Recruitment in the UK can feel confusing if you do not do it every day. Thousands of employers Google the same hiring questions each month because they want clearer answers and better results. At Ad Talent we see these questions come up all the time so we created a simple guide to help you understand what each one means and how to fix the issues behind them.
If you want to hire well without wasting time or money this guide explains how to get results that actually work.
1. How do I recruit the right candidates
Hiring the right person is not luck. It starts with a strong advert, wide visibility and a smooth candidate journey.
Most employers struggle because of unclear adverts, limited job board reach or slow communication.
What works best.
A detailed and honest advert.
Posting across several job boards.
Responding quickly to good applicants.
How Ad Talent helps.
We write your advert for you and make sure it is clear, structured and optimised for performance. Your job is then posted across a wide network of top job boards which gives you access to far more suitable candidates. Better clarity plus better reach equals better hires.
2. What is the most cost effective way to recruit
This question dominates UK search trends because recruitment costs are unpredictable for many businesses.
The most cost effective hiring method uses a combination of wide job board coverage, expert advert writing and a fixed pricing model so you know exactly what you are spending.
How Ad Talent helps.
Our flat fee recruitment model keeps costs controlled while giving you premium visibility. You get one advert, posted everywhere you need, with unlimited hires included. You never pay extra per applicant or per platform which makes your hiring budget simple to manage.
3. Where should I post my job to get the best applicants
There is no single best job board in the UK. Job seekers split themselves across many platforms so you need a multi board approach.
How Ad Talent helps.
Your advert is posted to Indeed, Totaljobs, Reed, CV Library, Guardian Jobs, Jobsite, Google Jobs, major aggregators and social channels. This gives you nationwide coverage and a steady flow of quality applicants from different sources. You do not have to choose one platform over another because we give you the full mix.
4. How long does recruitment take in the UK
Most roles take two to six weeks to fill although senior roles can take longer. The biggest delays usually come from slow shortlisting, unclear communication or lack of structure.
How Ad Talent helps.
We monitor your campaign every day, highlight strong candidates and keep the process moving. Faster responses prevent candidate drop off and improve the quality of the final shortlist. A quick and organised process makes a huge difference to the type of talent you attract.
5. Why am I not getting applications
This is one of the most common concerns for employers and usually points to a problem with salary, advert structure, job title, job board placement or application flow.
How Ad Talent helps.
Before your advert goes live we rewrite and refine it to improve clarity and appeal. After launch we give your role wide coverage which increases both volume and quality. Many low performing adverts improve immediately once the title, salary transparency and visibility are corrected.
