Case Study: Delivering a successful specialist recruitment campaign

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
