360-Degree Recruitment Solutions for Small Businesses

We understand that small businesses face unique challenges when it comes to hiring the right talent. Recruiting is time intensive and, when you are a small team, finding the time and space to dedicate to finding a new team member can seem overwhelming. Finding the right people for your team shouldn't be a time-consuming struggle. Our comprehensive recruitment services take the burden off your shoulders, from initial job description creation through to successful onboarding.

At Saltwater HR, we are recruitment experts. With our extensive experience in search and selection, inclusive hiring practices, psychometric testing, assessment centres, and managing recruitment campaigns, we provide a fully managed recruitment process tailored to your needs. Our Fixed Fee Recruitment Services are designed specifically for small clients, providing a straightforward solution that removes the uncertainties and complexities of traditional recruitment processes.

Our Recruitment Process

Strategic Job Design We start by understanding your business needs, company culture, and the specific skills required for success in the role. Our job descriptions are crafted to attract the right candidates while clearly communicating expectations and opportunities.

Multi-Channel Advertising Your vacancy deserves maximum exposure. We post your roles across relevant job boards including Indeed, specialist industry sites, and LinkedIn, ensuring you reach both active job seekers and passive candidates who might be perfect for your business.

Professional Screening and Assessment Every application is carefully reviewed against your specific criteria. We conduct initial telephone screenings, assess technical competencies, and evaluate cultural fit, presenting you with only the most suitable candidates.

Interview Coordination and Support We handle all the logistics of the interview process, from scheduling to providing interview guides and assessment frameworks. Our support ensures you make informed hiring decisions with confidence.

Comprehensive Reference Checking Thorough reference checks are essential for making the right hire. We conduct detailed employment history verification, skills assessment, and character references, providing you with complete peace of mind.

Seamless Onboarding Coordination The recruitment process doesn't end with a job offer. We coordinate the entire onboarding process, ensuring new starters have everything they need for a successful first day and beyond.
