HR Resourcing
"We have no difficulty finding the leaders. They have people following them."
Do It Yourself!
We have developed a range of new services and ‘unbundled’ a number of our existing ones in order to support the growing trend among client organisations to manage their own resourcing activity.
Summaries of some of our key services are outlined below.
For further information on any of these, or to find out how we may tailor the resourcing process to meet your needs, please contact a member of the Courtenay HR team on: 020 8332 7656.

Talent network development and management - building your own capability…
Building your own resourcing team inhouse, and your own pipeline of talent can be hard work but don’t be put off. Using our own HR expertise we can help you develop the required inhouse resources and/or a network of talented professionals. If you require, we can harness our contact management capability to maintain your network on your behalf.
Creating your own capability and network can significantly reduce the cost and disruption of hiring and the dependency on external recruiting organisations. For more information on our ability in this area.
Shortcut to Talent - building your own pipeline of talent...
We run a variety of events and initiatives that provide our partners with access to the top talent in the market. Our networks are very strong, as is our brand, which gives us exclusive access to this talent pool, regardless of their drive to make the next move. These networks trust us to introduce them to quality organisations with meaningful career opportunities, even when they are not actively looking. Likewise, our partners subscribe to meeting talented individuals (the future leaders of HR) even if they do not have an immediate need.
These mechanisms ensure that both parties are in touch with the next best opportunity and have a much better perspective on what is available. This means that for both parties, the process, hassle, risk and ultimately cost of making the move is reduced considerably.
Staged Research - knowing who’s out there...
We can provide staged research should you be interested in making direct approaches to candidates yourself. This research can be simply an ID report of the likely candidates within a targeted range of companies or sectors or can be a detailed report of background, remuneration, likely next step etc. This approach work well when used to develop your own talent network.
Individual Assessment - benchmarking thoroughly and consistently...
The Courtenay HR Beta Map™ has been specifically designed to fill a gap in the assessment of HR professionals. Based on the work of industry thought leaders, including David Ulrich, and incorporating character, workstyle and experience mapping the Courtney HR Beta Map™ sets the standard in benchmarking HR talent.
Every HR professional we meet, whether it be for a specific opportunity or for an informal career discussion goes through this assessment, which is included as part of our standard service to clients.
In addition, the system has been designed for clients to use for themselves if they wish. We wanted to create something that is robust enough to be used independently by clients should they embark on their own resourcing projects, which seems to be a growing trend. The system comes with complete user instructions, templates and implementation support.

Assessment Centres - putting them through their paces...
Building on our profiling techniques and our understanding of the critical success factors in HR, we have designed an assessment centre process, which can be incorporated into an assignment process or delivered stand alone as a candidate benchmarking exercise. It is particularly useful as a stand-alone project for either assessment of HR professionals in situ, or to benchmark a number of potential candidates where multiple hires are taking place (perhaps in a regional setting) and the candidates have been sourced from a number of independent routes. In this context a common, consistent benchmarking of quality can be obtained.
If a more focused approach needs to be taken to overall recruitment activity we are happy to offer vendor management services. Our experience of resourcing means we are well placed to deliver this kind of activity, including the possibility of onsite support if appropriate.
