The ability to recruit the right people at the right time is vital if your tech startup/ scaleup is to realise its growth ambitions. When you need to hire, you’ve got a couple of options (we’ve taken doing it yourself off the table as you’ve hopefully realised this isn’t a good use of your time).
Your first option is to use a recruitment agency. If you’ve done so before, you’re likely to have had a mixed experience at best (our opinion is that the traditional agency ‘No win, no fee’ contingency model is seriously flawed).
Your second option is to hire an internal recruiter. This may be a good tactic if you’re hiring for 10-15 vacancies per annum over the next couple of years, but otherwise it’s simply not going to be cost effective. This is because you’ll not only need to cover their salary and associated employment costs but also a plethora of recruitment tools/ resources; you'll be staggered to learn the cost of a LinkedIn recruiter licence alone.
But there is another option.
Novus 8 exists to provide tech/ digital startups and scaleups which are typically looking to make 1-10 hires per year, with an effective and affordable recruitment solution. We fully understand what small tech businesses are about and instinctively know the type of person who will not only fit in, but thrive within a startup/ scale up.
We provide a fractional recruitment service to tech organisations which agree that the traditional agency model does not work but whose hiring needs do not justify an internal recruitment function.
We strongly believe the best recruitment outcomes can only be achieved by truly partnering with an organisation, so with this in mind, our objective is to become part of your team. We want to get to know your business and the key individuals you employ. We want to dive deep and understand your objectives and what makes your business tick.
In return, we’ll provide you with an experienced and dedicated recruiter, along with all the tools and resources they need. They’ll begin finding talent straight away, freeing you up to run your business.
You’re likely to want to use us on a pay-as-you-go basis until you get to know and trust us. We get that. However, once we have established a working relationship and especially if you anticipate hiring for multiple vacancies, we’d encourage you to consider our RaaS (Recruitment-as-a-Service) model which enables you to spread the cost of your recruitment and achieve significant cost savings.
