At Shire & Wold Staffing we understand the increasing demand for high quality, experienced staff in the private household and luxury hospitality sector throughout the UK countryside. You may be wondering, what makes a countryside recruitment agency better than a London recruitment agency? Well, we are here to tell you…
Countryside recruitment agencies (such as us!) specialise in recruiting staff for rural and private estates and luxury hospitality venues, which means they understand the unique demands and dynamics of these environments. They are also more likely to have a network of candidates with relevant experience in similar settings.
By offering tailored recruitment services an agency can increase their chances of adopting a personalised approach to someone’s needs. This helps to build better relationships with clients and candidates, narrow down their search, and find specific talent. Agencies that offer bespoke services can provide a higher level of service, take the time to understand specific needs and ensure a better match between the household and staff.
Countryside recruitment agencies often have a better understanding of the local job market, including specific industries and employer needs, this is a big advantage to clients and candidates that are living in rural areas.
Recruitment agencies that specialise in a specific sector will prioritise their customers. Providing more personalised attention to clients and candidates, offering support and guidance throughout the job search process.
For clients located in rural areas, means being closer and more accessible for on-site visits, assessments and consultations. This can lead to a more efficient and effective recruitment process.
Having a high level of discretion and confidentiality is crucial for clients seeking to maintain privacy and security. Agencies that offer bespoke services have a more in-depth understanding of the reasons behind this and therefore will often have higher levels of security.
Often, you’ll find staff placed by a bespoke agency will have higher retention rates due to the understanding of the clients’ requirements and candidates being more familiar with, and committed to, the rural lifestyle and job duties.
Unlike bigger agencies that often offer generic training, recruitment agencies that offer bespoke services can provide highly personalised training programs. These programs are tailored to the specific needs and preferences of each job role, ensuring that staff are not only skilled but also aligned with the lifestyle and expectations within the private household or luxury hospitality sector.
