Recruitment Robin, a leading recruitment and HR support agency based in Newcastle-under-Lyme, has officially launched its brand-new Retained Recruitment Service, offering a flexible, affordable, and smarter way for SMEs to hire the talent they need—without the hefty upfront costs.
Designed to support the unique financial challenges faced by small and medium-sized enterprises, the new service enables businesses to spread their recruitment fees across manageable monthly instalments. This means they can now invest in key hires without the usual financial pressure, enabling steady and sustainable business growth.
“At Recruitment Robin, we work closely with SMEs every day, and we see firsthand how difficult it can be to grow a team when you’re trying to manage cash flow,” says Selina Rudzik, Managing Director of Recruitment Robin. “We wanted to remove that barrier, so we’ve created a recruitment solution that allows businesses to hire when they need to—without the financial strain. It’s all about flexibility, affordability, and getting the right people in place to help businesses thrive.”
Whether a business is hiring a single employee or needs ongoing recruitment support, Recruitment Robin’s retainer model is designed to adapt to their needs. Clients can now spread the cost of recruitment over several months, allowing for better cash flow management and easier budgeting. Rather than paying a large one-off fee, businesses can recruit in a way that suits their growth and financial planning.
For businesses with multiple hiring needs, the retainer model offers further flexibility. Clients pay a fixed monthly fee and gain access to candidate ‘credits’ that can be used at any point during their contract period. This means they can recruit as and when needed without incurring unpredictable costs.
Additionally, the service covers a wide range of employment types, including permanent employees, freelancers, contractors, apprentices, and can also enable hiring managers to recruit skilled individuals to their talent bank for hire at a later date.
As part of the retainer package, clients also benefit from priority recruitment services. This ensures that roles are filled faster and with greater care, giving businesses confidence in the hiring process and peace of mind should any appointment not work out.
Since its soft launch earlier this year, Recruitment Robin has already welcomed a number of retained SME clients who are using the model to hire key team members while maintaining financial stability. The agency is also in active discussions with several organisations about becoming a preferred supplier, with the aim of offering this innovative solution to their wider client networks.
This latest development builds on Recruitment Robin’s strong reputation for person-centric recruitment solutions, connecting the right people to the right opportunities across Staffordshire and beyond. The agency’s ongoing mission is to help businesses grow through smarter, more sustainable hiring practices, and the Retained Recruitment Service is a natural next step.
“Recruitment shouldn’t be a luxury—it should be a tool for growth,” adds Selina. “This service puts power back in the hands of business owners. They don’t need to delay key hires anymore, and they don’t need to take on the workload alone. We’re here to help them build the teams they need to succeed—on terms that work for them.”
