Recruitment & onboarding
From creative recruitment campaigns, employer branding and headhunting to a qualitative onboarding experience with attention to administrative, social and job technical aspects.
Do I bet on job boards? Do I reach my target group better via social media? Or do I hire a recruitment agency? You can find talent in a lot of ways, but not everything works for your organization. Our recruitment team comes up with a personalized approach, taking into account your target group and sector.
Recruiting
A well-written vacancy provides significantly more inflow of candidates. The vacancy must appeal both textually and in terms of structure. Video can also be used.
You can 'market' the vacancies by using classic job boards (when relevant) or hunting passive talent, but thanks to the synergies with our marketing team, we can also focus on 'recruitment marketing', where we can target the right target group on Facebook, Linkedin or other channels. The use of AI and other automation technologies will significantly optimizes the cost-to-hire.
The job site or “career site” - like any commercial website, conversion (including a job application) is the goal. We advise on call-to-actions, structure, content, look & feel and other issues that contribute to an excellent candidate experience. We implement 'tracking' so that you always have an up-to-date insight into the behavior of potential candidates and targeted digital marketing actions (including remarketing) can be developed.
Selection and screening
You want to make sure that the candidate you hire:
- has the right skills
- matches your company culture
- has enough potential to grow further
To optimize the success rate, we can provide a screening based on:
- resume/phone call/interview/references
- assessment center (in cooperation with our partners)
Onboarding and offboarding
Employee onboarding and offboarding are critical steps in employee management that have a direct impact on job satisfaction, retention, and ultimately productivity within an organization.
When someone joins your organization, it's important that the new employee is up to date right away. That's why there's onboarding, the starting point of the employee experience. The better organized it is, the faster you can turn new talent into efficient employees. At Unikoo, we understand that the first days and weeks in a new position determine the long-term success of both the employee and the organization. That's why we offer a professional onboarding process that not only includes the necessary administration, but also ensures a warm welcome to the team and effective knowledge sharing, so that new employees are fully operational from day one.
Our onboarding process has been designed with attention to detail, optimizing every aspect of the new employee's experience to ensure a smooth and welcoming start. From providing essential business information and setting clear expectations to facilitating introductions with key players within the organization, we make sure every new addition feels valued and supported. Our approach not only ensures faster integration into the team, but also builds the basis for a strong company culture and team spirit.
We make sure that every new addition feels valued
Just as important as a good start is a respectful and structured end to the working relationship. Our offboarding process is just as well thought out as our onboarding process. We believe that a quality exit process and conversation are essential for both the departing employee and the organization. It provides valuable insights that can be used to improve processes, increase retention, and even strengthen future recruitment. Our goal is to ensure that employees leave the organization with a positive feeling and respect for the time they have spent with us, contributing to a positive employer brand in the long term.
Collaboration
How to work with us? You choose that yourself:
- 'no cure, no pay' or 'time & material'
- remotely, at your office, or anywhere in between
- the entire recruitment process (from recruitment to onboarding) or just part of it
Strategic HR expertise, flexible availability
Not every organisation needs a full-time HR Manager, VP of People or Chief Human Resources Officer. However, for many growing companies, there does come a time when people become the most important topic on the management agenda. When HR requires more direction, structure and senior expertise, our fractional CHROs are on hand to take your organisation to the next level.
That point often arrives sooner than expected. From the staff regulations for the first employee to the staff elections for the hundredth, as an organisation grows, its needs change and structure and strategy become increasingly important. With CHRO-as-a-service, you receive on-demand, pragmatic support from an experienced HR professional. Someone who is part of your management team, makes decisions and prepares the organisation for the next phase, whilst also translating HR policy into concrete actions, clear priorities and tangible results. Flexible, tailored to your organisation, and backed by the entire Unikoo team for extra firepower where needed.
For whom is our CHRO-as-a-service intended?
Start-ups, scale-ups and SMEs that need a People & Talent strategy, a clear structure and well-defined roles.
Organisations or HR teams that have the administrative side under control, but lack a strategic approach.
Organisations that, as they progress through the various stages of growth, develop new requirements in terms of compliance or regulation, organisational framework, governance structures, and KPI and OKR frameworks.
Organisations undergoing change: a reorganisation, a takeover, the integration of teams or a cultural transformation programme.
Companies that are struggling to find the right candidates or are seeing too many people leave and want to know why.
Our approach
At Unikoo, we believe in a pragmatic approach. Practical HR models and flexible strategic support that are tailored to the reality of your organisation.
We start by looking at your business, your growth objectives and your current HR operations. We also assess where you stand today and what changes will be required as you take the next step in your growth. Based on this, we work with you to identify your most pressing needs and how a CHRO-as-a-service can make the greatest impact.
This could involve a temporary assignment, a permanent part-time role or project-based support during a specific phase of growth or change process.
