6. The benefit to clients? No wasted time sifting through irrelevant CVs. Just highly qualified, pre-vetted Technical Authors who truly match your specific needs. #HiringSolutions #Recruitment #TechnicalAuthor #TechComm

5. Our networks are built on years of focused engagement within the Technical Author community. This means access to passive candidates and a clear understanding of what makes a great fit beyond keywords on a resume.

4. Without a good understanding, excellent candidates are overlooked, and clients receive mismatched profiles. Specialist agencies live and breathe Techcomm. We understand the varied job titles and the intricate tech stack. This deep knowledge is crucial for precise candidate identification.

3. What's the difference between a Technical Author, Technical Writer, Information Developer, Content Strategist, and Senior Technical Author? Not knowing also this makes finding and selecting candidates difficult.

2. The job requires soft, nuanced skills & specific tools essential for the role. It's a specialist field. This makes filtering for suitable candidates difficult.

The Specialist Edge. Why do generalist recruiters struggle to find top Technical Authors?
1. Out of the approx 2 million people working in IT in the UK, only 3K-9K are Technical Authors (and less looking for work). This makes finding candidates difficult.

4. The antidote? Expert training in policy & procedure writing. Equip your team with the skills to create clarity, consistency, & compliance.

Invest in clarity to transform hidden costs into tangible savings & robust compliance. Turn policy chaos into operational excellence.

3. Intangible costs are even higher: damaged morale, increased employee frustration, & the potential for costly legal battles or compliance fines. Is your policy manual a liability?

2. Tangible costs include wasted time resolving ambiguities, rework from misunderstandings, & lost productivity due to inefficient processes. Your team is struggling with the 'how'.

The hidden costs of confusing policies

1. Unclear, inconsistent, or outdated policies are silent resource drains. They spark disputes, hinder operations, & expose organisations to significant risk.
