Background:
At Boston Hale, our consultants are experts in their industries, constantly networking and meeting the best professionals. Our Procurement & Supply Chain team pride itself on always having a readily available supply of market-leading interim professionals and being able to react quickly to clients’ hiring needs. After establishing a relationship with a leading London-based NHS Acute Trust, we successfully recruited two Interim Procurement Consultants for clinical and non-clinical projects within five working days.
What we did:
Once fully briefed by our client, we approached a pool of trusted, previously interviewed and referenced consultants. After reassessing their professional situations and promoting the opportunities to them, we were quickly able to submit a formal shortlist of 4 suitable candidates for each vacancy.
Before the five working days were up, the two candidates preferred at interview had already been through complete compliance checks, had equipment, contracts & payroll in place and were ready to start in the office.
Process:
Results:
A seamless recruitment process across the two vacancies. Boston Hale provided a shortlist of eight candidates, four interviewed, and two were successful. The client was pleased with the process, still employs the consultants and continues to work closely with Boston Hale’s Procurement and Supply Chain in Healthcare team.
“Matt at Boston Hale stepped in to help when we needed high-quality interims urgently. He was very proactive. I got a response straight away, and he sent me very good candidates extremely quickly. The interims were exactly the right fit with the experience necessary to just pick up and get on with the work. In fact, the new teams’ ability to turn things around won us internal recognition from the assistant CFO.”
