Expanding Your Candidate Pool
The Client
Daniel Owen is a member of the client's PSL, approved agency supplier list, partnering with them to provide recruitment services for labour, tradespeople, office support, director-level roles, and more.
The Challenge
To ensure a long, successful partnership with the client, we identified several challenges we needed to solve:
Hard-to-Recruit Areas: Sourcing candidates in remote locations with limited candidate pools and restricted commuter towns.
Specialised Management Roles: The client needed operational candidates with commercial expertise, a rare combination of skills requiring expert headhunting.
Right to Work Compliance: Ensuring all candidates are fully compliant.
Legislation Changes: Continuous updates to legislation such as AWR, minimum wage and IR35.
Merging Operational Changes: The client's recent merger introduced new decision-makers, requiring a comprehensive map of critical contacts.
The Solution
We made several adjustments to our partnership:
- Offered excess mileage rates for remote areas and prioritised local candidates to facilitate recruitment.
- Created a client-specific head-hunt strategy to identify the best candidates for the client’s specialist roles.
- Established an experienced compliance team to audit all workers, ensuring the correct documentation and eligibility are in place.
- To stay ahead of legislation changes, we ensured continuous reviews and updates of our databases and systems and regularly cross-checked with auditors, solicitors, and trade organisations.
- Adapted to the merger by mapping out key decision-makers, establishing new connections, and seamlessly adjusting to the expanded structure.
The Result
A decarbonisation specialist project manager was appointed for the role following thorough interviews, assessments, and selection processes conducted by Daniel Owen and the client. All key recruitment milestones were achieved, and the successful candidate started on the targeted date.
