Provided excellent candidate care, ensuring strong engagement and successful hires

Delivered project at ~40% lower cost than traditional recruitment agencies

An international law firm headquartered in London. At the beginning of 2019 the firm undertook a restructuring of its secretarial and administration support and established a new Client Services function.

“Using ResourceBank was a new approach for us but we are delighted by the results. The quality and suitability of the candidates was exactly what we were looking for. The ResourceBank team provided an excellent level of candidate care throughout the interview and assessment process – indeed most of the candidates thought that they were full time employees and we feel this really helped to build engagement and a high level of successful hire. The fixed project cost meants that we saved significantly compared to using traditional contingency recruitment agencies and we will definitely use ResourceBank again for any similar project need.”

What were the challenges?

They had a small recruitment team which did not have the resources to support this additional level of recruitment in such a short timescale. ResourceBank presented a proposal and quotation which demonstrated approximately £40,000 of savings compared to using recruitment agencies and were appointed to run the project.

What was our solution?

ResourceBank established a project team with experience of the legal sector and, together with the law firm’s resourcing team, created a project plan which mapped out an 8-week schedule. This included the creation of job specification, job adverts and candidate specifications, a recruitment video, advertising of vacancies on selected digital and social channels and liaising with HR team to ensure formal offer is produced and accepted.

The Results

ResourceBank managed the recruitment of a new team of administration staff in 3 UK locations for a leading legal business. Our dedicated team recruited high calibre candidates within a short timescale at a cost approximately 40% less than using recruitment agencies.
