An interim solution to impart knowledge, engage and influence
London Borough of Croydon required a Data Protection Officer able to shape and mentor the council’s methodology and response to data and information security.
Priorities supported:
An interim with extensive knowledge of the key legislations of data protection, FOI, as well as GDPR and EIR
Retain a supplier who understood the far-reaching implications of this role and the need for a candidate with the combination of engagement and area-expertise skills
Work with a trusted supplier familiar with the council and the team’s structure
Utilise the LGRP framework to procure services in an efficient and effective manner
Experience Applied:
Our decades of experience in local government, coupled with recent recruitment campaigns in this area of expertise, meant we had immediate knowledge of the available talent pool of suitable applicants
As sector specialists, we understood the depth of know-how required and targeted a shortlist with end-to-end knowledge of legislation from compliance to process implementation
Having previously partnered with the line manager, we were appointed exclusively as direct award under LGRP
Outcomes delivered:
Our shortlist of four candidates was submitted three days after the role was placed with us and all were invited to interview
Having listened and understood the requirement every candidate was appointable; when one applicant dropped out in this competitive market the client still had an excellent choice of talented interims
With previous experience of our service and having been supplied through the LGRP, the client had total confidence in not only the success of the placement but also its compliance process
