Testimonials

'Using the services of Rebecca Bevins HR Consultancy has ensured that the Barratt Graduate Recruitment Programme has been managed in an efficient, professional and effective manner, resulting in a high calibre of graduate being shortlisted for assessment centre and selection.

Rebecca's team have managed over 400 candidates through an initial screening process, administered an online questionnaire for 300 candidates, and conducted 180 competency-based telephone interviews. In addition, the team have responded to all recruitment queries in a timely manner, providing a service second to none.

Before commencing the project, Rebecca and her team gained an in-depth knowledge of Barratt Developments PLC and the Graduate Development Programme and have represented Barratt as an internal team, rather than as a consultancy, which has led to positive feedback from candidates.

I have been impressed with the team's proactive approach to work and their ability to provide detailed management and candidate information whenever requested.'

A bit like accounting, audit and legal, HR is one of those "necessary evils" for all business's: nobody really understands the subject and perhaps tries to duck the issues and muddle through as best as possible.

Of course, it doesn't have to be like that and I believe the Rebecca Bevins consultancy has helped us towards this realisation. They are able to combine a good understanding of the law with a common sense approach, resulting in satisfactory conclusions to issues to the benefit of both employer and employee alike. It has also been important that the service has been independent, providing an impartial resource resulting in considered and practical advice.

The Rebecca Bevins consultancy has proved a valuable addition to the business and its continued success.

Verity has worked for SSC Ltd developing many of the vital Managers and Staff guidelines to underpin the writing and launch of all of SSC Ltd key HR policies. SSC Ltd as a start up company relied heavily on these being developed according to some very tight time scales. Verity worked as a part of a small close knit HR and training delivery group and contributed positively to all our timescales and objectives throughout.
