Sir Digby Jones – Director General of the CBI
“To ensure future prosperity, we should
aim to increase the 2.5 – 2.75% trend rate
of growth over the longer term, by
increasing the productive capacity
of the economy.”
“To deliver such growth, over the course of the
next Parliament we will require our productivity to
rise relative to our key international competitors,
in order to close the productivity gap with France,
Germany and the US.”

MIGRANT WORKERS CONTRIBUTE
TO UK’s WEALTH
"Most people know the huge contribution that
immigrants have made to our country.”
"Migrants are part of the rich fabric of our nation,
every bit as British and valued as any other member
of our society." - Tony Blair PM
"If it was not for immigrant labour,
especially in leisure, in tourism,
in agriculture, in construction,
then frankly many of our
businesses would not have
the workers we need.”

Industrial Growth in Lithuania
Fall in growth caused by the
Russian Economic Crisis
(Russia was its main customer)
Manufacturing output in the UK rose by only 0.2 per cent in 2003
The European Advantage
• Increased Productivity
• Increase in Profitability
“For every one per cent increase in immigration
there was a corresponding 1.5 per cent increase
in national wealth.”
Sir Digby Jones Director General of the CBI
‘Immigrants have a proven track record of
creating wealth wherever they go - and it isn't all
down to hard work.
Global markets have a constant thirst for new
ideas, new products, new recipes, new ways of
doing things.’
Immigrants bring new ideas and working practices
into the workplace, creatively adding more to their
working environment than their job demands.
Work Ethic
The former Soviet States believed work to be
CENTRAL to their existence.
To not work or to be lazy was seen as being of
no use or value to a society which had high
ideals to achieve.
People who didn’t work hard were shunned by
society.
Work Ethic
Although Soviet politics ultimately failed, it left
a wealth of labour in its wake …

Outsourcing to Agencies
Internal Recruitment
Staff Referrals

Since Recruitment is considered to be a
major expenditure by most companies …
… mistakes can be very costly!
Problems with Candidate selected:
• Unsuitability of the candidate
• Poor aptitude
• ‘Can do / won’t do’ - (inflexible)
• Sickness & General Poor Health
The cost:
• Employer time wasted in the recruitment process
(job descriptions, advertising, interviewing)
• Employer’s/supervisor’s time spent on induction and training
• Lower productivity as the recruit learns the task
• Employer’s time spent in terminating the employment
• Employer/supervisor time spent in catching up on work left
undone or mishandled by the unsatisfactory recruit
• Round two recruitment costs.
Avoid making the wrong decision
Most small business employers are not trained in Human
Resource procedures.
The process can be time and resource expensive.
If it becomes too overwhelming a task, there is a danger of
‘giving someone a go’ just to get the process over and
done with or of withdrawing from the process altogether.
Advantages of using our services
Savings on time spent:
• Placing Advertisements
• Wading through CV’s

Outsourcing
Recruitment Consultants:
• Can take too long to source a Candidate
• Poorly screen applicants - (suitability)
• Don’t listen enough to Client concerns
• Mismatch Candidates (suitability)
• Spam companies with CV’s - (relevancy)
‘throw enough mud and some is bound to stick’
… experience the difference.
Internal Recruitment
•
Limits the number of potential applicants
•
External candidates might be better suited
and/or qualified for the job
•
Another vacancy will be created that has to be
filled
•
Business may become resistant to change; by
recruiting from outside, new perspectives and
attitudes may be imported.
Staff Referrals - drawbacks
Honeymooning
etc.)
-
lost productivity because of
familiarity (chatting
Added difficulties if dismissal proves necessary.
Where candidates are family members, family
issues can interfere with performance.
Advertising
Success limited by the availability of local labour.
Your advertisement may be one amongst many.
Mistakes in the construction of an advertisement
can be counter-productive.
Word of Mouth
‘Hit & Miss’ - cannot be relied upon to
produce results quickly.
Limited Choice – dependent on availability
of local labour.
Jobcentre
Low unemployment – limits choice
‘Back to Work’ schemes put pressure on Job Centres to
perform – employers time wasted interviewing unsuitable
candidates.
Candidates with a poor attitude towards work may be
unwittingly selected.
‘Malingerers’ taken off incapacity benefit are now being
forced to take jobs they don’t want.
Online Recruitment
Most Candidates who register online are
either looking for more money, a higher
position, or are dissatisfied with their
current employer!
