250 Jobs for Belfast

A question about : 250 Jobs for Belfast

Hi,

I see Alexander Mann solutions have officially launched their new services from Belfast this week. What exactly does this company do? I thought it was purely a recruitment firm but their site talks about outsourcing and management support etc.

Best answers:

• Belfast is seen as a low cost centre for professional services in the UK, hence the likes of Citi, Allen and Overy, PwC. etc have a lot of their back office, support and operations sites here....... well educated graduates but low pay compared to a lot of other parts of the UK.... My OH worked for one of them for a few years and the staff in Belfast in a lot of the business were paid about half that of those doing a similar role in London......
  Not saying it's a bad thing, a jobs a job at the end of the day and they do tend to pay higher than average for Northern Ireland...
  I think they do offer "executive" recruitment and head hunting but also put staff into companies to run their functions in house like recruitment, HR, etc...... AFAIK anyway....
• On the salary side of things these companies tend to use an external benchmark such as Hays, this will give them a guideline salary for a role in question and also the region. Pitching in and around that mark should secure them a person with the right skills/experience from the local market. The problem is where they can't get someone local and then have to up the stakes to attract in someone from the mainland putting them out of sync with the rest of the workforce.
• They do seem like a good company and a great addition for Belfast.
  I'm not exactly sure what they do, do they work with companies who approach them and find whatever personnel said company is looking for.
