Strategic Audit
With our strategic recruitment audit we will conduct an independent review of the recruitment model, the methods you adopted to attract and select candidates, and gain expert insight into the effectiveness of your employer brand. The audit focuses on three main areas: people and experience, data, documents and process, and brand and marketing.
We will present a detailed report highlighting how you can increase your return on investment, improve candidate quality and enhance your employer brand. Findings are complemented by a step-by-step improvement plan to convert our recommendations into action.
Development Audit
Our experts will conduct an independent review of your current talent management processes, producing a sequential plan to transform your talent management and development approach. The aim is to drive motivation, engagement, retention, and productivity for all critical business results.
- Your Business Objectives and alignment to people strategy.
- Talent Management processes and policies.
- Your Learning and Development offering.
- The capability of your internal teams.
- Spend, budget and resources.

What’s The Point Of A Recruitment Audit?
Businesses that regularly fail to review their recruitment model are likely to be repeating poor practice, wasting money and alienating candidates. If your business conducts any level of regular recruitment you should be taking the time to understand what works, what doesn’t and how to improve.
