Any advertising is much more effective if the response is processed as quickly as possible to set up interview dates or attendance at a recruitment event. This will maximise your recruitment budget and reduce your costs.
Whether the response is to a stand-alone advert or one directed at a recruitment event, all calls need to be handled immediately and we have a dedicated in-house team to provide this service. Vital can design an effective telephone interview, and manage assessment/interview dates. Vital will provide management information (MI) to show media source, response breakdown and conversions.
We also operate as a Managed Agency and a Neutral Vendor. Under this process we manage all the recruitment for our clients and in addition look after all their respective agencies. Many companies find that they spend too much time speaking to multiple agencies instead of getting on with their intended work. One solution is to consider a Managed Agency alternative.

The new model we offer provides you minimum disruption and a tangible control on the quality and costs of your recruitment processes.
We have a team dedicated to delivering innovative online assessments that add value to business goals. Everything we do is tailored to your business strategies and objectives.
All assessments are tailored to the specific needs of your business, and certification solutions to a host of blue-chip clients allow them to make informed decisions based on accurate business intelligence.
We have a team of professional designers and media buyers who specialise in recruitment advertising and can advise on a media selection and design strategy. Media will be selected based on geographical coverage, circulation, readership and whether the publications are paid for as these generally attract a better response. To strengthen geographical coverage, national newspapers, specialist press and web advertising can also be used. Production of flyers, posters, brochures and leaflets to assist with your recruitment process may also be recommended.
From advertising or agency-selected candidates, Vital will interview and book potential recruits into arranged slots based on strict selection criteria which have been agreed in advance with the client. Organisation, attendance and management of the interview day can all be arranged by Vital, and management information (MI) will be provided after the event.
Vital Solutions provides a focal point for all applications. One point of contact (Vital Account Manager) will handle all parts of the recruitment process. This could include:
Assistance in selection of partner agencies
Decision-making on best business practice, including fees, SLAs, screening process, presentation formats, expectations, arrangements for agency briefing, recording and monitoring of agency performance, and the supply of management information.
Recruitment events have proved in the past to expedite the recruitment process and increase candidate commitment. They promote an informal, relaxed environment in which candidates have the opportunity to speak directly with managers to find out more information regarding available positions within recruiting companies.
The advertising and management of the event itself is an excellent opportunity to raise your company profile, promote your company to potential employees and to enhance the candidate experience. This approach to recruitment increases the number of placements from advertisements, maximising your recruitment budget and reducing cost per head.
Vital Solutions can organise a tailored service to manage your event from choosing appropriate venues, booking strategic advertising and media placement, to referencing candidates at offer stage. Ultimately, placements/offers are the most important element of this process, and we have experienced great success with recruitment events across many industry sectors.
Vital Solutions has an overseas engineering jobs and resource management capability.
We have been providing recruitment services in overseas engineering for over 20 years, and have extensive worldwide technical and engineering recruitment contacts. We have experience of supplying all levels of international jobs in engineering, technical, safety and project management to clients in the Far East, Middle East, Europe, Africa, the USA, Canada and Australia. Whether your requirement is for a single engineer or a full project team, we have the experience, people and systems to ensure that your international engineering recruitment needs are met effectively.
Whether you are seeking a permanent member of staff or somebody on a short-term contract, we can find you suitably-qualified candidates who meet your criteria. We have an extensive database of over 65,000 potential recruits, and work very closely with core candidates with ‘scarce skills’ making sure we react swiftly to your requirements.
Vital Solutions supports clients by deploying site-based consultants to undertake administration roles which save clients time to focus on their core activities.
Businesses often succeed based on teamwork, and introducing a new member of staff to an established group is a calculated bit worthwhile risk. We limit the risk exposure by offering to take both work and personal references going back 10-15 years enabling the client to have a clear picture of each applicant’s background and capabilities.
We introduce candidates to our clients based on their transferrable skills from other industries. These skills vary and are not always job specific. For example:
Innate skills are what we typically think of as personality traits. These might include dependability, organisation, honesty and friendliness.
Transferable skills are those that transfer readily from one job to another. These might include written and verbal communication, management ability, negotiation skills, problem solving, and competence in meeting deadlines.
Job-specific skills are those considered particular to an occupation. These include things like using specific software applications, computer programming, or operating machinery.
Vital Solutions can provide a bespoke answer to your volume recruitment needs, regardless of the type of position or industry sector. This solution can include a combination of search and selection, advertising, recruitment events (open days), ad response management and reference chasing.
