Recruitment support
Recruitment administration, handled by a dedicated support professional.
Recruiters spend a significant share of their week on database management, CV processing, interview coordination, candidate follow-ups and general administration — time that isn't spent with candidates or clients. Northbridge takes on these functions so your desk can focus on placements.
The problem
Administration competes with the work that brings in revenue.
Every hour spent formatting a CV, chasing a compliance document or updating a candidate record is an hour not spent sourcing candidates, speaking to clients or progressing a placement. On a busy desk, this administrative load builds up quickly — and it's rarely the reason someone joined recruitment in the first place.
Typically time-consuming
- — Formatting and reformatting CVs to a client-ready standard
- — Keeping the CRM and candidate database accurate and current
- — Coordinating interview diaries across candidates and clients
- — Chasing references, right-to-work documents and compliance paperwork
- — Posting and refreshing job adverts across multiple boards
