Apprenticeship Recruitment Tips Assist PG Legal
A leading North East legal practice were impressed with the services of Business Impact when they needed a rapid solution to finding a new apprentice. PG Legal specialise in practical solutions for legal issues faced by businesses and are one of a few practices that can handle school to academy conversions.
The practice based on the Team Valley in Gateshead wanted to find a great new apprentice office administrator to support the business, but already knew the pitfalls and challenges faced when recruiting at this level. That is where Business Impact stepped in to help, and offered a complete solution from candidate selection through to apprenticeship training and mentoring.
Nick Atkinson, national sales manager for Business Impact explained: ‘For many businesses, and especially professional practices, it is a significant challenge and very time consuming to recruit and develop an apprentice. Each practice has its own specific character and personality, so even choosing candidates can be a major obstacle to success.’
‘At Business Impact we offer a free selection and recruitment process. This immediately places the emphasis on the training provider to do all the preparation and selection of the right candidate, and means we have to really know the business before we start to put candidates forward. This service adds significant value to the overall process. As we get to know the company and then select appropriate candidates for an apprenticeship, we can ensure that the whole process which follows appointment is smooth and much more likely to be successful.’
This was the case for PG Legal and in only one week, the journey from enquiry to interview was completed, with Becky joining the specialist team at PG Legal. For a legal practice, the benefits of a free recruitment service where the consultants took a detailed specification and only put forward 2 very strong candidates, was a huge benefit over the traditional apprenticeship training provider.
Phil Dean from PG Legal commented: ‘ It was the ease of working with Business Impact which made a real difference. We would have struggled to identify candidates so quickly, and finding an apprentice with the right personality, skills and ability to fit in was key to our decision. Business Impact have a unique approach in the sector, and we are looking forward to building an ongoing relationship as Becky completes her apprenticeship with the support and guidance from Business Impact. This end to end service, and with no fee is a really solid proposition for small businesses in the current climate.’
