Campaign Recruitment

The Challenge

To help Wandle achieve their vision, they were looking to add new talent to their team.

Wandle wanted to reach, engage and retain over 50 new hires, whilst minimising the impact on internal resources and delivering value for money.

The Solution

Cohesion single-handedly built a new Careers website, to better reflect the Wandle brand. This was matched by a proactive, online attraction and sourcing strategy based on Cohesion’s intelligent attraction methodology.

Assessment and selection processes were designed by Cohesion for a Volume Recruitment Campaign, specifically for customer service vacancies. These processes culminated in the delivery of a series of highly-effective assessment centres.

In addition, expert recruiters screened and assessed applicants for a range of vacancies across the entire organisation – including Finance, HR, Project Management, Board Members, Procurement and Business Analysts.

Finally, Cohesion managed the entire pre-employment process, saving the internal HR team a significant amount of time.
