We at |H|P|C believe that there is a vast untapped well of talent out there. However the best people are still freelance, and therefore not available to agencies. This means that agents have to place people with clients who are not always as good as they might be.
We can help to make these people available to you through our own recruitment programme.
While, as a consultancy firm, we are able to engage freelance operators, we make use of this situation to allow consultants to get used to us and for us to get used to them, before finally offering them a permanent position. This means that while on |H|P|C's books, the freelance consultants' skills can be offered through an agency.
Unlike most agencies, we at |H|P|C do not place people on commissions and then leave them to get on with it. With an eye to the quality of work we provide to our own clients, we supervise every commission on our books, with site visits by directors of the firm taking place on at least a weekly basis. This allows us to ensure that the consultant and the client are both happy with the standard of work and with the working conditions.
It also allows us to do something else for which we are rapidly becoming known.
When a single operator is assigned to a commission, he or she may, at some point take a holiday, or fall ill. We keep pre- appointed members of our staff fully up to date with every commission on our books, so that in this event, we can offer a stand in to the client. This provides a seamless operation which can give a great deal of comfort to a client, possibly at a crucial stage in a project.
Of course, as an agent you will be perhaps a little wary of placing what may seem to be a competitor in front of your hard won clients. This is not the case.
We at |H|P|C believe that in the ever-changing world of contract work, it is essential that in order to deliver the best possible service to the client, we must all pull together and look after each other's interests.
To this end, we not only honour your exclusion clauses, we actually enforce them with the consultants on your behalf. Also, in order to maintain our relationship with you, we will voluntarilly extend your exclusion clause as applied to |H|P|C.
In the event of a client approaching |H|P|C during the course of an exclusion period, we would refer them back to you so that no-one loses out as a result of a good job well done.
We at |H|P|C have already reached such an agreement with several large agencies and enjoy an excellent working relationship with them.
If you feel that this is a service of which you would like to take advantage, please do not hesitate to contact us.
