End-to-end recruitment support

We start by having a conversation with you to understand what you’re looking for – your hiring goals, any challenges you’re facing, and how your team works. From there, we’ll shape a recruitment plan that fits you, whether you need support from start to finish or just a hand with certain steps.

Managing the Live Ad

Once the ad is up, we don’t just sit back. We actively monitor how it’s performing, update wording if needed, and make sure it’s reaching the right people throughout the campaign.

When done well, recruitment can …

Attract the Right People

Good recruitment isn’t about more applicants – it’s about the right ones. Done well, it brings in candidates who truly fit your business and your values.

Save Time and Reduce Stress

With a clear, structured process, recruitment doesn’t have to feel like a full-time job. It becomes smoother, quicker, and far less overwhelming for your team.

Strengthen Your Team

Hiring the right people builds stronger, more capable teams – and helps you achieve more, faster.

Improve Staff Retention

When you hire well, people stay longer. They feel like they belong, know what’s expected, and see a future with you.

Protect Your Employer Brand

Thoughtful communication with every candidate, even those not selected, leaves a positive impression and reflects well on your organisation.

Reduce Hiring Costs

A well-run hiring process can save you a lot in the long run – no hefty agency fees, and fewer costly mistakes from hiring the wrong person.

I would highly recommend speaking with Vivo HR. We chose them three years ago based on a trusted partner's recommendation, and it has proved to be a good decision. As an SME, maintaining best practice and compliance with rapid changes in HR is tough, but their pragmatic, straightforward, and transparent advice makes it much easier. They provide excellent, reliable support in a very challenging business environment.

We've used vivoHR as our HR consultants for several years now, working with Sarah-Louise on a number of issues over that time. Originally through personal recommendation, the service offered is very professional and comes with knowledge, experience and patience(!) I'm more than happy to highly recommend them.

Sam provided our managers at Clarke and Son Solicitors with Performance Management Training at the end of April. Her half day session was informative and engaging, balancing management theory with practical tasks to help upskill the team. Given the upcoming changes to employment legislation I felt our managers left the training fully equipped to manage performance across their teams with more confidence. Thanks Sam, it was a pleasure to have you help us.

We’ve had a great experience working with vivoHR. They’ve been a real support in helping us stay up to date with employment regulations and making sure we remain compliant. They are also always there when we need a second opinion or just a quick sanity check. What really stands out is how they explain everything. No jargon, no overcomplicating things - just clear, straightforward advice that is easy to understand and act on. Running a business comes with enough to think about, so having that level of support and clarity makes a big difference. Would happily recommend to any business owner who wants peace of mind around HR.

I asked Sarah-Louise from VivoHR to speak about the new Employment Rights Act for an event with local business owners. She was excellent. Her friendly and approachable style meant that, what can be a dry subject, became an engaging, useful summary of essential actions. I will definitely ask her to speak again at more of our events. Her expertise in HR shone through. Thank you again Sarah-Louise for your time and support.
