For any business, permanent recruitment can be an expensive and lengthy process. There are direct costs, such as advertising, which cannot guarantee a suitable pool of applicants, but often forgotten are the indirect costs, such as:
- Time spent researching most appropriate method of advertising
- Time spent short listing candidates
- Arranging interviews with applicants
- Occupational testing (if you have the facility)
- Replying to unsuccessful candidates
In a labour market with diminishing skill groups, organisations looking for highly skilled employees, can incur even greater costs having to search further a field.
Using Qubic for your permanent recruitment eliminates all of these costs. You only pay an agreed fee on the placement of a successful candidate. You will also have a larger pool of candidates from which to choose. Qubic is attractive to potential out of area candidates as we pay for all the travel and accommodation involved in attending interviews.
This is carried out using exactly the same process as permanent recruitment, but offers you the ability to test a new employee before committing to offering them a permanent contract.
Qubic can supply short-term or long-term temporary workers.
Organisations may need to use temporary workers on a short-term basis for the following:
- Vacancy cover
- Project work
- Emergency replacement (sickness, holiday or maternity cover)
- Seasonal peaks
Qubic has a database of registered candidates allowing us to respond immediately to your needs.
One of the largest financial costs for any business is labour and associated expenditure. Many organisations have benefited from using long-term temporary employees through Qubic.
Direct savings that can be made are significant and include:
- Pension contributions
- Redundancy payments
- Sickness payments
- Reduced overtime payments to permanent staff members
Savings on indirect costs can be considerably more:
- Recruitment (advertising, interviewing, administration)
- Human Resources administration
- Induction training
- Payroll administration
- Disciplinary administration and meetings
Further benefits of using long-term temporary staff through Qubic include:
- Flexibility to adjust the headcount on a daily basis
- Retaining core skills during low business volume
- Provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- Free training
- Free Health and Safety advice (Qubic has a qualified team of Health and Safety advisors)
