Temporary recruitment capacity<\/h2>\n<p>When an organisation needs extra recruitment capacity for a while, Flexxy can bring in one of its own recruiters. They work with HR, management and hiring managers to pick up vacancies and recruitment processes and get them moving.<\/p>\n<p>For this kind of temporary support, we use three terms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Interim recruitment<\/strong> means the recruiter works with you for a set period.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Embedded recruitment<\/strong> means the recruiter works as part of your in-house team and represents your organisation to candidates.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fractional recruitment<\/strong> means the recruiter works with you for part of the week, for example one, two or three days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These models overlap. For example, a recruiter could work with you for six months, two days a week, and fit fully into your in-house team. That would be interim, fractional and embedded all at once.<\/p>\n<p>In practice, Flexxy's interim recruiters usually work embedded. They get to know your organisation, teams, vacancies and way of working, and work directly with the hiring managers involved.<\/p>\n<h3>What can a Flexxy interim recruiter take on?<\/h3>\n<p>The work may include, amongst other things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>vacancy intakes;<\/li>\n<li>target group and labour market analyses;<\/li>\n<li>sourcing and personalised candidate outreach;<\/li>\n<li>screening and selection;<\/li>\n<li>candidate communications;<\/li>\n<li>coaching hiring managers;<\/li>\n<li>planning and tracking the hiring process;<\/li>\n<li>reporting on progress and results;<\/li>\n<li>improving recruitment processes and systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Flexxy stays responsible for the support, quality and continuity of the service.<\/p>\n<h3>Fractional support from one day a week<\/h3>\n<p>Not every organisation needs a recruiter five days a week. Fractional recruitment lets you bring in experienced recruitment capacity from just one day a week.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn't mean recruitment only happens on that one set day. Vacancies and hiring processes keep moving all week. Candidates respond at different times and can't always wait for the next scheduled workday.<\/p>\n<p>The bigger tasks are done within the agreed hours. Short follow-ups and essential communication are spread across the week where needed. That way, candidates and hiring managers get continuity, without you having to bring in a full-time recruiter.<\/p>\n<p>Temporary recruitment capacity is a good fit when:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>recruitment takes up too much of HR\u2019s or management\u2019s time;<\/li>\n<li>an in-house recruiter is temporarily unavailable;<\/li>\n<li>your organisation is growing;<\/li>\n<li>you have several vacancies to fill at once;<\/li>\n<li>you don't need a full-time recruiter yet;<\/li>\n<li>you need extra sourcing capacity;<\/li>\n<li>your recruitment needs to be better organised.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Find out more about our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flexxy.nl\/en\/services\/recruitment-services\/\">Recruitment Services<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Project recruitment<\/h2>\n<p>With project recruitment, Flexxy takes on a clearly defined recruitment assignment. It's not just about a set number of hours, but above all about a clear goal.<\/p>\n<p>Project recruitment can be used for things like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>filling several similar roles;<\/li>\n<li>building a new team;<\/li>\n<li>clearing the backlog of vacancies;<\/li>\n<li>opening a new branch;<\/li>\n<li>building a talent pool;<\/li>\n<li>a temporary growth or change programme.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Up front, we agree on which vacancies or target groups are the focus, what results are expected, how much capacity is needed and how progress will be measured.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the size of the project, Flexxy assigns one recruiter, a recruiter with extra sourcing support or a wider recruitment team.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Recruitment and selection for permanent roles<\/h2>\n<p>Flexxy handles search &amp; selection for permanent employees.<\/p>\n<p>We start with an in-depth intake, mapping out the role, working environment, target group and labour market. Then we search for, approach and speak with candidates who fit both the role and the organisation.<\/p>\n<p>We look beyond the CV. We want to understand what someone has done, what they're good at, what they're looking for and whether the move makes sense in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>Recruitment and selection is a good fit when:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>you're hiring for one or a few permanent roles;<\/li>\n<li>the right candidates don't apply on their own;<\/li>\n<li>you don't have the time or reach to search actively yourself;<\/li>\n<li>the role is specialist or business-critical;<\/li>\n<li>quality matters more than receiving lots of CVs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With recruitment and selection, our fee is tied to a successful placement.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Recruitment Process Outsourcing<\/h2>\n<p>With Recruitment Process Outsourcing, Flexxy takes over an agreed part of your recruitment for a longer period.<\/p>\n<p>That can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>handling several vacancies;<\/li>\n<li>sourcing and selection;<\/li>\n<li>process coordination;<\/li>\n<li>working with hiring managers;<\/li>\n<li>recruitment data and reporting;<\/li>\n<li>tooling and ATS management;<\/li>\n<li>recruitment strategy and improvement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Flexxy can work as an extension of an existing HR or recruitment team, or as an outsourced recruitment function for organisations that don't have this knowledge and capacity in-house.<\/p>\n<p>The difference from a single embedded recruiter is mainly one of scale and responsibility. Embedded recruitment describes how a recruiter works within your organisation. RPO means Flexxy runs a larger, clearly agreed part of your recruitment function and takes responsibility for it as your recruitment partner.<\/p>\n<p>Een RPO-samenwerking wordt altijd afgestemd op het vacaturevolume, de interne kennis en de organisatiefase.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Recruitment operations and strategic recruitment advice<\/h2>\n<p>Recruitment problems don't always come from a lack of candidates. Sometimes the delay is in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Job profiles aren't clear, responsibilities are vague, feedback takes too long or the ATS isn't used properly. In those situations, more sourcing alone doesn't automatically lead to better results.<\/p>\n<p>That's why Flexxy also helps organisations with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>recruitment strategy;<\/li>\n<li>set-up and optimisation of the ATS;<\/li>\n<li>recruitment processes and ways of working;<\/li>\n<li>dashboards and reporting;<\/li>\n<li>funnel analysis;<\/li>\n<li>recruitment data and KPIs;<\/li>\n<li>candidate experience;<\/li>\n<li>interview and selection processes;<\/li>\n<li>coaching hiring managers;<\/li>\n<li>recruitment tooling and automation;<\/li>\n<li>employer branding and labour market communication.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Find out more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flexxy.nl\/en\/services\/strategic-talent-advice\/\">Strategic Talent Advisory<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flexxy.nl\/en\/services\/recruitment-empowerment\/\">Recruitment Empowerment<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Our sector focus<\/h2>\n<h3>Construction, engineering and building services engineering<\/h3>\n<p>Flexxy helps construction companies, technical service providers, installation companies and engineering firms find technical, operational and business support professionals.<\/p>\n<p>In these sectors, a good match isn't just about technical skills.

Besides filling vacancies, we worked on sourcing, processes, recruitment marketing, stakeholder management and the further development of recruitment.<\/p>\n<p>At ERIKS Digital, we supported growth from 4 to more than 100 employees over a period of eighteen months. At the same time, we helped build the recruitment function so it could later be handed over to an in-house recruiter.<\/p>\n<p>Not every organisation needs a full recruitment department. But every organisation benefits from clear responsibilities, a workable process and strong ownership.<\/p>\n<p>You can read more about our background and vision on the page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flexxy.nl\/en\/about-us\/\">About Flexxy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>How do we work?<\/h2>\n<p>Every partnership starts with a clear intake.

That's why we see Flexxy as a recruitment partner.<\/p>\n<h3>Does Flexxy provide interim professionals for other roles?<\/h3>\n<p>No. By interim recruitment, we mean that a Flexxy recruiter temporarily strengthens an organisation's recruitment team.<\/p>\n<p>For roles outside recruitment, we focus on search &amp; selection for permanent positions.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the difference between interim, embedded and fractional recruitment?<\/h3>\n<p>Interim means the recruiter is brought in for a set period. Embedded means the recruiter works as part of your in-house team. Fractional means the recruiter works with you for part of the week.<\/p>\n<p>One partnership can have all three.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I bring in Flexxy from one day a week?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Fractional recruitment is available from one day a week. The right level of support depends on the number of vacancies, how complex the roles are and how much responsibility you want us to take on.<\/p>\n<h3>When should you choose search &amp; selection?<\/h3>\n<p>Search &amp; selection works best for one or a few permanent vacancies. Our fee is tied to a successful placement.<\/p>\n<p>If you need extra recruitment capacity for a while, interim recruitment is usually the better fit.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the difference between project recruitment and RPO?<\/h3>\n<p>Project recruitment has a clearly defined goal and a clear end point. RPO is a broader partnership in which Flexxy takes over an agreed part of your recruitment function for a longer period.<\/p>\n<p>See also our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flexxy.nl\/en\/frequently-asked-questions\/\">frequently asked questions<\/a> for further information.<\/p>\n<h2>Get to know Flexxy<\/h2>\n<p>Want to bring in extra recruitment capacity for a while, fill a permanent vacancy or get a better grip on your recruitment?<\/p>\n<p>We'd be happy to talk through which option suits your organisation, vacancies and stage of growth.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flexxy.nl\/en\/contact\/\">Get in touch with Flexxy<\/a> for a no-obligation introduction.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flexxy biedt recruitment voor bouw, techniek, installatietechniek, infra, maakindustrie en energietransitie.
