Hiring isn’t just about filling vacancies. It’s about building the capability your business needs to grow, compete and deliver. Every stage of your recruitment journey, from how and where roles are advertised to how candidates experience your application process, shapes who applies, who drops out, and who ultimately joins your organisation.
For many SMEs and growing businesses, recruitment processes develop organically over time. What worked when you hired five people a year may not work when you’re hiring fifteen. Small inefficiencies can quietly increase time-to-hire, raise reliance on agencies, and reduce the quality of applicants reaching interview stage.
Maybe you’re actually just about to make your first ever hire and you don’t know where to start?
Our Recruitment & Hiring Health Check is designed to help businesses of all sizes find the right people, without expensive agency costs, by reviewing your current processes and showing you where small, smart changes can make a measurable difference.
Lamplighter Digital is a Marketing Agency specialising in Recruitment Marketing, sometimes called Talent Attraction (or various other terms!).
Lamplighter is based in Birmingham and was created by me, Steven. I’m a Digital Marketing expert with a passion getting the right talent into the right jobs and helping both organisation and candidate in their pursuit of success.
I have worked with large, FTSE 250 brands, helping them build a talent attraction strategy that defines and showcases Employer Brand, finds and targets the right talent and build engaging processes to seamlessly facilitate its entry into the business while reducing agency spend and driving better ROI for TA budgets.
I’m a huge advocate for great Candidate Experiences, believing that engaging every candidate like a customer brings a wealth of operational and commercial benefits down the line.
And a great candidate experience needn’t be an out-there, ‘interview in an Escape Room’ type process. It simply needs to be a smooth journey, built around honest and clear company values so that well-aligned candidates are excited to apply, are happy and proud employees from day one and are driven to succeed within your company for years to come.
Use the form at the top of this page to book a call time and provide some details about your business.
We’ll do some research into your business and the sector you’re hiring in ahead of your call.
On the call, we’ll discuss how you currently advertise and recruit, where your applications typically come from and the key challenges you face when recruiting.
After the call, we’ll provide you with a summary of our discussion, the strengths and weaknesses of your current processes and some practical recommendations for you to try next time you are recruiting.
We’ll also include some ways that we at Lamplighter Digital can support you in attracting and hiring the best people when you come to your next key hire.
AI search is when people ask tools like ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overview, or other assistants for recommendations, for example, “What’s the best accountant in Solihull?” or “Where can I find a good SEO consultant near me?”
These assistants will generate answers to these queries based on the information it can pull from across the web, including business websites, review sites and directories.
Not at all. The report is written in plain English, designed for business owners, not developers.
We’ll also present the findings to you on a follow up call, giving you the chance to ask any questions you have and get as much clarity as you need.
It’s genuinely free for Chamber of Commerce members – no hidden costs and no commitments.
We’ve spent a lot of time learning how AI will impact traditional SEO, search trends and how customers come to interact with businesses in the future.
We really want to help local businesses improve their visibility with AI, so we’re offering this free audit to highlight where they should focus and offer our services if they would like to improve in this area.
Not at all. The audit and consultation come with no expectations on our part.
Whether you decide to implement the recommendations yourself, with your team, or with another provider is entirely up to you.
However, we would love to work with you if you were looking to launch a project to improve your GEO and/or SEO.
We’ll aim to have your audit complete within 3 – 5 working days. If your website is large or especially complex, it may take a little longer but we’ll keep you informed.
Once we have completed your audit, we’ll send you some times for a follow up call to go through the results.
All we need are a few basic details – your name and your business name, a contact email address, your website URL and a brief description of the industry/business you work in.
Absolutely. In fact, small businesses have the most to gain because AI search levels the playing field. It often prioritises clarity and relevance over size or budget so there is a huge opportunity to compete in a way that traditional search often makes difficult.
