Permanent recruitment for employers
Find people for your next long-term hire
Recruiting a permanent employee starts with knowing what the business needs from the role. Axfar supports Glasgow employers with recruitment for ongoing vacancies across its driving, warehouse, hospitality, office, production, facilities and retail sectors.
Whether you are replacing a colleague or expanding the team, share the responsibilities, salary range and working pattern. We can discuss the recruitment approach, candidate requirements and next steps for your vacancy.
Our team is based in Bellshill and supports employers in Glasgow and Central Scotland as part of Axfar’s UK-wide recruitment service. If you also need temporary cover while recruiting, include that as a separate requirement.
Replacement hires
Explain the responsibilities the new person will take over and any handover window. Distinguish essential experience from skills that can be developed in the role.
Growing teams
Describe the extra workload or service behind the vacancy. Set out reporting lines, expected responsibilities and what a successful first few months would involve.
Operational roles
Discuss permanent drivers, warehouse staff and production employees. Include shift patterns, equipment, licences and the working environment alongside the salary.
Business support
Enquire about office, administration, sales and support roles. Explain the systems used, customer contact, workload and level of responsibility involved.
Build a vacancy people can understand
A precise job brief helps make recruitment discussions more useful and gives candidates a clearer picture of the opportunity.
Define the vacancy
Share the job description, salary range, location, hours, benefits and essential criteria. Identify who will make the hiring decision.
Agree the recruitment approach
Discuss the candidate profile, screening priorities, interview stages and expected timescale with Axfar, together with the fees and terms.
Plan interviews and the start
Set aside interview availability and a feedback contact. Discuss notice periods, any required checks and your onboarding arrangements before confirming a start.
Separate essential from desirable
A long wish list can make the role harder to explain. Identify the skills needed on day one, the duties the person will own and the training available after joining. Include a realistic salary range and clear hours.
For administration and support vacancies, explore office recruitment. For factory and operational hires, see production recruitment. Describe the role itself rather than relying on a job title alone.
