Summary
Founded by Doug Caiger after 25 years in corporate recruitment, including nearly a decade building workforce systems at Vodafone, Recruitment Collective is a workforce advisory partner for UK SMEs.
Many of the organisations we work with are not short of work, but still feel under pressure. Teams are stretched, roles are unclear, and hiring often feels like it should fix the problem, but rarely does.
The consultancy helps organisations make clearer and more confident decisions about their people, structure and future workforce needs. Senior-level experience from corporate recruitment and workforce operations is applied through a model designed specifically for smaller organisations.
The work involves partnering with founders, leaders and operational teams to understand how the organisation operates today, where risks and gaps exist and what needs to change for the business to scale sustainably. This results in clearer structures, stronger alignment, more effective talent narratives and fewer reactive decisions.
Everything is built around helping SMEs create resilient workforces: teams designed to perform today and adapt to tomorrow.
Our Workforce Services help you understand your teams, improve people decision-making and build long-term organisational strength, creating a workforce that is resilient rather than reactive.
Built around three advisory pillars that strengthen how SMEs plan, structure and manage their workforce, we offer a tailored approach. Choose the path below that fits where your business is today.
