on to achieve the following:
- Reduced recruitment spend (saving £28,000 on one project alone)
- Shortened time-to-hire
- Reduced recruitment administration using Webrecruit ATS
Final Words
I judge on results. The calibre of candidates I’ve received through you is great so I can’t fault Webrecruit at all. You’ve helped me solve a big problem. It’s not cheap or easy to fill Service Engineer vacancies but you’ve always managed to help me attract great candidates.”
