Recruitment Transformation
Fuelled by the growth of social media and the relentless development of new technologies, the in-house recruitment sector has seen unprecedented change. The role of the modern in-house recruiter has changed almost beyond recognition.
Companies that have seized the opportunity and replaced traditional, administrative recruitment functions with specialist, strategic resourcing functions are widening the talent gap, and many companies have been left behind.
We now recognise the process of change from administrative to strategic resourcing as ‘Recruitment Transformation’. The good news is that the journey has been mapped.
InSource Talent has been created to help companies navigate that journey. We are your partners for Recruitment Transformation. We will provide an impartial assessment of your current recruitment activities, and advise on the development of your own in-house recruitment transformation strategy.

BOOK NOWTestimonials
The Strategic Resourcing Workshop was one of the most practical & insightful training sessions I've ever attended. Stuart had the style and content to mix the strategic elements of resourcing with real practical application and take away tools.
Invaluable insight into accessing the potential candidate pool via social media. Informative & revolutionary ideas - but most importantly, also realistic and practical!.
Excellent! The Strategic Resourcing Workshop completely delivered against my objectives for attending. I now feel more confident in forming and implementing a long-term plan to build a more strategic resourcing service.
A real eye-opener! Definitely worth attending to fully understand the potential that exists for using social media to proactively recruit.
Stuart was innovative, professional, knowledgeable and his ‘can do’ attitude was inspiring.
If you want to find out how to improve your recruitment - Stuart's your man!
I highly recommend him to everyone, and in large part due to his background in recruitment but also because of his ability to engage a diverse group of people.
Stuart is a go-to resource for any business that wants to evaluate their Recruitment approach and gauge its effectiveness.
A must for anyone looking to improve the efficiency of their recruitment function.
The course was enjoyable, targeted and informative.
Stuart is open and friendly, and highly knowledgeable in the topic of using social media in recruitment.
