repeatedly and roles that are hard to fill.
Leverage technology to help identifying the right people
with the right skills and experience for your business.
Use these tools to build Talent pools of prospective
employees with the right technical fit but also the right
cultural and performance fit for your business.
Engage
Once we’ve identified the right prospective candidates,
with the right skills and experience for your company
we get to know them. We don’t treat a talent pool as a
database, we consider them a community.
We respect their time, personalise our messages, listen
to understand what is relevant to them, stay visible and
accessible so that we are top of mind for when the time
is right for their next move.
Your company might not be right for them today, they
might not be right for you but the prospective employee
doesn’t know what your company is planning in 6
months time, by working in partnership with you, we do.

Talent Acquisition Programme (TAP)
Remit Resources
Finding the right technical people is hard. In
a recent survey CEO’s at 73% of companies
with fewer than 1,000 employees, and 88%
at larger companies claim that an IT talent
shortage in one or more areas is one of the
major challenges facing their businesses.*
If we accept that business has changed, we accept
that there is a real shortage of technical talent and
that competition for that talent has never been greater,
the way in which we recruit these people must also
change.
This is why we developed the Talent Acquisition
Programme (TAP)
Identify
Don’t wait until you have a vacancy, hiring great people
is the key to having a great business and leaving hiring
decisions until the last minute doesn’t make sense.
We work with you to identify in advance the key people
profiles, skills and competencies that your business

Recruit
When the time is right, our role is to make sure you have
a selection of the best talent for each and every vacancy.
We work in partnership with both our clients and
candidates and are focused on finding the right matches
for both.
Our focus is on accessing talent that isn’t readily
available in the market and we have a unique framework
to do this. There are of course times when advertising
and database search is appropriate, we have access to
all of the UK’s premium channels.
Our role is to make sure the candidate arrives at an
interview , fully prepared and open to hearing about our
clients opportunities.
Retain
We work hard to build close relationships with both our
clients and candidates. The process doesn’t stop the day we
make a placement, we’re in this business for the long term.
Once you have found the right person, the key is keeping
them and we work closely with you to make that happen.
This process starts early, and we believe that by
listening to and understanding the wants and needs of
both our clients and candidates we have developed a
proven strategy that works which involves identifying
the right people in the first instance and then a regular
programme of contact.
We understand why people move jobs and we understand
the early triggers that identify this. By working in long-
term partnership we can head these issues off.

Active v Passive Candidates
If we look at the UK workplace today around 25% of
people are actively looking for work, we call them “active
candidates”. They’re sending out their CV and applying
for jobs. This is who most recruiters and direct hiring
campaigns target.

Active - Thinker - Explorer - Super Passive

That leaves around 75% of working professionals who
are considered to be passive candidates, but don’t
let the title fool you. In reality a large proportion of
these, typically 60% are open to hearing about new job
opportunities. We make these people our focus, we’ve
found that the best people often are not actively looking
to move jobs and they usually make a better fit for our
clients.

Case Study

Nick Hoare – Head of IT for Affinity Sutton,
I manage the IT support and Infrastructure
environments for the business and its 1500
users.
What do you like most about working with Remit
Resources?
They are a company that provide me with a valued
service and take the pain away from dealing with
numerous agencies as they have placed a number of
quality candidates. The staff that have been recruited
via Remit have remained loyal to Affinity Sutton and this
is very important in terms of investing in training and
developing staff.
What were your perceptions about working with a
recruitment company before we started?
I have dealt with numerous recruitment agencies over the
years and have always disliked the hard sell, cold calling
approach. I much rather deal with agencies that have
been recommended or I have personally approached. In
my dealings with Remit Resources not once have I felt
the need to fend them off as the relationship has always
been about me approaching them when I have a need.
How has that perception changed?
In terms of the industry in general, not really but as I’ve
said previously I don’t have that issue with Remit.
What are the three biggest benefits of working with
Remit Resources?
1. Through working together an understanding of the
business and also my needs has been built up.
2. Interest. By this I mean interested in us and what
we do and recommending candidates that they
believe would be suitable for the business instead of
recommending every candidate on their books.
3. Honesty. If they haven’t got suitable candidates they
are not afraid to say so.
Would you recommend Remit Resources?
Yes and I have.

Case Study
Remit Resources
Simon Purser - Head of IT Development and
Support at Moat Housing Group.
What do you like most about working with Remit
Resources?
From a candidate point of view I found Remit to be an
extremely honest and knowledgeable Recruiter. They
gained a good understanding of my needs and provided
a discreet service at all times. They did not waste my
time by trying to steer me into roles that were unsuitable,
or sending me loads of irrelevant job specifications. They
identified that a work environment and culture is just as
important as financial gain and put me in touch with an
employer that matched my requirements perfectly.
What were your perceptions about working with a
recruitment company before we started?
I’ve spent too many days speaking to consultants that
had ‘talked at me’, ‘spoke over me’ or not returned my
calls. Many are too focused on filling the roles they have,
regardless of suitability of the candidate.
How has that perception changed?
I have been really impressed with the service I received
from Remit Resources. I have always been fairly
sceptical of Recruitment consultants but RR were
knowledgeable and kept in touch through the whole
process. The role that they found me is a perfect fit and I
couldn’t endorse their services enough.
What are the three biggest benefits of working with
Remit Resources?
1. Follows up and communicates well throughout the
recruitment process
2. Ability to identify the work environment and culture
3. A very professional approach and detailed knowledge
and understanding of their area of business
Would you recommend Remit Resources?
Thank you very much for all your help in assisting in my
job search. I was very impressed with your approach and
thank you very much for all your advice and assistance. I
will not hesitate in using you again in the future and have
already recommended you to many of my contacts.
