Recruiting + Hiring

Fractional Talent Acquisition

When don’t need a full-time talent acquisition employee on your team but still want to tap into an expert, on-demand recruiter to support your openings, a fractional talent acquisition partner is ideal. A full-time person is harder to let go, but as a fractional resources we can easily start/stop our work when needed. And an available on-site presence is a great way to build relationships.

Internal Recruitment Training

If your internal team isn’t hitting the mark, Grey sets them up for success by:

Assessing your LinkedIn presence and leveraging best practices, from messaging to sourcing to managing your responses
Examining the process your recruiting team follows once a candidate has expressed interest
Reviewing your current tools and resources and educating your team to make sure money is spent appropriately
Assessing and improving your recruiters’ interview process and the candidate experience they provide
Teaching recruiters to be good storytellers and captivate candidates

Internal Vetting + Hiring Process Design

Grey assesses these crucial processes from start to finish to help your team be more effective and leave candidates with a wonderful impression of your leadership and company. We’ll provide crucial suggestions to help your vetting and interview efforts yield greater results. And we’ll review your entire hiring and onboarding process to guide your team toward success from the moment a new hire accepts the role.

Interview Advisory

Did you know most hiring managers jump right into job-related questions before crucially getting to know the candidate on a more personal level? Grey will be your expert fly-on-the-wall, listening in on multiple interviews and providing suggestions and changes to your overall interview process to better engage talent and assess the best fits.

Onboarding + Retention

Onboarding Process Design

We help create a custom onboarding plan that fits your company size, department, culture, and goals. This plan gives your new hire the confidence and comfort they need in order to have a smooth and successful start.

Retention + Planning

How you support your employees is key to a longer tenure! We help your team develop a plan that includes quarterly check-ins, employee engagement activities, and strategies to keep the lines of communication open.

Mentorship Building

The buddy system was not set up for those that are new to their career…it is something that starts any new relationship off on the right foot. We help design and administer a successful mentorship program for your new hire that will elevate their experience and increase their level of productivity from day one.

Research + Branding

In-Market Research

Grey puts boots on the ground to better understand nuances in your market and assess where and how to target talent for local facilities. We’ll ride along with salespeople, speak to local businesses and schools, assemble market demographics and more to give you the intelligence required for more successful hiring efforts.

Brand Audits

Are your customer and employer branding efforts enticing candidates to choose you over competitors that have invested in professional branding? Grey audits the brands of you and your key competitors—your visual identity, website experience, key messages, social media presence, and positioning efforts— to see where you stack up and you could improve to be more attractive to top talent.

Awareness Advisory

Grey assesses these crucial processes from start to finish to help your team be more effective and leave candidates with a wonderful impression of your leadership and company. We’ll provide crucial suggestions for helping your vetting and interview efforts yield greater results. And we’ll review your entire hiring and onboarding process to guide your team toward success from the moment a new hire accepts the role.

Branded Job Descriptions

Many companies fail to realize they are marketing to employees when trying to attract talent, often putting dry, overly wordy, and poorly organized job descriptions in front of candidates. Grey steps up to provide complimentary, professionally designed job descriptions that leverage the power of your company’s brand to inspire top talent to choose you over your competitors.
