What our clients say
Wolseley UK
"Before implementing Engage, our recruitment was managed locally by each Branch Manager. This meant that processes were inconsistent and difficult to monitor in terms of time, cost and effectiveness.
Implementing Engage has enabled the Resourcing Team to implement a recruitment process which is centrally controlled and can be rolled out on a phased basis across 1800 branches. This central approach has enabled Resourcing to develop a set of KPIs which did not exist before implementation. The approximate cost per hire of £1.5k compares well with the CIPD average of £5k.
Engage has also enabled us to trial different approaches to online advertising and closely monitor the results identifying the most cost effective routes.
Developing effective recruitment systems is not just about technology, it's also about people. peoplesolutions are an integral part of our resourcing team and provide help and advice on process development and guide us towards new and more effective ways of doing things. They are highly flexible in their approach, with fast response times. The strong relationship we have built ensures that our systems continue to develop to meet our ever changing business needs."

Mitchells & Butlers
"The on-line system has heavily contributed to an overall reduction in the cost per hire of our Graduates and is now being considered with a view to managing the recruitment of all pub retail staff from Team Members to Managers.
In previous years we had used an agency to help us with our Graduate Recruitment process. The online system enabled us to manage this entirely 'in House'. Just 2 people are now used to successfully facilitate the recruitment and development of both our Graduate Programmes and recruit in excess of 68 of graduates per annum. As a result, our research would lead us to believe that we have one of the most cost effective Graduate recruitment programmes in the UK"

"The friendly and personal approach of InvestorCom to the development of the web site was a key element in the decision to appoint them as our web site manager. InvestorCom's management of the development phase of the project was excellent with the site being designed and launched in less than 6 weeks. Since launching the site, InvestorCom's ongoing customer service has been first class with all service levels agreements being achieved. When talking to the team at InvestorCom they are always willing to listen and offer invaluable advice on options for putting new content onto the site."
