What were the challenges?

Historically the company has been almost totally reliant on agencies to fill their roles, and the Head of HR used to work with one of our long standing clients and had no hesitation in contacting us to help them take a more strategic and consistent approach to their recruitment.

What was our solution?

The new RPO partnership got off to a flying start in January 2021 with ten vacancies being logged in the first week alone. Fast forward 12 months and our dedicated team of recruiters have filled over 140 roles for SMT. We’ve worked on a large range of roles from Stores Person vacancies to Engineers and Senior Management positions.

The Results

ResourceBank have become an extension of SMT’s internal HR team which has not only helped them save on recruitment costs but time too, as it has allowed them to focus on their core responsibilities and projects.
