Case Study | Locum Recruitment - Lancashire County Council
Posted on March 2024

Lancashire County Council entrusted us with their Locum Public Health Contracts and Procurement Lawyer position, based on our reputation as a specialist recruitment provider of high-calibre legal candidates. Their managed vendor supplier had been unable to supply for several weeks, meaning a successful outcome at pace was critical.
Priorities supported:
Secure a Contracts and Procurement Lawyer with relevant experience dealing with public health legislation
Partner with an established recruitment consultancy recognised for their expertise in Legal recruitment
Establish an alternative delivery route to the managed vendor to guarantee a successful outcome
Experience applied:
Appreciating the urgent nature of this requirement, we immediately approached known talent and requested recommendations from the wider Venn Group Public Sector Legal Team.
Having been requisitioned on Thursday, we worked out of hours and over the weekend to keep the recruitment process moving at pace
Knowing the value of this sought-after expertise, we employed our market knowledge to actively approach candidates who were nearing or recently concluding their current assignments
Outcomes delivered:
Successfully placed the position within five working days, utilising out-of-hours availability to expedite the process
Securing the appropriate expertise for this position prompted the MV to reassess their suppliers for specialised roles, leading them to extend an invitation for us to establish a formal agreement
“Cristina has been very supportive, personable and with a facilitative attitude to the placement. Her positivity and personality comes across well through her correspondence which resulted in strong working relationships being created.”
