providing sustainable growth
Resourcebank is a leading provider of outsourced recruitment solutions. We work in collaboration with some of the UK's best known companies developing long-term partnerships, providing them with cost effective, tailored solutions to resourcing challenges.
"Finding the best people, matching and retaining the best people for our clients is what we do - and because it's what we do all day, every day, we do it very well indeed. Our clients gain more freedom to focus on other key priorities for their business. It frees them to use their time where it really counts". Richard Pearson, Managing Director.
We work in close partnership with UK and European businesses to attract, retain and develop their most important assets. Our role is as 'recruitment guardians' and we devise recruitment solutions which are applicable on any scale - from 12 to 1200 appointments.
So collaborative is the process that ResourceBank clients often refer to it as 'insourcing' not 'outsourcing' as we seek to enhance our clients' brand reputation throughout the high profile recruitment process.
why ResourceBank?
Recruitment costs reduce dramatically as savings increase due to better retention rates; a faster recruitment process and less downtime.
80% of positions are filled within six weeks, 90% within eight weeks.
A low risk strategy as our fixed costs per head allow for visible ROI and full transparency.
Average retention rates for most companies is 15-30%. ResourceBank clients enjoy a far higher average retention of 60%.
