Enercom uses the online fixed fee recruitment system for all its recruitment, this system is cost effective, very convenient and extremely user friendly.
Once the advert/job description is placed , the hard work is done. The applicant tracking system allows for tracking and managing all new applications, you can view all CV’s online, all unsuitable candidates are screened out by Flex, you only get to see CV’s that appropriately match the role you’re recruiting for. With an email from Flex to alert for new applications, it is easy to process new CV’s as they come in and progress them accordingly.
For the cost of a single small advert in a local newspaper; you get greater coverage, faster responses and a applicant screening system rolled into one, This system has saved many man hours and introduced good quality employees into the business
For a small business with limited budgets this system is the most cost effective way of recruiting.

“I got to know Jackie from Flex Recruitment after attending a Seminar they ran on Online Recruitment which covered the subject of writing effective online job adverts amongst other topics. .
I have to say on all aspects I have been very impressed. I learnt a lot at the seminar, including many new and useful tips and techniques on how to attract the right candidates. Since then I’ve been involved with Jackie on a regular basis. She is extremely helpful, really friendly, and has helped me on a variety of recruitment issues. Jackie responds very quickly and in my opinion offers help that exceeds expectations.
The Flex online recruitment system has really proved its worth to us and I will definitely continue to use it. I purchased the Flex Multipost option (£399) which meant my ad was posted to 9 major job boards and I have successfully recruited 4 Design Engineers from 1 advert alone!! £100 for a new recruit is an extremely cost effective option when you compare it to the massive fees the specialist recruitment agencies charge. The system is intuitive and therefore really easy to use and offers you all you need for a complete recruitment package.

“Good to see how well your systems work...I would like to use Flex Recruitment as an example of how a professional agency should be run”.
ANDREW HORNER, Chair of REC Drivers & Rec Board Member
Our existing method of placing job vacancies online was heavily reliant upon external advertising agencies which proved very costly and it was also equally reliant on our staff to sort, manage and correspond with applicants within systems that were not designed for high volumes of applicants.
We are now clearly seeing the difference to our resourcing capability in-house as a consequence of the FlexPlus auto posting tools and the very smart applicant tracking tool. We have now totally cut out the advertising agency element and the administration/communication involved with numerous job board accounts, which will save us several thousand pounds this year.
We are now looking forward to integrating your career management tool to our careers website. I would also just like to mention that the help and support from the team at Flex has been great.
BARRY DOW (Head of HR) Hammonds Furniture Limited
“I can only say that I find it difficult to fault Flex recruitment in their supply of staff to us. We are a very demanding performance
orientated business with little room for complacency.
Staff quality matches our expectations in the majority of cases.
Productivity is very good and is continuously achieved through the co-ordination, supervision and motivation of people via our own section
managers and the Flex on-site team. Consequently staff retention is high as we endeavour to integrate the entire workforce into one,
regardless of “Temp or Perm “status” and a large proportion of our current workforce originated from Flex.
In summary Flex and JRL have developed the relationship and have both worked extremely hard as a team to deliver our promises to our customer Marks & Spencer Plc. and I have no hesitation in recommending them to our peers”.
STEVE HENSHAW (Warehouse Operations Manager)
Our company has worked with Flex for a number of years now, and have always enjoyed a
good working relationship.
Telephones are always answered quickly, even in the middle of the night, by friendly
experienced staff, who will do their best to help you. On the rare occasion that they are unable to do
so, they will come back to you quickly rather than keep you hanging on wondering. Their
temporary workers are all skilled, friendly, flexible, and willing to tackle whatever you throw at them.
In any business relationship which lasts as long as our has with Flex, there will be the
occasional problem. The real test of any business is how these problems are dealt with. Flex have
not come up short on this front. They have always been willing to listen to us, and have been very
fair in sorting out any difficulty which we have experienced, in a prompt and good natured manner.
Over the past few years Flex have developed from just another agency, into a trusted
business partner, who are now our first port of call for temporary staff. We would have no hesitation
in recommending them to any other business.

"Given the challenging timescales involved with this project we would have not achieved our objectives had it not been for Jackie,
Lesley and the Flex team. Their recruitment software and processes are excellent, and far more developed than their competitors.
Their systems enabled us and FlexPlus to know exactly how many candidates were at any given stage throughout the project – which
greatly assisted us with our planning and forecasting. This was supported by excellent communication throughout the whole process."
Joe Janda (Head of Implementation) First Assist
"Thank you for all your help and we have found the process of using FlexPlus to be very professional, expedient and cost effective. We would certainly consider using this method for recruitment again in the future"
