Connecting a recruitment campaign with a wider talent pool
Aston University had been unable to attract a high calibre of Health & Safety candidates through conventional advertising methods and sought a recruitment partner qualified to answer and deliver on their specialist requirements. With decades of experience in higher education, our team created a robust recruitment process that ensured the vacancies wide exposure whilst retaining confidentiality.
PRIORITIES SUPPORTED: Protect university brand Access a talent pool not reached by the client’s own advertising Successfully recruit a permanent Health & Safety Business Partner and Health & Safety Advisor Specialist recruiter within Education Health and Safety, confident to advise on and manage a recruitment process delivering required outcomes
| EXPERIENCED APPLIED: As exclusive partner for this recruitment we created a briefing document to ensure consistent, clear information and to protect the client’s brand The education team leveraged our network to engage with passive candidates Understanding the specialist nature of this role and time needed to secure candidates, we set a two-week deadline for CV submission; within this we carried out thorough screening, advertising and networking We defined a clear recruitment process, securing a good range of available candidates committed to engage in a two-stage interview process (one-to-one and panel interviews)
| OUTCOMES DELIVERED: Shortlisted three specialist candidates for each role; all were taken to informal interview, and one progressed for each position to panel Our detailed briefing and screening ensured successful candidates immediately accepted the roles when offered Both roles successfully filled within two months from the initial briefing Candidates added immediate value to Aston University and continue to deliver their objectives
