Recruitment & Human Resources FAQ
Can't our administrator or managers handle recruitment?
Recruitment isn’t just another task, it’s a specialist skillset building on years of training and experience, while also requiring knowledge of the current job market and recruitment tools. A skilled recruiter ensures critical steps, like candidate attraction, selection and assessment, are executed flawlessly.
What industries do you specialise in for recruitment and HR services?
We have experience across various industries and specialise in sourcing permanent management and other key roles. Our approach is adaptable, ensuring success in any sector.
We're already doing everything we can to keep employees happy
You might be doing great, but how do you know without measuring it? And how do you assess changes over time? The Rightstaff brings staff engagement tools and insights to help you understand employee satisfaction better, ensuring you’re always on the right track.
Why would we need external input for our People/HR management?
Because you don’t have a dedicated professional on your team, living and breathing everything employment, and keeping up with latest developments in employment and related legislation. Get to know us and enjoy having a trusted HR partner in your business.
Are Personality Profiles reliable?
There are many different profiles, and several of these have shown good reliability. However, some cheap or free online tests can be unreliable or even misleading. Our Behavioural Profiling Tool, Extended DISC, from HR Profiling Solutions, undergoes regular validation testing and has proven astonishingly accurate over 20+years.
What makes DISC profiling workshops effective?
Our DISC workshops are not one-size-fits-all. They’re tailored to address your team’s specific dynamics, improving communication, collaboration, and overall engagement. Participants say they enjoy the workshops a great lot and they leave with actionable insights that improve their productivity and cooperation with clients, colleagues and managers.
