Case Study: Supporting a Manchester Professional Services Firm
The Client & Challenge
A growing financial services firm in Manchester City Centre lost three key members of its internal talent acquisition team within a week, jeopardising a critical Q3 hiring campaign.
Our Solution
Workers-Direct provided a blended solution: two experienced Recruitment Consultants on a temporary contract to manage immediate vacancies, and one Talent Acquisition Specialist on a temp-to-perm basis to lead the campaign and embed long-term.
The Result
The hiring campaign was delivered on schedule. The temp-to-perm specialist was offered a permanent role after 3 months, and the client now uses us for all peak-demand staff augmentation needs.
“Facing a sudden exodus from our HR team was a nightmare. Workers-Direct didn't just fill seats; they provided skilled professionals who understood our sector and hit the ground running. Their candidate screening strategies meant every CV was relevant.”
