Implementing a recruitment PSL

By implementing a PSL, the agencies you engage as your recruitment partners will provide a high quality, service-centric and value-driven recruitment model. Ultimately this can reduce the impact of candidate shortages faced by businesses as the agencies source the right candidate for the role and identify talent pools for future hiring needs.

Suzanne Feeney continues:

“A well managed Recruitment PSL should result in reduced recruitment costs for the business and provide you with a smaller group of recruiters who understand your company, your culture and how to position your employer brand in the marketplace; a key differentiator for recruiting the right people for your company”
