A brand new service that reduces SME's annual recruitment costs by up to 60% has been launched by Blusource, the multi-disciplinary search and selection consultancy covering the legal, accountancy, banking and executive sectors.

Brainchild of Chris Bailey, director of Blusource Executive, the service offers small to medium sized businesses a range of features which have previously only been available to large national and multi-national Corporates. Blu-way offers full service recruitment management through one contact, yet offers a complete HR division working at all levels from CEOs to junior executives whatever the job role or business function. The benefits impact immediately: a reduction in advertising costs; eliminates time wasted in the search and selection process; provides immediate access to search services and candidate databases and also provides outplacement and redundancy support where required. Add to this the benefit of spreading the costs of the service over a 12 month period, and it is easy to see how many SMEs can reduce recruitment costs by up to 60%.

"Although the need to continue the search and selection process for any business wishing to develop will always be important, as we slowly emerge from the pressures of recession the requirement for an in-house, full-time HR team is not viewed as essential," said Chris who came to Blusource after heading a highly specialised international search and selection business in Bermuda. 

"Blu-way is the ideal solution for businesses which have had to reduce HR costs, yet still require the life-blood of any organisation - good people! It is the best of all things, a simple, cost-effective, efficient and professional service through one contact."

The new service perfectly complements the existing Blusource portfolio which includes Blu-light solutions designed to help with pressing or urgent business problems and Blu-vision which supports the management of planned change, such as an MBO, merger or acquisitions.

Well known entrepreneur and Blusource CEO Andrew Springhall commented: "The Blusource network of contacts in all the professional sectors such as accountancy, corporate banking, ABLs, the legal sector, funders and turnaround specialists through to manufacturing consultants and marketeers is second to none. Signing up for the Blu-way service is a gateway to more than just a cost effective HR solution, it is entry to a wider business community that can support, enhance and help expand a business. It is the type of full service commitment for which Blusource is becoming increasingly recognised."
