A Scalable Multidimensional Recruitment Solution

At New River, we recognise that the evolving demands of talent acquisition require a dynamic and flexible approach. Work:Net is our innovative service designed to extend your reach into the talent market and scale seamlessly to meet your unique needs.

A Collaborative Ecosystem

In a rapidly changing landscape, collaboration is key. Work:Net is a collaborative ecosystem comprising a network of professional talent acquisition partners.

Our carefully curated network ensures that we have the expertise to tackle every aspect of your recruitment needs. Work:Net enables us to seamlessly partner with our network of agencies and freelance recruiters, pooling our collective strengths to deliver comprehensive solutions. This collaborative model allows us to go beyond the confines of traditional recruitment, offering a broader spectrum of services that cater to the intricacies of various roles and industries.

Scale On Demand

The beauty of Work:Net lies in its scalability, allowing us to increase bandwidth on specific searches. With our extended network, we can mobilise swiftly, providing the resources required to tackle high-priority assignments efficiently. This scalability ensures that your hiring needs are met promptly, without compromising on the quality and precision that define New River’s approach.

Recruitment-as-a-Service (RaaS)

Complementing Work:Net is our powerfully flexible Recruitment-as-a-Service (RaaS) offering. This goes beyond the standard agency recruitment model, providing a dynamic solution that transforms the way you approach talent acquisition.

With RaaS, we can take on the entire recruitment process – from strategy and planning to execution and onboarding – or provide additional TA resources who can embed into your existing organisation to relieve the pressure of spikes in demand, projects or for short to medium-term team cover.

An innovative and flexible solution to fit any size team, from zero and up.

Even with the best will in the world, hiring plans can change unexpectedly and dramatically leaving you and your team unable to cope with increased demand. Finding and hiring good recruiters to help is not only hard, it also takes up time that would be better spent supporting your team and business. It’s also highly impractical to hire new recruiters to meet short to medium term spikes in demand.

Small businesses, as they are just starting up and those that are going through the next phase of evolution, from plucky start up to serious players, don’t typically have access to their own in-house talent acquisition team. As a consequence, they often find that all their leaders’ time is being taken up with recruiting activities instead of all the other stuff on their long todo lists.

RaaS is a model whereby you enter into a relationship with an external agency so that they can support you and act much like a dedicated internal resource. This novel hybrid solution allows you to obtain the expertise and delivery capability of an outside agency combined with the tight alignment of an internal team.

With RaaS from Work:Net, you can access a pool of seasoned recruiters and industry specialists without the long-term commitment. Our experts can be rapidly deployed and seamlessly integrate with your organisation, streamlining the process and reducing time and costs for as long as you need them for. RaaS allows you to tap into our extensive network, ensuring that the right expertise is available when you need it. With Work:Net and our comprehensive Recruitment-as-a-Service (RaaS) solution, New River is not just a recruitment partner; we are your strategic ally in building the teams that drive your success.
