HR Client Case Study: bpha

human resources case studies

The challenge

Our client was looking for an EDI Partner after their own direct advertisements did not product a suitable candidate. They required someone with strong experience working strategically with the board of directors, a track record in stakeholder engagement and the ability to lead projects in change delivery.

These requirements, combined with a tight talent pool, created a niche candidate specification.

How did we succeed?

Our sourcing strategy;

Identification of essential vs non-essential elements of the person specification to increase the candidate pool
Highlighting bpha's unique selling points which would resonate with experienced candidates
A broad search of active and passive professionals using a multi-resource approach, prioritising candidates within a 5-mile radius of the office base
A dynamic advertising campaign on jobs boards with a proven track record in EDI resourcing

A total of 28 candidates were contacted within a 36-hour period producing a longlist of seven applicants, six of whom were progressed to the first stage of the interview and two candidates who were progressed to second and third stages.

What were the results?

Following a successful interview phase, we secured a well-suited candidate whose transferrable skills and behaviors blended well with the team and key deliverables.
