Outsource radically & switch to subscription models across the board
June 22, 2023
You don’t make your pasta from scratch with eggs from your own chickens. You probably go to the store to buy your milk (dairy, oat, almond… whatever). And I highly doubt you’d raise a cow just to have a hamburger. That’s how modern life works – we outsource because it’s effective, convenient, and often saves us money.
Outsourcing aspects of your workload means you can turn your focus to the parts of your job that need your particular input. You have the ability to pay attention to the bigger picture as your to-do list becomes more streamlined. Your day-to-day operations will be more efficient as you hand over the tasks that don’t necessarily require your attention.
Many hiring managers have lengthy to-do lists, multiple reports, and not enough hours in the day. And as we know, the construction industry moves quickly, so when employees are in demand, they’re needed on the job in record time. It’s the age-old challenge of needing to find the right people, with the right skills, at the right time.
Think about it… when you don’t have time to cook, you don’t starve; you get a takeaway, right?
But doesn’t outsourcing to experts come with a hefty price tag? Not if you’re using a subscription model…
A subscription model helps you scale when you need it most
Think Netflix but for hiring. Amazon Prime, but for candidates. You’re not paying per VHS tape at Blockbuster like it’s the 90s or forking out a fortune for a courier service like it’s the early 2000s. Instead, you pay a lower monthly fee, and it’s always there when you want it.
This is the way the world is moving, so why wouldn’t we use a subscription model for as many things as possible? Think ahead to the next quarter (or even the following year), with predictable monthly costs and on-demand access, you can maximise expertise AND minimise costs. What could you do with all the money you’d save? Hire more people? Invest in additional benefits? The world is your oyster.
A subscription-based Recruitment Partnership Service model is a fully customised hiring solution that’s significantly cheaper than a contingency recruitment service. It offers a payment schedule that gives you the power of both ultimate flexibility and effective forward planning, helping to predict your hiring needs and budgets. Most (well, the good ones) also include director-level account management, monthly reporting and insights, along with a full review of your hiring, attraction, and retention processes.
