New member benefit: Stuart Maxwell Recruitment offer

BPCA has reached an agreement with pest control recruitment company Stuart Maxwell Recruitment to offer members preferential rates.

Stuart Maxwell Recruitment help pest management companies source staff to fill their job vacancies quickly. 

Springboard Recruit special members offer for BPCA members only

Normally, this service would cost 15% of the employees first-year salary. BPCA members will get a special rate of 10% (a saving of £1,250 on a £25K salaried technicians role). You'll also get a free replacement guarantee, meaning if you are not satisfied with the candidate, Stuart Maxwell Recruitment will replace the candidate for free within the first three months.

You will not be charged a fee if the employer chooses not to hire shortlisted candidates at interview.

This member benefit is available to use for all membership categories, but will be particularly useful for ambitious and growing BPCA Servicing members.

Staff are one of, if not the highest expense an organisation has. I speak to many companies in the UK who have identified recruitment as a challenge, and I hope the partnership with Springboard gives them some support in this area.

Kevin Higgins, BPCA Membership Manager
