Value added recruitment services across the UK and Ireland.

From establishing the right specification for each job role and candidate profile, to pre-selection screening and shortlisting, our experienced McCarthyHR consultants have solid market knowledge and can work closely with your HR Department at every stage of the recruitment process to ensure success. In addition to our comprehensive recruitment advice, we can also offer you the following additional benefits:

Bespoke Management Reports

With advanced systems in place, we can report back to you on just about anything you require, producing clear, concise reports on website advertising statistics, ratio and success analysis, equal opportunities statistics - and much more.

Regular Progress Reporting
In touch, updated and fully in the know, we understand the importance of good communication. That’s why we discuss and agree with you exactly what you require from the outset, from weekly vacancy coverage reports to monthly top-level statistical analysis.

Market and Competitor Analysis
To help drive your business forward, we can support you with comprehensive overviews of the market and your competitors, including such things as salary surveys and recruitment practices. Plus, we wouldn’t be who we are if we didn’t understand and show the difference we deliver over our competitors.

Individually Designed Retention Packages
For McCarthyHR, the work doesn’t end the moment your offer letter goes to the candidate.  We offer support and advice to our placed candidates, and ensure that any initial new job teething problems are quickly ironed out for you.

Advertising, Design and Copy
Our partnership-approach can extend to helping you market your brand in the best and most effective way possible. We have experience in developing successful recruitment campaigns and can advise when and where to advertise to get the best response. Our detailed marketing strategies can include e-shots and web advertising, in addition to press and magazine advertisements. In all cases, we can help produce creative adverts that really work for you. Find out more in Advertised Assignment.

Salary Surveys
We understand that it is critical for you to adhere to your resourcing and salary budgets, whilst remaining competitive in the marketplace. Your brand Account Manager will be able to talk to you honestly about the packages you off as a brand, and work together to find methods of reward that keep within financial guidelines but add to candidate attraction at the same time.

A Salary Survey gives an overview of a particular sector including, for example,  the scale of salaries commanded and the general trends within the sector, highlighting the skills which are at a premium. The McCarthyHR team would be happy to discuss how we can provide you with such bespoke information for your brand: Call our Head Office on 0161 828 8726.  

Advertising Response Handling
In addition to providing full support throughout your campaign, from booking  space and checking through proofs to reporting on response and statistics, we can also provide a dedicated recruitment co-ordinator for intensive recruitment campaigns. Your designated recruitment co-ordinator helps strengthen your team, bringing vital experience during a store opening, for example, or implementing a change in business strategy.  Furthermore, depending on the size and intensity of your campaign, we can also arrange for a senior recruitment consultant to be seconded out, providing our all the support needed to ensure a successful outcome to the recruitment assignment.

Headhunting
At McCarthyHR, we find that a dual search and selection campaign is always the most successful way to find the right candidate, who is the best fit for your requirements. So, once you brief us on a vacancy, not only do we search our extensive in-house database and utilise our HR referrals network, but we also embark on a discreet headhunt campaign.

When done correctly, headhunting can be a highly successful method of finding candidates who may never have considered your brand or even have been looking for a new role in the first place. However, we understand that we are representing your brand in the HR marketplace, and as such headhunting can be a delicate process to ensure that your vacancies are kept private and confidential.

Headhunting is an excellent way for us to fully explore the relevant market of candidates for you, and a key part of the value added services that you can expect from McCarthyHR.

Retained Services
When you need the entire recruitment process to be handled from start to finish, you can trust McCarthy to act professionally and with complete brand integrity. We work in partnership with you to agree every stage and aspect of the recruitment service, from advertising to the first stage of the interview process.

Equal Opportunities Monitoring

At McCarthy, we’re committed to ensuring that we recruit fairly at all times, supported by our age, diversity and equal opportunities policies.

Campaign Management
We have the capacity to provide a full outsource for all your recruitment requirements, providing everything you need to become your resourcing department.

All our services are used in accordance with your Service Level Agreement - from handling all administration, including offer letters, to advertised selection, database search, discreet search and selection plus a full management reporting package.

Master Vendor Services

Often used in conjunction with Campaign Management, Master Vendor Services includes the management of your PSL. Drawing upon our extensive knowledge, we work in partnership with you, creating a total solution that meets your business needs exactly. Having agreed and set up a supplier list with you, we manage the whole recruitment process, assessing candidates put forward by your preferred suppliers...in addition to candidates from McCarthy.

We've also introduced a number of ways to obtain feedback from both clients and candidates, enabling us to monitor our standards and deliver the service that is needed, wanted and expected.

We’re McCarthy – we couldn’t do it any other way.
