For employers

More than just recruitment

A hiring partner that represents your business like it’s our own. More confidence, less wasted spend and a process that works.

How we help employers

Solution based process, embrace change, think long-term

Four things our clients tell us make the difference.

A strategic partner

From a single hire to a whole team, we plan with you, not just react to a vacancy. We understand that the strategy needs to be right for every hire, not a one size fits all approach.

Recruitment delivery options

Five ways to work with us

Whatever the shape of your hiring need, there’s a model that fits.

Temporary

Our temp-to-perm recruitment solution is designed to create the right long-term match for both employers and candidates, offering flexibility, insight and confidence before committing permanently.

How it works
We place a candidate with your business on a temporary basis, with the intention of moving into a permanent role. During this period, the candidate remains on our payroll while working within your team, giving you the opportunity to assess their performance and fit.

At the same time, candidates can experience the role, team and company culture first-hand, ensuring it aligns with their expectations and career goals.

A two-way trial
Temp-to-perm benefits both sides. Employers reduce hiring risk, while candidates gain the chance to trial the role and working environment before making a long-term decision.

Why choose temp-to-perm?
Reduce risk: make informed hiring decisions and help your cash flow – we pay the workers weekly, and you pay us on agreed credit terms (30 days from invoice).
Better matches: ensure the right fit for both sides.

Permanent

Our permanent recruitment service offers a fully managed hiring solution, where we take control of the entire recruitment process on your behalf.

Using a combination of specialist advertising media and our extensive UK candidate database, we proactively source and match the right talent to your role. From initial search and screening through to interview management and offer stage, we handle every step with care and precision.

This approach allows you to focus on your business while we deliver high-quality, well-matched candidates efficiently, ensuring a smooth and successful permanent hire.

Scale

Volume and project recruitment for growth phases: multiple hires through one accountable partner.

The Poolhall team will build the best strategic approach to meet your recruitment challenge.

You stay in the decision-making driving seat, and we will present scalable hiring solutions, with rebates, fees and replacement criteria, to set the foundation for a successful working partnership.

Pay monthly

This service can help employers in two ways.

1. Cash flow assistance
Plain and simple: split a permanent placement fee into a maximum of three monthly payments. This is offered to companies that use our services more than once within a four-month period.

2. Invoice only
For lower-salary hiring. You take the candidate on directly from day one, and we send 10 weekly invoices (paid monthly), similar to what a temporary worker fee would be.

Employers are now under more pressure to offer candidates a full-time contract from day one, but percentage-fee recruitment doesn’t work for high-turnover or volume hiring. This way, you get the people you need at the cost you have been used to.

On-site

A fully managed on-site service: a Poolhall representative on site, on a day rate, to help you with temporary or permanent hiring. With over 13 years in recruitment, our director has access to an extensive network of excellent recruiters.

This gives you control on site, with agency expertise and the Poolhall stamp of quality.

We have recent on-site experience of setting up internal recruitment functions from scratch. We can set you up with:
• the best CRM/ATS technology
• pay-as-you-go recruitment advertising on the leading job boards to find candidates
• invoice finance funding to pay contractors weekly.

If needed, we can also hire you a recruitment consultant to manage everything we set up for you, as part of the agreement.
