Personnel Consultants Ltd
. We are a Human Resource consultancy, which supports organisations in all aspects of their management of their people.
Our aim is to provide you with practical, personal and cost-effective advice for all your HR issues, from the beginning to the end of the employment relationship, and everything in between.
We do not operate a call centre, and we aim to get to know you personally and the way in which you run your business, so that we can better understand your HR needs and offer individual and targeted support. We can visit you at your premises, and you can call us whenever you need to, and know the person you are speaking to.
As a retained client, you can relax knowing that whatever people-issues crop up in your organisation, you can call us to talk them through. An up-front fee at the beginning of the year gives you access to our Consultants at any time. Included in the fee, we will review (or produce) your Statements of Main Terms and Conditions of Employment (“contracts”), and a Staff Handbook. We will also provide advice and guidance on the huge amount of employment legislation you are expected to deal with every year. It’s like having a HR Director on your staff, but at a fraction of the cost.
