Case Study
A consultancy approached us to recruit an Operations Director with a strong HR focus.
A tailored search and Sunday Times advertising campaign was recommended. The Sunday Times was used as turnaround time to short list needed to be as short as possible.
In addition, due to internal sensitivities, there was a need for utmost confidentiality.
A shortlist of six candidates was presented to the clients within four weeks of assignment sign off. Three entered into the client interview process with the preferred candidate hired two weeks later.
Testimonials
“I have been working with Rob over the past few months on corporate tax recruitment for our expanding team and we have worked together well on this side. An opportunity arose in our VAT team to take on a new VAT director to expand our offering in this area, and I contacted Rob to discuss this. Within a few days Rob produced a first class candidate, who sailed through our internal recruitment procedures. Rob provided valuable support through the recruitment processes and helped ensure we successfully concluded our negotiations with this important addition to our VAT team.”
