de Poel, the global workforce solutions specialist, has announced the launch of a new recruitment solution, e-tips one®. The launch sees de Poel expanding into the SME market, having predominantly only worked alongside large blue chip clients.
The move into the SME market marks a significant step for de Poel as it looks to expand the business in 2014. Using its expertise and knowledge from its work with large blue chip organisations, de Poel has developed the e-tips one® solution which will enable SMEs to make significant savings, reducing direct recruitment costs by up to 18% and streamlining processes, such as invoicing administration and timesheets. e-tips one® creates a single weekly invoice, across all suppliers and job categories, enabling organisations to reallocate internal resources.
Richard Newman, Sales and Marketing Director of de Poel, commented on the launch: “We are really excited to be launching e-tips one® and expanding our service offering into the SME market. Reaching out to small businesses is the next logical step in de Poel’s future development, offering another opportunity for local recruitment as we look to grow the business further.”
Matthew Sanders, CEO of de Poel added “Research has shown that SMEs spend up to £300 million each year on their recruitment needs and we, with our proven expertise and results in the blue chip space, have developed e-tips one® to offer efficiencies and cost savings to SMEs. Resources are often limited for SMEs, so the e-tips one® solution is perfect to help relieve some of this burden. ”
By using the e-tips one® solution, SMEs will typically see five key benefits that will ensure they are filling their temporary staffing needs as efficiently as possible.
- Cost Savings – e-tips one® will give SMEs access to an agreed hourly rate card that, through de Poel’s significant buying power, will offer smaller firms economies of scale and discounts on the hourly rates being paid for temporary workers. This saving will reduce direct agency staffing costs by up to 18%.
- Ensure Compliance – As industry experts, de Poel’s in-house legal team monitors all legislative changes that impact the temporary recruitment industry. By using the e-tips one® solution, we help our clients remain compliant with new legislation in a simple and straight forward way, including the Agency Workers Regulations and Pensions Auto Enrolment.
- Streamlined Administration – Providing clients with a single weekly-consolidated invoice, e-tips one® significantly reduces the administrative burden often associated with temporary workers.
- Visibility and Control – Through the proven cloud-based system, clients are able to view real-time Management Information, providing complete visibility of their temporary agency workforce; assisting with strategic planning, creating further cost savings and ensuring future management is more efficient.
- Raise Standards – Regular supplier audits will ensure compliance against regulatory requirements and will ensure that agencies compete for SME business based on quality of service, not just price.
