Case studies
Results for our clients
A selection of results from the contractor hiring programmes we manage for our clients.
The challenge
The division relied on a single supplier that held roles for up to two weeks. There was no ATS, CVs arrived by email, there were no performance dashboards and no fixed fee structure, so the division was overpaying for recruitment.
Our approach
- Built a preferred supplier list of five firms on fixed fees with tenure discounts
- Introduced a supplier-paid premium version of Workable
- Set up data dashboards and quarterly reviews
- Partnered with Qdos to manage IR35 compliance

- Set up data dashboards and quarterly reviews
