The client request for weekly catch up calls with the HR team to discuss any vacancies or issues

A dedicated account director was appointed as sole point of contact to ensure time efficiency in process and communication and help build an inclusive partnership. By providing dedicated consultants, we managed to reduce the average time to hire from 40 working days to 27 working days. We also had a better budgetary control on costs, reducing costs year on year by over 40%.

We provided candidate packs to ensure understanding of the brand and a positive image in the marketplace, and wrote bespoke interview workshops rolled out to hiring managers to ensure top talent was recruited and retained.

We also offered weekly reporting and quarterly review meetings on KPIs to ensure objectives were being met, and access to a suite of advisory services to assist with devising and implementing the resourcing strategy, including recruiting at a senior level and their D&I journey.

Thanks to the impact this had on the productivity of the business, Page Resourcing has been exclusively retained for all white-collar hiring.
