Adept Supports Apprentice ProgrammeIn today's tough economic climate, there is a real shortage of employment opportunities and vital workplace experience for young people. Recognising the need to offer support, Adept has sponsored a Business Administration Apprentice, through Hartlepool College of Further Education. A warm welcome to the team Stephanie!
Contract RenewalAdept is delighted to announce the renewal of our engagement by Pearson-Harper. We are proud to continue our partnership with such a genuinely positive, innovative and progressive company.
The Adept Way – guiding you in the right direction
To help guide and to make life easier for you, we have separated our support and services into four main categories:
Sometimes it can be hard to know where to start when it comes to filling vacancies and recruiting the right people to take your business forward. We can get under the skin of your organisation by getting to know you and the issues you face.
We also move beyond the limitations of the conventional job description, CV and checklist of competencies. We look at the bigger picture. The broader talents that could add even greater value to your business.
By letting us take an objective look at what you do, our highly consultative approach enables us to understand what you’re looking to achieve and pinpoint the skills you need - now and for the future. What’s more we can then take care of the entire process from start to finish, either as a one-off contingency project or on a more cost effective, long term retained basis.
Finding exceptional talent calls for an exceptional approach to recruitment. This is particularly important when you need to find outstanding individuals with certain skills.
If you are looking to headhunt a new director, senior manager or executive with niche skills in specific areas, we can provide a professional, proactive and targeted approach to sourcing and securing the best talent out there.
Whilst we can manage the entire recruitment project from start to finish under Adept Consult, our flexible and cost effective RP+ model enables you to outsource a wide range of recruitment processes to us, in order to enhance and strengthen your current, in-house recruitment capabilities. This means that you can dip into a single area of support and expertise, as and when you need it. This could include:
• Evaluating and developing your in-house recruitment methodology
• Defining and evaluating job descriptions and person profiles
• Creating, supporting and managing ‘candidate attraction campaigns’
• Issuing and co-ordinating application forms
• Receiving, screening and short listing volume applications
• Conducting competency based interviews and supporting interview panels
• Co-ordinating assessment days, interviews and induction training
• Managing, negotiating and closing job offers and employment terms
• Issuing and co-ordinating Contacts of Employment
• Conducting and analysing exit interviews
“Our people are our greatest asset”
How often have you heard that phrase? It is so frequently used that it is practically a cliché, yet it is very true. There are very few organisations that can operate without their people.
Because of this, the performance of an organisation can be directly related and attributed to the performance and capabilities of the employees within.
And in an increasingly knowledge based economy, human capital is one of the most valuable assets that a business can recruit, manage, engage, develop and retain.
At Adept, we offer a tailored service that fits with your HR agenda, whilst supporting all strategic recruitment, retention, HR and staff development activities.
We can save you time, money and resources by taking some of your HR activities in-house – enabling you to concentrate on other areas of your business.
