HR Support: Keeping on top of employment law and regulations can be a challenge, especially for smaller organisations who can’t necessarily justify the cost of internal HR staff. Often you may you need practical, rather than expensive legal, advice in addressing day-to-day staffing challenges, offered by an experienced HR professional rather than a solicitor. Equally, as a larger employer, sometimes you may need an extra pair of hands when faced with organisational change, such as implementing new business. Getting it wrong can be time consuming and expensive.

Carley Consult can help. Our dedicated, CIPD qualified experts have career experience of leading and managing HR initiatives within both large and small organisations, and bring over 10 years of experience specific to the employment and skills sector. Examples of the types of services we offer include:

  • Devising and keeping your HR policies and employee handbooks up to date,
  • Developing professional job descriptions for both new and existing positions,
  • Carrying out pre-recruitment selection, such as CV and telephone screening, conducting first-stage interviews, and devising selection exercises,
  • Guiding you through disciplinary and grievance procedures,
  • Managing and supporting TUPE transfers (inward and outward),
  • Supporting you through planned redundancies,
  • Helping you with cases of absence management,
  • Case management and advice on other HR issues.

We can offer you a variety of cost effective packages. These include our “HR Help Desk” service, providing unlimited HR advice by phone and e-mail, with a monthly fee based on the numbers of staff you employ.

Recruitment: We are uniquely placed to support your recruitment needs through a range of services. We have more than 4,000 employment and skills sector practitioners who are e-mail subscribers to our news centre, through whom we have regularly run recruitment advertorials for our clients. We have a dedicated jobs board, carleyrecruit.co.uk, the recruitment website exclusively for career opportunities in the employment and skills sector. Alternatively, we also provide a full resourcing service, where we advertise for and identify the very best fit candidates for your vacancy on your behalf.

Carley Consult assisted us with the complete recruitment process for a Director level position, leading up to attendance on final interview panels. Jim and his team provided highly valued advice together with an unrivalled insight into the employability sector and its people. We would not hesitate to recommend Carley Consult.
