Delivering local government recruitment expertise
Westminster City Council’s Change and Innovation directorate required a permanent Business and Engagement Manager to drive and deliver the needs of its employees through consistent training, development and culture building.
Priorities supported:
Unable to secure a suitable candidate through internal campaigns, a recruitment partner was needed who could confidently guarantee the delivery of this placement
Partner with an agency which specialises in local government and has the capability to reach this niche skill set
Retain a candidate with the wide range of expertise needed to fulfil this brief
Experience applied:
Once retained, a job specification meeting was held with the two directorate heads to interrogate the brief and ensure our total understanding of the role
Engaged our talent network to attain recommendations for the position from market peers
Leveraged our legacy database to engage with passive talent
Outcomes delivered:
Our shortlist of three qualified and committed candidates was supplied within three weeks of receiving the role
All our candidates were invited to interview and the successful applicant was retained 24 hours after the interview
Managed the entire recruitment process through to on-boarding with the incumbent starting the role within two months
“I received an excellent service from Venn Group; consistently helpful, responsive and great to work with. They took the time to understand what I needed for my vacancy, and provided me with a number of really excellent candidates.”
