Recruitment plus
your team, embedded in ours
For businesses that hire regularly, or are scaling fast, Recruitment Plus gives you a dedicated recruitment partner who lives and breathes your business, at a cost you can plan for.
When contingent recruitment isn't quite right
Contingent recruitment is brilliant when you need to fill a one-off role, fast.
But if you're hiring often, growing a team, or juggling multiple vacancies across departments, paying a fee for every single hire adds up quickly. And every new recruiter has to start from scratch, learning your business, your culture, and what a great fit actually looks like for you. That's where Recruitment Plus comes in.
What is Recruitment Plus?
Recruitment Plus is our embedded talent solution. Instead of coming to us project by project, you get a dedicated recruitment consultant (or team) who becomes a genuine extension of your business.
They get to know your hiring managers, your culture, and your candidates the way an internal recruiter would, backed by all the expertise, networks and resource of the Cummins Mellor team.
And because it's a fixed fee rather than a percentage per hire, you always know where you stand, whether you're filling one role a month or twenty.
What you get
A dedicated, embedded recruiter - A consultant who works as part of your team, not a third party dipping in and out. They'll know your business as well as you do.
Predictable, fixed-fee pricing - No per-hire fees stacking up. One clear cost, so you can plan your recruitment spend with confidence.
A solution that flexes with you - Scale up when you're hiring at volume, dial down when things are quieter. Recruitment Plus moves at your pace, not a rigid contract.
Full ownership of your employer brand - Every candidate interaction reflects your business, not ours. You stay in control of the experience from first contact to offer.
How it works
Your Recruitment Health Check is a three-step process to understand what’s going on under the bonnet of your business.
Recruitment Health Check
We start by getting under the skin of your business: your hiring challenges, your volumes, your goals, and where the gaps are.
A strategy built around you
From there, we build a recruitment strategy that's entirely yours, one you can dial up or down as your needs shift.
Embedded delivery
Your dedicated consultant becomes part of your team, handling everything with the deep understanding of your organisation that only comes from being truly embedded.
CASE STUDY
Blackburn College
One of the region’s largest employers, Blackburn College needed strategic support for hard-to-fill roles to enable them to run more courses, as well as a dedicated recruitment resource to meet its volume-hiring needs.
After an enlightening Recruitment Health Check, we created a unique recruitment strategy Blackburn College could dial up or down with their shifting needs, safe in the knowledge everything was handled by experts with a deep understanding of their organisation.

CASE STUDY
WEST Youth Zone
Following a free consultation call, we delivered a series of 1-1 training sessions to the CEO of a new charity on how to recruit effectively. At that stage, the full Recruitment Health Check wasn’t suitable as the Youth Zone was in its pre-opening stage, so we designed a bespoke solution to solve the CEO’s immediate hiring challenges.
Hear what West Youth Zone have to say...
"Katie offered me some bespoke training sessions as I was feeling a completely snowed under with recruitment for charity I am setting up. There were so many options for outsourcing recruitment, but they were all out of our budget and/or I was confused by the range of services on offer and how relevant they would be.
Kate put together something individualised for me, and it was such a fantastic investment. She made some really simple suggestions which made a big difference, as well as talking me through some recruitment tools which have put me back in the driving seat of the process. She was kind, patient and positive and I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to her for advice again, thank you Katie!"
