e3insight
e3insight provides an in-depth review of one of the most critical business challenges—recruiting and retaining people. It can get a little overwhelming with all the solutions available today, and many organisations are simply unsure whether they should handle it in-house or outsource, how to be proactive and how to reduce the cost of recruiting.
Partnering with an external company enables the lid to be taken off the business, so to speak. We review the internal processes and policies around HR and recruitment and engage with all levels within the organisation - it’s like getting the shop in order before you open the doors.
Once we have gained this invaluable insight into ‘business as usual’ we identify feasible, credible and affordable solutions to achieve strategic goals. We ensure that client organisations understand the value that first-class HR management can provide to transform the business and to move ahead of the competition.
What do we do?
e3insight is designed for flexibility and is customised to specific needs and objectives, but typically includes the following steps and generally takes between four and six weeks:
- Initial meeting with project sponsor to agree objectives and timescales
- Agree communication strategy to business and implement
- Individual meetings with selected hiring managers
- Individual meetings with HR and recruitment team members
- Individual meetings with employees at the ‘coal face’
- Interactive workshops with a mix of the above people
- Training needs analysis of all involved in recruitment process
- Gathering of statistical data ie: spend, time to hire, interviews to hire
- Brown paper exercises to review current and suggest future processes
- Online surveys with recent leavers and recent joiners
- Focus groups with target candidate market to assess the employer brand
- Mystery shopping recruitment agencies
- Mystery shopping candidate experience
- Competitor analysis
- Industry benchmarking
- Presentation of findings and recommendations to relevant stakeholders
How does it work?
Industry Viewpoint: A discussion with the senior team to explore how better resourcing can help achieve business objectives and strategies.
Discovery: Interacting with and involving all levels of staff across the organisation. This collaborative analysis of the current recruitment processes identifies the best opportunities for improvement. We look to unleash insights and to allow the group to contribute to the success of the opportunity presented. We are highly respectful of the expertise and intelligence that already exists and we are looking to generate excitement and innovation very quickly.
Solution Design: Recommendations for best practices and solutions, including a return on investment analysis and a highly detailed implementation plan.
Informed Decisions: We help organisations make informed decisions around their HR strategy and implement common sense solutions. Our methodology means we do not have any predetermined answers - we simply have the experience and knowledge required to give expert advice.
What are the outcomes?
- Creating a common objective for successful recruitment.
- Maximising the energy of the organisation by building alignment and agreement among internal teams, stakeholders, departments and divisions, and externally through suppliers, partners and intermediaries.
- Establishing clear criteria for all ‘decision-making’. Understanding the problems and devising the objectives, considering alternatives and opportunities and then prioritising and balancing against the businesses capability and capacity.
- Building a Road Map for success. Identifying the systems, processes and structures that may be missing or not working efficiently to achieve the new objectives for the business. Building the timelines.
