Work for Us

We have a bespoke competency framework. It’s a system showing the 4 different progression pathways you can take here at Scantec. Whether your strengths are 360 recruitment, business development, resourcing or people management, there is a progression path here for you. You know from your first day what you need to do to progress and the pace of that progression is determined by you.

We regularly review the market to ensure our salaries are competitive. Transparency is important for us so, the salary bandings for each role on our competency framework are on display so everybody knows exactly where they are positioned relative to their peers.

We operate various commission and bonus schemes in our business, covering the recruitment, sales and support functions. Similar to the salary benchmarking exercises we undertake, we regularly review the market place to ensure we are competitive with the commission schemes we offer.

At present we have:

• A contract recruitment scheme;
• A permanent recruitment scheme;
• A ‘new starter’ scheme (for recruiters with less than 2 years experience);
• A People Manager scheme (recruitment managers);
• A Business Development scheme;
• A Talent Acquisition scheme; and
• A support function scheme.

Our approach to those schemes is simple – the more you contribute to the success of our business, the higher your earnings potential will be.

The company is located on the outskirts of Birkenhead on the banks of the River Mersey and operates from a purpose built site solely occupied by Scantec. The advantage of the location is that free parking is available to all staff (the car park is secured before 8am and after 6pm, Monday to Friday). You can nip to the local shops which are less that 5 minutes away. We strongly believe this is good benefit for our staff in that there is ‘no cost’ of leaving their vehicles unattended during working hours.

We offer enhanced professional training. Everyone who joins us has the opportunity to work towards a recognised recruitment qualification through the British Institute of Recruiters.

The company believes strongly in the physical and mental wellbeing of its people. Therefore fully paid for private medical cover is available to all staff once they pass their probation. The scheme offers many benefits including 24 hour Stress Counselling Helpline, dental claims up to £500, optical claims up to £300 and the ‘back to better’ service (clinical service for back, neck, muscle and joint pain).

We also offer a completely confidential Employee Assistance Helpline which offers a wide range of support for health and debt counselling support.

We offer an incentive scheme that is inclusive to all People in the business.

The range of incentives is vast and includes:

• Monthly performance awards for individuals (gift voucher);
• Annual performance awards for individuals (gift voucher and an overseas incentive trip);
• Monthly ‘high achievers club’ (lunch with our Managing Director);
• Monthly and annual performance awards for recruitment teams (team meal);
• Recruitment manager of the month (gift voucher)
• Employee of the month (demonstrating our company values) (gift voucher).

We have company funded social events and charity events throughout the year including the following:

• Charity events eg cycle challenge
• Monthly ‘Pizza Friday’
• Family Summer BBQ
• All expenses paid for ‘End of Year’ party
• Dress down Fridays
• Regular social events with contributions from the company, eg Summer Social

Annual overseas incentives trip – usually to Marbella!

At Scantec we have a private pension scheme which all staff are eligible to join. The scheme pre-dates ‘auto-enrolment’ and for many years the company has committed 5% employer’s contribution for all staff, this being above the current statutory requirement for the 2021/2022 tax year. Our Board of Directors feel strongly about encouraging people to save for their future and on that basis support with this through an enhanced contribution from the company.

The company operates a ‘Cycle to Work’ scheme. This is an HMRC approved salary sacrifice scheme.

Recruitment can be a demanding profession. We therefore recognise the importance of ‘time away from the office’ from a well-being perspective. We believe our standard annual leave allowance of 23 days plus bank holidays (31 days in total) is competitive in the market place. As progression is made on our competency framework, there will be scope to accrue additional annual leave days (up to 28 days plus bank holidays, 36 days in total).

Here at Scantec we take the personal development of our employees seriously. Our employees have regular one to ones and 6 monthly appraisals with their line managers to ensure ongoing personal development.
