If your HR Team is tight for time, here's how we could help to lighten the load.
I have spoken with a number of HR professionals recently whose teams have been through a reduction in numbers to cope financially with the effects of the pandemic - but the workload has remained the same or even increased, as it is HR that support the rest of the business in times of uncertainty and change.
It is very common now for teams to have key members out of the business for the 14-day self-isolation period if they have been in contact with Covid-19 or are suffering with symptoms.
More and more people are having to self-isolate and are unable to work productively from home due to illness, childcare or family responsibilities.
Would your team benefit from someone with the right skill set, just to take up the slack and plough through some of the work to free up your time to deal with more pressing matters in the coming weeks and months?
Solution: Temporary HR Support
Whilst I appreciate taking on new starters in permanent positions is not high on most business's agendas currently, the work still needs to be done and I have a number of immediately available candidates that would be happy to come in and help you out, short term.
It may be for a week; it may be a month, but you could be benefiting from an extra pair of hands as of tomorrow!
Our candidates are fully referenced and immediately available to start a new role. We manage payroll and timesheets and you get someone to support your team who is fully aware of what you need from them.
We can even ask them to record a short introduction video using a new platform that we have invested in, to send to you along with their CV.
This allows you to get an insight into the person behind the CV, see their personality and have them explain in their own words what they are capable of, without having to take time out of your day to actually meet them. You can also share the videos with other decision makers if necessary, without having to sync diaries.
For some positions such as HR Assistants or Administrators, this could eliminate the need for interviews whilst still securing confidence in the process.
For other more complex positions, it can help with short-listing and generally speed up the hiring process.
If your team are already up against deadlines and struggling to get through the workload, minimising time and stress is key.
So, if you need support, short term (or long term!), please get in touch today.
