myinhouserecruitment launches to gives SMEs in-house sourcing

The external recruitment arm of property investment franchise Platinum Property Partners (PPP), myinhouserecruitment.co.uk, officially launches tomorrow.
Mon, 31 Mar 2014 The external recruitment arm of property investment franchise Platinum Property Partners (PPP), myinhouserecruitment.co.uk, officially launches tomorrow.

Founded by PPP’s recruitment manager Matthew Edge-Wilkins, myinhouserecruitment is an internal headhunting service for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) that don’t have the budget to pay recruitment agency fees or fund an in-house department, Edge-Wilkins tells Recruiter.

Brought in nearly three years ago to head up PPP’s recruitment and HR, Edge-Wilkins has been sourcing roles not only for the property company but also its business affiliates – Tribos Coatings and Peace One Day. “I recruit for PPP and its affiliates,” he says, “but we don’t advertise [vacancies] and candidates don’t register.”

Edge-Wilkins prefers to target and engage with passive candidates who are the right fit for the businesses and really focus on sourcing the best people. And as a result, “we’ve been doing a small amount of external recruitment since July 2013”, he says.

myinhouserecruitment.co.uk will make use of the strong personal networks that have been built up since Edge-Wilkins joined PPP and so will be able to offer headhunting and recruitment services to other SMEs, new ventures and property companies at a cost-effective price.
