Consulting Services

One of the biggest challenges facing businesses today is attracting and retaining the right people.

Before embarking on a recruitment drive, it’s important to understand the marketplace so you can make better hires, faster. That’s where we come in.

Using a variety of mapping tools, market research and analytics, our in-house marketing team helps you identify who you should hire, where they are located, what motivates them and how to access this talent. Our research forms the cornerstone of recruitment and retention strategies.

What does our market mapping include?

Each report is custom to your needs, and we consult with you to understand your objectives prior to getting started. This ensures we provide insights for your HR teams that spark action.

Our reports include:

• Identifying where your talent is (locations and hotspots)
• Gender breakdowns by region/experience level/industry
• Supply and demand by region/experience/industry
• Key motivators for your talent
• Internal talent mapping
• Candidate personas
• Wider industry insights
• Salary and benefits benchmarking by region/experience level/industry
• New partnership opportunities for fresh talent
• Employer brand and career page audit
• How our clients use us

We’ve produced custom reports for clients across the automotive, cyber, defence and manufacturing sectors. To date, our market data has been used to help attract talent in areas with a perceived skills shortage, identify new areas for growth, revamp benefits packages and increase diversity.

Our insights are an ideal starting point for your relationship with Optamor, giving us the knowledge we need to produce an informed recruitment strategy in partnership with you.

What does OD involve?

We break down OD into intertwined threads, centred around your people:

• Structure: we look at how you are organised, mapping out your structure. This enables us to understand your hierarchy and how it can be reformed or enhanced.
• Culture: we take your EVP and compare it with your performance objectives. Often, a small shift in culture rather than a complete revamp is needed.
• Capabilities: we look at your workforce, their behaviours, attainments and motivators to see if you have the skills and attitudes you need to achieve your goals.

We take a bespoke approach to our partnership with you, bringing objectivity and knowledge to your business.

How our clients use us

Businesses need to keep adapting and innovating to stay competitive. OD helps you navigate these changes, placing your most important asset - your people - at the heart of everything you do.

OD benefits businesses adapting to a variety of scenarios, including:

• Rapid business growth
• Brand repositioning
• Mergers/acquisitions
• Taking new products to market

Our aim is to drive performance, reduce costs and give you the tools you need to continue your growth.

The talent market is changing rapidly, with automation transforming roles across many industries. It is predicted that half of all work will be automated in the near future, and both our recruitment and training processes are evolving as a result.

We embrace technology, from recruitment platforms to underpin our talent solutions, AI- enhanced job adverts, inductions supported by digital approaches such as gamification, to LMS platforms for our training solutions. Streamlining and innovating the talent process places more attention on candidates and delegates, inspiring them to join and then develop within your business.

Everything we do has your end goal in mind, whether that's reducing your time and cost per hire, building strong relationships with candidates from their very first interactions with your brand, or developing their career with you by deploying training interventions that provide them with both personal and business growth.

Our talent technology solutions (ATS/VMS/TMS/LMS) are flexible and configurable to our customer's requirements and where needed we are able to align our solutions to the existing internal technology platforms of our customers.
