[H2] What is HR Consulting?

HR consulting is when a third party provides specialist advice, support or services to businesses to help maximise their efficiency in relation to human resources. From implementing new policies and procedures to managing disciplinary meeting, HR firms can support you where help is needed.
Using a freelance service means issues are handled by an outsiders’ perspective and no bias is shown. Many companies value these types of opinions as it brings another point of view to the table. More and more businesses throughout the UK are choosing to use independent HR firms.

[H2] Recruitment Consultant in Middlesbrough

Here at MBHR Consulting, we can offer our services as a recruitment consultant to businesses across the Middlesbrough area. Recruitment is the process of appointing the right person, in the right place, at the right time. It is crucial to organisational performance. All those involved in recruitment activities should be equipped with the appropriate knowledge and skills. The direct and indirect cost of making the wrong appointments are phenomenal and therefore the entire process of recruitment is critical, not just for HR practitioners but also for line managers who are increasingly involved in the selection process.
The importance of diversity should be taken into account at each stage of the recruitment process. All those involved in recruitment activities should be equipped with the appropriate knowledge and skills. Processes and systems should be regularly reviewed to ensure hidden bias is removed and to ensure talent is not being blocked from entering the organisation. Everyone taking part in activities such as shortlisting and interviewing should be aware of relevant legislation such as the equality act and the importance of avoiding discrimination.
Whether you need a whole system review to check you are legally compliant and efficient within your own processes or to review your selection methods used to improve the appointments made and your organisations turnover, retention, employee stability and engagement. We will utilise its expertise in employment law, best practice and LEAN methodologies to provide you with the necessary advice, guidance, recommendations and action plans to improve your recruitment and retention and ultimately your organisations performance. When it comes to recruitment in Middlesbrough, be sure to contact MBHR Consulting today.

[IMG: Recruitment]

[H2] Our Recruitment Process and Strategy
[H4] Defining The Role

Before recruiting for a new or existing position, it is important to invest time in gathering information about the nature of the job. This means thinking not only about the content (such as the tasks) making up outputs and behaviours required by the job holder but also the job’s purpose and how it fits into the organisation’s structure. The job analysis informs the content of the job description providing a clear guide to all involved in the recruitment process the requirements of the job. Following the appointment of the successful candidate it then forms the key document to reinforce expectations about performance and behaviour to employees and managers to help ensure effective performance in the job. A person specification or job profile states the essential and desirable criteria for selection. Increasingly such specifications are based on a set of competencies and behaviours identified as necessary for the performance of the job.

[H4] Attracting Applications

It is important not to forget the internal talent pool when recruiting. Providing opportunities for development and career progression increases employee engagement and retention and supports succession planning. The cost of recruiting externally is far greater than internal recruitment and organisations should invest their efforts in external recruits for entry level jobs and place a much greater emphasis on internal candidates with the right outputs, behaviours and attitude for any higher level posts, supporting individuals with potential with the appropriate management and skills development. However, getting the internal pipeline moving can take time, if this is a new focus and therefore if you do need to source your new recruits externally there are many options available for generating interest. Depending on the nature of the role, whether it is highly skilled or not will depend on the methods that you choose.
Trade press, newspapers, on commercial job boards and on the organisation’s website.
Social networking sites are also increasingly being used as part of the recruitment process.
Recommend a friend can be useful for finding like-minded individuals
Advertisements, whether online or on paper, should be clear and indicate the:
Job purpose and requirements
Essential and the desirable criteria
Location
Reward package
Contract type
How to apply

[H4] Managing Applications and Selection

There are two main formats in which applications are likely to be received: the curriculum vitae (CV) or the application form. It is possible that these could be submitted either on paper or electronically. Application forms allow for information to be presented in a consistent format, and therefore make it easier to collect information from job applicants in a systematic way and assess objectively the candidate’s suitability for the job.
The advantage of CVs is that they give candidates the opportunity to sell themselves in their own way and don’t restrict the fitting of information into boxes which often happens on application forms. However, CVs make it possible for candidates to include lots of additional, irrelevant material which may make them harder to assess consistently.
The recruitment process is not just about employers identifying suitable employees for the future, it’s also about candidates finding out more about the business, and considering whether the organisation is one where they would like to work for. The experience of candidates (both successful and unsuccessful) at each stage of the recruitment process will impact on their view of the organisation. This could be both from the perspective of a potential employee and, depending on the nature of the business, as a customer.
Selecting candidates involves two main processes: shortlisting and assessing applicants. Selection decisions should be made after using a range of tools appropriate to the time and resources available. Care should be taken to use techniques which are relevant to the job and the business objectives of the organisation. All tools used should be validated and constantly reviewed to ensure their fairness and reliability.
The reliability of each recruitment method is detailed below
Structured Interview (0.2)
References (0.1)
Ability Tests (0.4)
Assessment Centres (0.5)
Psychometric Testing (0.35)
No single method of selection on their own will find the best candidate for your job or your organisation and the most commonly used methods (interviewing and references) is one of the most unreliable methods.

[H4] References

Employers should state clearly how references will be used, at what stage of the recruitment they will be taken up and what kind of references will be necessary (for example, from former employers, professional, character). These rules should be applied consistently. References are most frequently sought after the applicant has been given a ‘provisional offer’. However it is increasingly common practice to incorporate obtaining references into a ‘clearance stage’ before any offer of employment is made.

[H4] Medical Examinations

The Equality Act 2010 makes it unlawful to ask candidates to complete a medical questionnaire before being offered a job. Only essential medical issues should be discussed at this stage. However, any particular physical or medical requirement should be made clear in the job advertisement or other recruitment literature and employers are recommended to ask candidates whether they require any reasonable adjustments making to any of the proposed assessment activities during the recruitment process. Employers should also take care before making selection decisions relating to a candidate’s mental or physical health. They need to think creatively and innovatively about where they can make reasonable adjustments, such as flexible working, where someone has a disability.

[H4] Documentation

The recruitment process should be documented accurately and access limited to recruitment staff. It is good practice to monitor applications and decisions to ensure that equality of opportunity is being allowed. Information should be kept for sufficient time to allow for any complaints to be handled. Unsuccessful candidates should be notified promptly in writing and if possible given feedback. As a minimum, feedback on any psychometric test results should be given.

[H4] Employment Offer

Offers of employment should always be made in writing. But it is important to be aware that a verbal offer of employment made in an interview is as legally binding as a letter to the candidate. Employers must also be aware of the legal requirements of and what information should be given in the written terms and conditions of employment.

[H4] Joining The Organisation

Employers must be aware of their responsibility to ensure that the successful candidate has the right to work in the UK before their employment commences. If an employee commences on day 1 and has not proven their right to work in the UK with relevant identity documents the organisation could be liable for fines up to £20,000. Therefore it is essential to have conducted such checks at a ‘clearance stage’ of the recruitment process and ideally before any offer of employment has been made.
A well-planned induction enables new employees to become fully operational quickly and should be seamlessly integrated into the recruitment process. Attrition rates of new starters within an organisation are a clear indication of how effective the recruitment and induction process are. Anything more than 10% within the first 12 months of employment suggests that recruitment and / or the induction process leaves room for improvements.

For more information or if you’d like to discuss any of the services we offer, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. One of our team is always on hand to assist.

Contact Us
[H3] Assessment Centres

Assessment centres involve candidates completing a number of different tasks as part of the selection process. An assessment centre should reflect the reality of the job and the organisation. The tasks set should link with the job description and person specification. It must be fair as a selection process regarding the time taken, the number of tasks set and the opportunities for candidates to show different aspects of their abilities. Group exercises should be as realistic as possible, should outline clear goals and time-limited, should require candidates to share information and reach decisions and should require the candidates to pay attention to details within the instructions. Depending on the nature of the job, the tasks might include:
Individual or group work
Written and / or oral presentations (set in advance)
Written and / or oral presentations (set on the day)
Individual or group in-tray exercises
Individual or group problem solving tasks
Individual or group role play
Individual technical tests, such as audio typing, data input, data sort etc
There should be a number of senior observers/selectors to ensure greater objectivity through a range of views. Selectors must be trained to observe, record, classify and rate behaviour, and seek evidence accurately and objectively against the job description and person specification. Selectors preferably should also have had some training on interviewing skills and in managing diversity, and have good listening skills. Assessors might also be used to observe and comment on behaviour although they do not necessarily take part in final selection decisions. A feedback session with either an occupational psychologist or someone trained to deliver professional feedback is of benefit to candidates and indicates the organisation takes selection seriously. The whole process should be perceived as fair by the candidates.

[H3] Talent Management

With competition in the marketplace challenging profit margins, through team engagement, your people will be your biggest differentiator. However, knowing how to identify and build an awesome place to work or an organisation that builds motivated and engaged teams that are fit for growth isn’t for the faint-hearted and it requires investment and focus on the talent that is its people. Staying ahead of the market means that organisation need to continually adapt to customer needs. This requires a flexible workforce that is committed to the values and success of the organisation and a workforce that has the potential to develop and grow at the same pace as the organisation. Two key driving forces to successful talent management lie within the recruitment & selection and performance management process.
It is essential to select new recruits based on great behaviours, attitude and potential as well as skills and abilities and once engaged in employment, by using your performance management process positively engage them within the very core that is your organisation and ensure they know how to ‘get on’ and progress their careers internally. Our team at MBHR Consulting can support your organisation to identify your talent management and succession plans over the next 3, 5 and 10 years. We will do this using systematic and fair positive performance management techniques that measure outputs, behaviours and potential to progress, leadership and management development and robust, reliable recruitment and selection methods.

Running a small business in the North East brings many rewards, but it also comes with its fair share of HR problems. From managing staff to complying with changing employment law, the demands of human resources management can take up valuable time and affect growth. For many SMEs, trying to manage HR in-house teams adds pressure that pulls focus away from the wider business.
At MBHR Consulting Ltd, we work with organisations across the region to provide HR consultancy services that resolve these challenges. Below, we explore five of the most common issues faced by SMEs and explain how expert support can make a real difference.
[H3] 1. Unclear HR Policies
Many small businesses start with informal arrangements but struggle when those practices no longer meet legal or operational needs. Without clear HR policies, managers often handle issues inconsistently, which leads to misunderstandings and even disputes.
Creating tailored policies is one of the most effective steps you can take. From contracts and handbooks to equality policies, our HR consultants North East ensure every document is legally compliant and practical for daily use. This gives you confidence that your HR department or managers are applying rules fairly and consistently.

[IMG: squabbling employees inside business meeting across table]

[H3] 2. Limited Time to Manage HR In-House Teams
Owners and directors of SMEs often find themselves wearing multiple hats, including HR. Trying to manage HR in-house teams without specialist support can quickly become overwhelming. Routine tasks such as absence monitoring, performance reviews, or handling grievances take up weekly hours.
Outsourcing is often the most efficient solution. Our HR outsourcing services give you access to a friendly team of experts who manage these responsibilities on your behalf. This approach reduces the cost of mistakes, frees up your time, and ensures your employees get the support they need.
[H3] 3. Staying Compliant with Employment Law
UK employment law changes frequently, and missing an update can create serious risks. From holiday pay calculations to right-to-work checks, the legal requirements can be complex for SMEs without dedicated HR staff.
Working with HR experts ensures your organisation remains compliant. At MBHR Consulting Ltd, we provide expert guidance on new legislation, review your processes, and update your HR documentation to avoid penalties. This proactive support allows you to focus on running your business with confidence that every step of your HR management is legally sound.
[H3] 4. Handling Workplace Disputes
Disagreements between staff or managers and employees are inevitable, but how they are handled makes a huge difference. Poorly managed disputes can damage morale, reduce productivity, and harm your reputation.
Our HR consultancy services include mediation and conflict resolution, helping you address disputes before they escalate. We also train managers to deal with issues consistently and professionally. With our a huge range of focus expertise, we support SMEs across sectors to manage people challenges effectively and maintain positive working environments.

[IMG: excellent leader in company talking to colleagues]

[H3] 5. Supporting Employee Development
SMEs often struggle to provide structured development opportunities. Without investment in training and progression, staff engagement drops, and turnover increases. For small businesses, losing skilled people has a big impact.
We design performance management systems and development programmes that align with your goals. From coaching managers to introducing succession planning, we give your business the tools to retain talent. With tailored HR consultancy, you gain a motivated workforce and reduce recruitment costs.

Recruitment is one of the most important functions in any organisation. Whether you run a small business in Stockton on Tees or manage a larger company across the North East, the ability to appoint the right person for each role directly affects your long-term success. Many businesses now turn to recruitment agencies in Stockton-on-Tees to gain expert support in this vital area.
At MBHR Consulting, we provide professional recruitment services designed to help you manage the entire selection process. From writing effective job descriptions to onboarding the successful candidate, our methods ensure compliance with all legal requirements while delivering measurable results.

[IMG: What Qualities Make A Good Manager?]

[H2] Why Is The Selection Process So Important?
A structured selection process saves you time, reduces the risk of hiring mistakes, and ensures you find the best candidate for each role. Without a straightforward process, you face higher costs, wasted resources, and the possibility of repeated turnover.
Proper recruitment is also important for your brand. Candidates judge your company not only by the outcome of the interview but also by the way you handle communication, feedback, and fairness. A poor experience could affect your reputation in the job market, while a positive one encourages future interest in your jobs and positions.
[H3] What Role Does The Job Market Play In Stockton on Tees?
The job market in Stockton-on-Tees is competitive, with employers across various sectors seeking to attract the same pool of candidates. From technical roles and logistics to healthcare and mental health services, every industry is under pressure to recruit effectively.
You gain access to a broader pool of applicants by working with local recruitment services. Recruitment professionals understand the local market and can guide you on salary expectations, contract terms, and the currently in-demand skills. This knowledge allows you to design more effective campaigns that attract the right person.
[H3] How Do Recruitment Services Reduce Risk For Your Business?
Hiring the wrong candidate costs far more than their salary. It wastes management time, reduces productivity, and can damage your team dynamic. Sometimes, it may also expose your organisation to legal or compliance risks if the selection process has not followed UK employment law.
Professional recruitment services reduce these risks by applying proven methods. MBHR Consulting uses structured interviews, ability assessments, and role-specific tasks to identify the most suitable candidates. Each step is documented, consistent, and legally compliant, protecting your company and candidates.

[IMG: Hr consultant newcastle]

[H3] What Support Can You Expect From MBHR Consulting?
We support you throughout the entire recruitment journey. This starts with defining the role and clarifying the responsibilities and abilities needed. We then help you create effective job adverts that reflect the importance of the role while remaining clear and accessible to all applicants.
During shortlisting, we apply objective measures to ensure only the most suitable candidates move forward. Once the best candidate has been selected, we assist with onboarding, induction, and early-stage performance reviews. This complete service ensures each new position delivers long-term value to your organisation.
[H3] How Do Recruitment Services Support Mental Health And Diversity?
Every selection process should be inclusive. That means considering adjustments for mental health needs, ensuring fair access for all applicants, and removing hidden bias from recruitment practices.
At MBHR Consulting, we train hiring teams to remain aware of equality laws and to assess candidates based on merit alone. This creates a fairer process for everyone and helps your business attract a broader range of talent. In today’s UK job market, this approach is not only ethical but also a competitive advantage.
[H3] What Are The Benefits Of Ongoing Recruitment Support?
Recruitment does not end when a candidate signs their contract. For true success, you must support them as they integrate into your team. A structured induction reduces turnover and improves motivation, while ongoing training develops skills that benefit both the candidate and your organisation.
We also provide advice on talent management and succession planning. This means you always have the right resources to support future growth. By planning ahead, you can avoid the stress of last-minute recruiting and manage your workforce more strategically.
[H4] How MBHR Consulting helps you succeed
