Managed Programmes
With the intensifying competition for STEM talent, it’s critical that companies adopt innovative strategies and solutions to identify, attract and retain permanent and contract staff. These solutions must enable greater flexibility and access to high-quality candidates, talent pool depth and reach, process compliance, and efficiency savings.
Each RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing) and MSP (Managed Service Programme) is designed to align with our clients’ specific challenges and objectives throughout the UK and internationally.
STR will deliver to you the workforce required and manage it in a cost-effective, timely and compliant manner.
International Recruitment
We recruit from the UK into international markets, mobilise labour between international locations, provide permanent relocation from one country to another, and help clients with international bases source labour in their locality.
Our robust international recruitment process was developed to ensure compliant candidate registration and screening and includes the use of in-country payroll partners to ensure adherence to local taxes and regulations. Right to work, visa and work permit administration, plus candidate orientation and accommodation services ensure we mitigate your international recruitment challenges while providing you with the peace of mind of a fully compliant recruitment service.
Exclusive Projects
An STR Group Exclusive Project programme involves the essential aspects required in attracting top talent to your business: campaign establishment, client induction and requirement scope, market research and talent identification, EVP communication and candidate attraction.
Our dedicated Talent Specialists and Researchers deliver quality candidates via stringent interview processes, whilst promoting our customer’s brand and providing positive candidate experiences. All our Exclusive Projects are headed by our Group Sales Director who ensures delivery to an agreed timeline and service level.
Statement of Work
Our SOW solutions allow the outsourcing of complex project activities to a dedicated and scalable project team, removing the disruption from core staff. Under an SOW solution, our team consults to clarify the project requirement, objectives, deliverables and timelines.
An SOW solution comprises a B2B Framework Services Agreement with a concise SOW schedule for each project undertaken or consultant engaged thereafter and are delivered under a fixed-price model.
Contingent Services
Engineering and Manufacturing work can often be project-based and the volume can ebb and flow, therefore firms often need a flexible workforce, as well as the highest calibre of permanent talent to bring into your business for the long term. STR Group’s brands and their consultants who specialise in niche STEM verticals can provide a solution, whether you’re seeking contractors, fixed-term or permanent staff.
Retained Search
There are occasions when a position is of such critical importance, is confidential to the business, or simply requires a very niche and scarce skillset. This is where a more proactive, comprehensive and confidential approach may be necessary to deliver true market insights and the ideal candidate within the timeframe that your business requires.
Under one of our Retained Search Programmes, our team consults the client’s key stakeholders to define their exact business requirement. We ensure we identify the highest quality of talent to provide our clients with the type of candidates that will help drive their organisation’s revenue and success.
