We want to help businesses to get recruitment right and candidates to be treated with the respect they deserve. We formed the Cleeve Partnership because we firmly believe that the future of UK plc resides in the success of smaller high growth businesses and the people they employ.

Unfortunately, modern recruitment practices have evolved in such a way to create some significant impediments to growth. From your hiring strategy, to the breadth of talent you reach, to the amount you are spending, to how your candidates are treated.

People are your most important resource. There is a much better way of finding them. We have looked individually at all of the problems we see and come up with a solution to address all of them.

The systemic failure of the recruiting industry can be ‘hidden’ but they are real. Businesses will be paying for them in some way.

The hidden but real pitfalls of current recruitment practices:

Emphasis on technical fit

this is no predictor of workplace success. Almost 50% of hires leave within 18 months due to poor cultural fit. Cultural fit is critical.

Inexperience

the barriers to entry in recruitment are low. There are many untrained and inexperienced recruiters. Yet these are the gatekeepers to your future talent.

Limiting your talent pool

posting to job boards that are AI-driven, accesses only active jobseekers. The best talent is often hidden and needs to be found.

No emphasis on quality

the majority of firms/ individuals are sales-led, driven by commissions and KPIs instead of talent quality and longer term cultural fit.

Expensive

the commission-based pricing model has not changed in 50 years. It is unjustifiably expensive and is no incentive to secure the best candidate – just any candidate.

Hope

hope is not a strategy. You have to compete for talent. They will not just find you.

change this.
