About us

Yala was established by Jamie Groom and Barry Prost in 2018, to provide a high-quality

recruitment and management consultancy. We provide a bespoke recruitment process

management service for projects in Ireland and Europe.

We have a team of passionate, expert recruiters with a track record of delivering

‘embedded’, cost effective recruitment solutions and sourcing the best available talent

in the market.

We were shortlisted in 2019 for Best New Agency by the National Recruitment

Federation.

As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility agenda, we are currently working with

Specialisterne and Nua Health to recruit and support talented people on the Autistic

Spectrum.

Our objectives:

Drive down your overall cost of talent acquisition;

Reduce your HR team’s time spent on recruitment duties;

Increase the efficiency of your company’s time-to-hire;

Release the pressure points in your current recruitment model.

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is when a company transfers all or part of its permanent recruitment to an external recruitment provider.

Today, recruitment process outsourcing has become a customisable talent acquisition solution for organisations — of all sizes — designed to improve employer branding, candidate and hiring manager experience, and to create a centralised talent pipeline, in addition to meeting hiring demands.

From our experience, the “O” in “RPO” tends to be the scary word. The idea that, as an organisation, you are losing control of your recruitment process. Which couldn’t be further from the truth. At Yala, we prefer to think of the process as being more of a great assistance to your current model and for that reason, we call our offering RPA or Recruitment Process Assistance.

RPA is still new for a lot of companies. Some may not realise that there are options in how to outsource or to improve their recruiting process, while others may stick with other solutions because that’s the way it’s always done.

Assistance

Reduce Costs

This is one of the top reasons why organisations choose an RPA solution, and it’s also one of the biggest benefits of RPA.

Many companies spend a lot of money on recruitment agencies and job boards, or waste money through high staff turnover rates.

With other companies, time is simply wasted in lengthy hiring processes or outdated (or a lack of) technology.

Yala can reduce recruiting costs by streamlining your recruiting process and showing you how to find good candidates while spending less time and money.

Time to hire

The longer a vacancy remains open, the greater the impact on an organisations performance. Yala considers reducing time to hire, as a key deliverable under our RPA models. Driving efficiencies in the recruitment process and developing superior talent attraction strategies delivers significant reductions in the time a role is vacant.

Yala works closely with hiring managers to understand specific job requirements, while also implementing service level agreements (SLAs) requiring requisitions be processed within tight time frames.

Scalability

Seasonal demands, new projects, and new processes can create urgent hiring needs. Organisations can quickly find themselves understaffed which can lead to a number of costly consequences, including lost revenue due to lower production, excess overtime, and low staff morale.

Yala provides scalability to manage the inevitable peaks and troughs in recruitment activity. It gives you access to the right talent precisely when you need it. This scalability also allows businesses to convert the fixed cost of in-house recruiting to a variable cost that adjusts as needed.
