The Blueprint

The Blueprint is the plan. Your answers build it.

Written by Matt Fitton. Not a recruiter who stumbled into care: a former support worker and care manager who built FMC because he lived the chaos.

A prioritised, costed plan for fixing recruitment in your service. It is built from your answers to 54 questions across 9 stages, scored out of 180. Not consultancy theory. Your gaps, your plan.

You know something is not right. You just can't see where.

The agency invoices keep landing. Good candidates go quiet halfway through. Managers spend half the week chasing references and copying data between spreadsheets. Every month you're left wondering where the time and money actually went.

The problem is not that you're doing it wrong. It's that no one has ever shown you the whole picture in one place: scored, honest, and laid out in black and white. That is what the assessment does, and the Blueprint is what you do about it.

"Many of our clients act on the Blueprint alone and never need to spend another penny with us. That's by design."

Matt Fitton, FittonMillett

Who this is for.

  • You're burning budget on job boards.

    Paying to sit alongside every competitor when you don't need to.

  • Agencies are hiring for you, at a price.

    Every placement is a bill for a problem you could fix once.

  • You're the manager, the recruiter and the last to leave.

    Hiring sits on top of the day job, and the day job is losing.

  • Candidates ghost you and you don't know why.

    Somewhere between advert and first shift the process is broken, and nobody can point to where.

From guessing to knowing.

This is the shift the Blueprint delivers.
