Recruitment Specialists for Technology within Energy Trading

Contractors are not replacements for Permanent staff. Contractors offer a cost-effective resource pool to be used to quickly and effectively bring on board a range of skillsets, often encompassing niche skills which are difficult to find.

Usually utilised in a project-based capacity, Contractors are hugely valuable resources that drive the success of many of the world's leading projects through an urgency in meeting project milestones.

Contractor Resourcing and Management has been the primary function at Eaglecliff Recruitment for over 40 years.

New Resources can be sourced and onboarded quickly – often within 5-10 working days.

Recruitment can often be tricky but it's particularly challenging when trying to source hard-to-find, specialist niche skills that are heavily in demand.

Advertising for these skills is fruitless; this simply doesn't work!

Often the challenge is that there genuinely is a limited pool of qualified candidates who possess the unique combination of specialist skills required for certain technical roles or within a specific business domain.

This is where highly refined strategic thinking produces strong results, based upon exceptional knowledge within certain skillsets or with specific industry expertise.

We build long-term relationships within the Energy Trading Community so that when the time is right for a move, these highly talented individuals move with Eaglecliff.

We're extremely proud to have built such a strong ETRM Database.

This network covers Endur, Allegro, RightAngle and EOS.

Contractors are available who have expertise within all modules and within the latest versions, including hands-on configuration skills.

Internal Recruitment works well for mainstream jobs but when there is a need for niche specialist technical skills, or for business facing expertise within the Front Office, it's often beneficial to bring in a specialist Agency for these jobs.

The Eaglecliff Recruitment team works closely with HR and with internal Talent Acquisition teams, bridging the gap between jobs that can be filled internally by a client and those that need highly refined search mechanisms.

Permanent Recruitment Services extend across the full end-to-end lifecycle:

• Customer Branding
• Advertising
• Networking
• Social Media
• Talent Acquisition
• Interview Procedures
• Salary Negotiation
• Offer Acceptance
• Onboarding

Technical skills alone are not enough when it comes to Permanent Recruitment; Culture fit is critical in order to cement long-term relationships, ensuring that new employees can enjoy working in a positive environment with solid career opportunities that offer personal development.

Our Managed Service Provider solution acts as your Recruitment command centre.

When there is a need for additional Suppliers to be incorporated into the Supply Chain, this can be implemented seamlessly through our established MSP functions.

Access can then be available to additional talent supplied through specialist Consultancies or other Suppliers that work within highly structured industry sectors providing unconventional talent that is not easy to find.

With one point of Contact and a transparent process, efficiencies are quickly incorporated, leaving Clients with the freedom to focus on core functions within their own Business models.

Savings in cost are achieved through careful Supplier management, as well as streamlined administration through self-billing and consolidated invoicing mechanisms.

We work with Industry leading Screening platforms that enable Contractors to upload documents within a Secure Platform.

This incudes the Right to Work in the UK with mechanisms in place that automatically identify when documents are expiring such as Work Permits, Visa and Passports.

References are taken up for all Contractors covering the previous six years of work experience, along with DBS Checks, Identity Checks, Adverse Media Checks and Global Sanctions.

Contractor documentation is signed electronically, again within a Secure Platform, with a range of flexible Terms being available to cover different methods of working.

Client NDA's and Intellectual Property Undertakings are also signed electronically, along with any other documentation that is required specific to individual client needs.

Direct Recruitment works extremely well for a wide range of Assignments and when this is possible, significant Cost Savings can be achieved.

We work in close partnership with Internal Talent Acquisition teams, helping to onboard New Starters quickly and professionally with a range of Contract options and completing Compliance checks on-line.

Payrolling for Direct Contractors often provides a self-billing mechanism which also achieves administrative savings through consolidated invoicing procedures.

Contractors are paid quickly and can work through a range of Options including:

• Internal PAYE Mechanism
• FCSA Accredited Umbrella Company
• Personal Service Company

We also manage a diverse range of third-party suppliers – both agencies and consultancies – who are brought on board when there is a need to locate unconventional talent that is not readily available within the usual Supply Chain.

These are highly specialised, niche skill suppliers who would not be part of a general PSL yet who are essential for small numbers of specialist skillsets.

By acting as the UK Payrolling Partner, we are able to distance potential Co-Employment relationships and ensure that Statutory Compliance and Corporate Governance is aligned.
