Recruitment Services — Flexible support at every stage of hiring
Finding the right person for your team is about more than filling a vacancy. It’s about finding someone with the right skills, experience and attitude to succeed in your organisation.
At Positive People, we provide flexible recruitment support tailored to your needs. Whether you need help managing the entire recruitment process, extra support with screening and shortlisting, or assistance with pre-employment checks, we can step in where you need us most.
We work alongside you to make recruitment more efficient, reduce the workload on your team and help you make confident, informed hiring decisions. Our approach is practical, personalised and focused on finding the right fit for both your business and your people.
Full recruitment process
End-to-end recruitment support, tailored to your business.
Recruitment can be time-consuming, particularly when you’re balancing competing priorities. We can manage the entire recruitment process on your behalf, from defining the role through to making an offer.
Working closely with you, we take the time to understand your organisation, team culture and what success looks like in the role. This helps us attract and identify candidates who have the right capabilities and are aligned with your business.
Our full recruitment service can include:
- Defining the role and developing job descriptions and advertisements
- Advising on recruitment strategies and appropriate advertising channels
- Managing applications and candidate communications
- Screening, interviewing and shortlisting candidates
- Coordinating interviews and supporting the selection process
- Completing pre-employment checks and reference checks
- Supporting offer negotiations and employment documentation
Whether you’re recruiting for a single position or several roles, we adapt our approach to suit your requirements, timelines and budget.
Partial recruitment – screening and shortlisting
You manage the process. We help you find the right people.
Already advertising a vacancy or managing recruitment internally? You may not need a full recruitment service. We can provide targeted support with the parts of the process that take the most time or require additional expertise.
We can review applications, assess candidates against your selection criteria, conduct initial screening conversations and develop a shortlist of suitable applicants for you to consider.
This gives your team more time to focus on other priorities while ensuring candidates are assessed consistently and objectively. We can also help refine selection criteria, identify potential gaps in applications and provide practical advice to support your decision-making.
Our involvement is flexible. We can take care of one specific stage or provide support across several stages, depending on your internal capability and capacity.
Pre-employment checks and candidate screening
Greater confidence in your hiring decisions.
The right recruitment decision involves more than a strong CV and a positive interview. Appropriate pre-employment checks can help you verify information, assess suitability and identify potential risks before making an offer.
We can coordinate a range of checks tailored to the role and your organisation’s requirements, including:
- Reference checks: Verifying employment history, experience, performance and suitability through relevant referees.
- Ministry of Justice (MOJ) checks: Criminal record checks where appropriate, with the candidate’s informed consent.
- Psychometric testing: Assessing relevant capabilities, work preferences or behavioural tendencies to support selection decisions.
- Social media screening: Reviewing relevant, publicly available information where appropriate and lawful.
- Other pre-employment checks: Helping coordinate qualifications, identity, work eligibility and other role-specific verification.
We take a considered approach to candidate screening, ensuring checks are relevant to the role, handled appropriately and used alongside other assessment information.
Flexible recruitment support that works for you
Every organisation recruits differently. Whether you need a complete recruitment solution or assistance with just one part of the process, Positive People can provide the support you need, when you need it.
