Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

Great news! We have recently secured significant funding from HSBC to allow us to build our UK team with a view to selling our Low Cost Recruitment service on a global scale.
We are looking to have a team of minimum 10 sales professionals who can sell across the world within the next two years and be number one in the market. International expansion could also be on the cards, we are certainly aiming as high as they can.
As you know, we recently launched an innovative recruitment model and have seen interest not just from the UK but also in the Middle East, mainland Europe and the Far East. We have helped businesses fill a wide variety of roles, from warehouse positions all the way to international sales positions, as our strapline says, we can fill any role, anywhere.

Wakefield recruiters m2r are seeking to help local businesses by offering an innovative solution which will save time and potentially money

Having been in Wakefield for over 10 years, m2r aim to develop their local presence by showing companies that they do not have to spend fortunes or rely on ‘the bloke in the pub’ to fill vacancies.

Managing Director Munir Mamujee commented:

“Some time businesses go to the extreme and spend next to nothing on their recruitment. They employ friends, family or someone from the pub. Then they wonder why their business is failing. Others spend fortunes, thinking that using a company in London is the best solution. We want to show both ends of the spectrum that there is an alternative which isn’t free, but is certainly cost effective at less than £500 and will eliminate cold calls, unwanted applications and all associated stress.”

m2r are currently in the process of moving all of their outsourced operations to Wakefield in a bid to show local firms that they do not have to go outside of the ‘merrie city’ to find exceptional companies that will meet and often over exceed their needs.

Low cost recruitment

Friday, July 9th, 2010

After ten years of running m2r I decided to launch a brand new service for our clients in the UK and Middle East. We were getting feedback that although they wanted to continue to use us, recruitment budgets were being cut. So, in Feb I offered a new service to my clients before rolling it our across the company. It worked!

In March we all started selling it, called the m2r Job Board Management Service. Priced at £495 + VAT in the UK and $800 overseas, our clients were delighted that we could offer them an alternative.

So, now in July, we have a dedicated Telesales Department proactively selling this service and we are in negotiation with some rather large companies who are interested.

Fingers crossed!!!

Is a job board better ‘value’ than using a Recruiter?

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

A client and respected business man certainly does not think so. Read below…

In these tough trading times everyone is looking at ways of reducing costs and when you are offered something for free ( Yes I do know the old adage) by the numerous job boards that are around, I was tempted, what was there to lose?

I allocated the responsibility of sifting through the applications to one of my managers with recruitment experience and set up a reply process for those that were not to be invited for interview, we followed the advise given when composing our listing, which we were told would filter applications, ensuring as best a fit as possible, and posted our vacancy.

Response was fairly swift , we received approximately 10 calls a day (from Recruitment agencies offering their services !!) for the first week followed by dozens of applications. Though we were quite specific in the type of person we required ( as you are aware) and had filtered accordingly, not one of the applicants matched even 20% of our requirements.

The use of the jobs board was regretted very quickly and we removed our listing (or I should say attempted to, it took over 3 weeks!) It had tied up 2 members of my team, preventing them from fully carrying out their normal duties and resulted in no interviews.

The experience was far from being “free” and despite being offered the service again on numerous occasions I have not been tempted.

Just a thought, why if the service works would it have to be given away?

{End}

So, if you want to get your vacancies filled quickly, the cheapest route is not always the best.
