Best Supplier Partnership – Wolseley 

ResourceBank has become a key integrated partner to Wolseley UK, intrinsic to the ongoing success of the organisation.  Not only have we achieved fantastic results against the agreed KPIs of time to hire and NPS satisfaction, we have also become a key partner. 

The ResourceBank RPO and the in- house team work seamlessly together as Wolseley Resourcing –  our teams align to the different business areas/units and we have regular communication to discuss activity –  giving the candidate and hiring  manager a first class experience. Wolesley won Top Employer 2022 and were recognised as an employer of choice. 

Amy Evans, Talent Acquisition Manager for Wolseley summarises our winning partnership: 

“Working with ResourceBank has been an invaluable part to the success of our business. The long- standing relationship has meant that they understand our needs intrinsically. They supported us through our move to Workday without any operational down time. From speaking our language and tone to accommodating us during busy periods, we are always provided with suitable and high-quality talent.  

ResourceBank has allowed us to save time and money. Moreover, at Wolseley, we value the spirit of teamwork. ResourceBank has become part of our team and we look forward to continuing the partnership for years to come. “   

Best RPO Team Of The Year – WDF 

At 17 years and counting, our RPO partnership with World Duty Free (WDF) has to be one of the longest in the world! The COVID pandemic put everything on hold but we then enabled WDF to be fully resourced in 2022 with an amazing 1,296 hires in the year, 1,000 of those in the first 5 months. 

Our small, dedicated and passionate team at ResourceBank is able to consistently meet and exceed all of WDF’s UK recruitment needs.  As it is quite a relentless account, we make it a point to celebrate small wins. Success is in the journey. 

Geoff Hall said: 

“32,300 applications, 5,200 interviews by ResourceBank, 1,650 by WDF Managers led to 1,020 offers.  The hit rate of 2 offers for every 3 WDF interviews is outstanding and the engagement, satisfaction & feedback from candidates was excellent.  Remember – this is a time when other airport employers could not hire enough staff – leading to flights being cancelled and negative headlines in the press.  All of our stores are fully operational thanks to the amazing efforts of our staff and ResourceBank.”
