What our clients are saying about us.

By working with Flat Fee Recruiter to advertise their vacancies, our client My New Venture were able to successfully hire three candidates at a fraction of the cost of traditional agencies.

Case Study: My New Venture

My New Venture is a learning platform helping individuals with a new business idea to start, grow and succeed.

What recruitment services did they need?

The team at My New Venture had three roles to fill, and as a newly established business, their potential long-term success was dependent on recruiting these key positions as rapidly as possible.

According to CEO Jovan Maric: “it was crucial to quickly recruit great talent. Investment into the company hadn’t completed at this stage so as well as being time poor, we were also budget poor. We had to get the recruitment of a strong team right first time”

Jovan and the team were also concerned that a lack of experience when it came to screening and interviewing candidates would hinder their ability to secure the best candidates.

As a result, the team at My New Venture opted for a two-pronged approach. They employed the expertise or Recruitment coaching professionals at Ali Waters Associates to design a robust screening and interviewing process, and worked with Flat Fee Recruiter to advertise the jobs.

How did working with Flat Fee Recruiter help fill their vacancies?

Flat Fee Recruiter’s fixed-fee model proved the ideal solution for promoting My New Venture’s roles, as the company didn’t have the budget to pay the percentage fees charged by traditional recruitment agencies.

As with all Flat Fee Recruiter clients, My New Venture were assigned their own dedicated account manager, Tracy Iley, who provided support throughout their recruitment advertising campaign.

As Jovan explains:

“Tracy and her colleagues took time to understand our business and were extremely helpful devising a package that would fit our budget. They critiqued and edited our job ads for maximum impact to ensure we’d attract the best candidates”

Advertising Jobs Online:

Having worked with the Flat Fee Recruiter copywriting team to write and format their adverts for optimal performance, the roles were then promoted online. As Flat Fee Recruiter partners with all the major online job boards, My New Venture were able to advertise on Indeed, Reed, Total Jobs, Monster, CV Library and Gumtree for one fixed price.

Throughout the course of the campaign, the Flat Fee Recruiter support team also proactively sourced candidates by contacting active jobseekers online and inviting them to apply.

Jovan and the team were able to keep track and screen all CVs in one place, using Flat Fee Recruiter’s unique Applicant Tracking System (ATS), making the entire process as simple and time efficient as possible.

Jovan explains: The ATS system “was easy to use and allowed us to be organised and manage all candidate communications in one place”

What were the results of using Flat Fee Recruiter?

By working with Flat Fee Recruiter to promote their job vacancies, My New Venture were able to fill all three roles.

Not only did the team achieve their goal of developing a strong team quickly, they estimate the savings made from the Flat Fee model to be around £20,000*

“Any small business looking to source quality candidates should speak to Flat Fee Recruiter” says Jovan. “They are friendly, helpful and know exactly what they’re doing and will find you good candidates. And fantastic value for money.”

*This is based on the saving made by not being charged the average agency fee of 17.5% of salary.
