With hundreds of CVs to sift through, interviews to arrange, references to take (and that’s before the candidate turns up for their first shift), finding the right people for your team can often be a minefield.

According to employment law specialists, Croner, the average cost to replace an employee in the UK is approximately £11,000 per head. Therefore, it’s crucial that your recruitment process maximises your chances of long-term success.
