Season 7 | Ep10 - Kyle Grainger on helping you hire highly experienced recruiters from untapped locations around the world (with up to 70% cost savings in the process)

The RAG Podcast - Recruitment Agency Growth Podcast

On this week’s show, I'm joined by Kyle Grainger, our newest RAG sponsor and the founder of a six month old recruitment agency, Untapped.

Untapped specialise in finding remote, highly experienced recruiters for recruitment agencies in UK, US, Middle East, and Australia, sourced from untapped, low cost locations such as the Philippines and South Africa.

The benefit of this model is that you can hire people with a proven track record, who don’t need too much management and training at a fraction of the cost of an equivalent hire in your location!

As you may know, 75% of Team Hoxo is based in South Africa and I can say from experience that this has been an amazing move for us!

The reason I brought Kyle on the show so early on in his journey was simple:

1. Having raw conversations with people in the first six months will give any new or aspiring recruitment owner the opportunity to find out what the beginning stages of launching a company is really like
2. I 100% believe in what these guys are doing and have already used them for sourcing our talent internally!

2023 has been a tough market and cost control has been on the agenda for most of us!

Untapped provides a cost reduction, high quality talent solution.

It's a complete no brainer. So listen up, take notes and reach out to Kyle if you're interested.

Episode Sponsor: Untapped

Safe to say it’s been a tricky year for the recruitment sector globally, many have had to operate through uncertain times, making tough calls and streamline where possible.

However, accessing lower cost resources internationally has proven to be the 2023 cheat code for business performance, but anyone who has tried it knows it’s not easy to get right. That’s where Untapped comes in.

Untapped is one of the hottest companies in the market right now helping agencies in the UK, US, Middle East and Australia transition to the new world, leverage elite remote individuals and even build whole offshore sourcing and recruiting teams.

They source from the most exciting talent pools on the planet for recruitment staff and embed elite talent into your company to improve diversity, productivity and the cost of your teams. Your UK team will also love the help with some of the repetitive, time consuming work that lands on their desk, improving their job satisfaction.

They put around 3000 candidates per month through an intense 4 stage interview and online testing process to find the top 1% and secure these people roles in UK agencies doing research, marketing, finance, sourcing, end to end recruiting, coordination and account management.

All candidates are benchmarked against UK competency frameworks and are tested for the highest level of communication and language skills.

It’s a simple process, you pay a deposit to kick off the search, they provide a candidates shortlist in 14 days, you can put people through your own process also and then hire perm or on a freelance basis depending on your need. They are totally transparent with salaries. Typically your global talent will earn 30% more than their local benchmark giving you high levels of motivation and work ethic but you’ll still pay 70% less than a UK equivalent support. It’s a no brainer to complement existing teams to handle surplus demand or to ease cost pressures.

If you’re not using this time to rip up your business model and rebuild it with global resources, you are going to fall behind those that do. Due to demand and capacity restraints, they are operating a waiting list at the moment so be quick to get in touch: www.tryuntapped.com
