We Work Harder, Smarter and More Efficiently

Like most recruitment businesses, we like to think we work harder than others to meet our customers’ needs. However, we also like to think we work smarter and have more cost and efficiency saving solutions to make working with Central Recruitment more viable and cost effective.

CV Database, Jobs boards, advertising & social media

We have a comprehensive candidate attraction strategy designed to deliver the best candidates to our customers, which incorporates: our internal CV database, national jobs boards, advertising and social media profiles.

Our candidate attraction strategy together with our candidate ‘skills matching’ processes deliver appropriate and quality candidates for even the hardest to fill vacancies.

Our Recruitment Team

We have worked in the sector for over 25 years, we therefore have an in-depth knowledge of the skills, experience and values that support workers need to work successfully to promote service user involvement and independence. Through our quality vetting process, we develop a profile for each of our candidates, which is made visible to our customers via their on-line portal.

Clear, Simple and Transparent Charging Structure

When we agree rates and charges with our customers, we provide a full breakdown of what you will be charged per hour, including: worker’s pay, employer’s NI, holiday pay (WTR), pension costs, our commission and VAT. We also offer you a number of ways to reduce your costs through our CentralAlliance model and on-line self-management tools.

In addition, all charges, timesheet data, invoices and related reporting are visible on the customer portal on CentralAxis.
