The “Post and Pray” Model Is Broken

We know the frustration that clients face. You spend time writing a detailed job advert for a Skilled Engineer, a Warehouse Operative or a Commercial Administrator. You post it online and wait for the candidate to arrive.

The results? Your inbox explodes.

But when you look closer, it is a mess with candidates who are not suitable, don’t live in the right location, have not read the job, have no skills or have shown little to no effort with their application.

The reason is that the recruitment market has changed and job boards have made it too easy for candidates to apply without thinking or in some cases, without fully reading the advert.

The Rise of the “Scattergun” Approach

Candidates are no longer reading your adverts. They are clicking Apply All to hit a quota or out of panic. This behavior is killing your productivity and wasting your budget.

You are seeing:

  • Zero Attention to Detail: Applicants who haven’t read a single word of your requirements.
  • The Geography Problem: Candidates living 100 miles away from your site with no intention of relocating.
  • Missing Qualifications: People who simply don’t have the licences or skills you asked for.
  • A Lack of Interest: People applying because they feel they have to, not because they want to.

Suddenly, you aren’t doing your actual day job anymore. You are spending hours filtering through expensive noise just to find one person who is actually qualified.

The “Rinse and Repeat” Recruitment Cycle

To make matters worse, most agencies aren’t helping you solve this. They are part of the problem.

Too many recruiters have no other method of attracting candidates. They have no secret network and no strategy. They simply practice the same “rinse and repeat” method as everyone else.

You have probably seen it happen. You get the same candidate submitted by three different agencies.

Or even worse, you look at an agency’s job board and see a carbon copy of your own advert. They haven’t added value. They have just copy-and-pasted your hard work.

It leaves you asking a very painful question:

“Why am I paying thousands in recruitment fees for something that I can already do myself for free?”

The SolviT Difference

At SolviT Recruitment, we saw this market shift coming many years ago and we knew that fishing in the same drained pool as everyone else was a waste of time.

If we just used the same job boards you have access to then we wouldn’t be adding any value.

Instead, we use targeted attraction methods that go beyond the standard platforms.

  • We don’t rely on luck.
  • We find the candidates who are hiding from AI madness.
  • We find the people who specifically want to work in Manufacturing, Engineering, Logistics and Commercial roles.

Giving You Your Time Back

Our promise is simple.

We filter out the junk, so you don’t have to.

  • We verify the commute.
  • We check the licenses / training certificates.
  • We assess the attitude.
  • We vet the candidate rigorously before you ever see a name.

Whether you need a temporary driver for a last-minute shift or a permanent key hire, we manage the entire project from start to finish.

Let’s Fix Your Recruitment Process

You pay hiring managers to manage, not to filter through junk mail. If you are tired of the noise, let’s talk about a better way to recruit.
