> volume recruitment in a consultancy environment

" We've almost interviewed everyone you've put in front of us"

from: Atkins Management Consultancy, May 2007

Atkins had a number of major projects running that had absorbed many of their permanent staff. This led to a high influx of contractors, inconsistency in the management of projects and a lack of their own employees to create new opportunities. Victims of their own success, future business and growth was at risk

Preferred Supplier List

Arras People were initially invited to an open day for potential inclusion onto a ‘preferred supplier list’. The Client was looking for a large number of Programme Mangers, Principal Consultants, Project Managers, Coordinators and Administrators at a number of locations across the UK.

Through careful planning Arras initiated one of the largest Project staffing recruitment campaigns undertaken in the UK. By working with the client on the specification and careful positioning of the remuneration package Arras was able to attract and propose appropriate candidates.

Speeding up the recruitment process

Through working with Arras People Atkins' recruitment process has been significantly reduced in terms of time with placements happening sooner; meaning staff are on site delivering and billing.

Understanding the nature of our client's projects

Our project management knowledge has allowed us to engage successfully with human resources and line managers alike Arras understands the nature of our client's projects and the people who work within them and therefore the clients needs.
