RESPONSE HANDLING

Aqumen Ltd has a dedicated National Response Department; this provides a range of services from initial candidate attraction; management of recruitment campaign responses; through to telephone interviewing and organisation of national assessment centres.

Our service has been developed through experience, liaison with established customers and lessons learned through the operational management of our own contact centre. We can offer support on major one off recruitment campaigns as well as smaller on going requirements allowing you to outsource as much or as little of the recruitment process as you wish, thus tailoring our service to support your in house resources.

Aqumen Response Management team builds detailed management information on each campaign undertaken so as to track the success rate of individual advertising mediums. We feel that this information is crucial in order to build on the success of any campaign and increase both quality and quantity of candidates.

Aqumen Response Management also has a bank of experienced Assessors, Interviewers and Managers to support the response handling team and Assessment process.

The shift from the conventional, well-staffed personnel department to a smaller, advisory-based human resource management service has meant that volume recruitment campaigns have become increasingly difficult to handle in house. The administrative burden of dealing with an avalanche of applications can be a very daunting prospect, particularly where resources are limited, thus the increasing need to outsource the initial aspect of a recruitment campaign.
