Due to business requirements, our client sought to strengthen their apprenticeship team by appointing a Welder/Fabricator Trainer. The ideal candidate needed to positively impact the current cohort of apprentices in order to support their development, as well as work together with the wider training team to ensure the long-term success of all future apprentices.

Recognising that this role had been previously advertised without success, we decided to take a proactive headhunting approach. This strategy enabled us to connect with candidates who had not yet been exposed to the opportunity. Through extensive outreach efforts, we engaged with a broad pool of potential candidates in the region.

During this process, one candidate we contacted was not personally interested but recommended someone within their network who might be a perfect fit. Following further engagement and assessment, this referral proved to be an outstanding match for the role. We were delighted to offer a referral fee to the recommending individual as part of our process.

“We were pleased with the honest and open communication throughout the recruitment process for this hard-to-fill role.  The transparency and regular updates offered valuable insight which meant that both sides were aligned on expectations. It also contributed to making it easier to address challenges and secure the right individual for the role. ”

This successful placement demonstrates our dedication to finding the right talent for each role. By leveraging targeted outreach and our extensive industry connections, we ensured a positive outcome for our client and reinforced our commitment to delivering tailored recruitment solutions.
