The Client 

A global organisation with 1000s of locations, primarily operating out of the UK and Europe. The client is a fast-growing organisation that requires candidates that can operate within a fast-paced environment and therefore, takes its recruitment seriously.

​

The Challenge 

During the rollout of new internal systems, the clients transational team was needing to grow, however, due to project cost restraints and due to needing people urgently, they were looking more at a temp-to-perm route.

Due to fast paced environment and the increased workload, the client could not onboard and train candidates as much as they would normally and therefore, they were looking for experienced candidates that could come in and hit the ground running and therefore , were heavily reliant on us supplying the right quality of candidate on both a skillset and personality level.

​

The client required: 

- High volume hiring at pace 

- One consistent recruitment partner 

- Full screening, onboarding and governance 

- Reduced operational pressure on managers 

​

Their existing multi agency approach lacked structure, flow and accountability during peak demand. 

​

The Pillar Solution 

Pillar by White Horse embedded as a talent partner, managing the full recruitment lifecycle. 

​

Strategic workforce planning  - Aligning hiring volumes and timelines with operational demand 

Talent attraction & sourcing  - Driving strong candidate flow through targeted campaigns 

Quality screening & shortlisting  - Assessing capability, culture and DE&I alignment 

Hiring flow management  - Coordinating interviews, feedback and offers centrally

​

The Results 

The project was delivered within a 12 moth period. Of the 21 hires made, only 30% did not go perm due to the project finishing and headcount not requiring anyone else.

​

​

The Impact 

✔ Faster, calmer hiring during peak demand 

✔ Reduced management workload 

✔ Consistent quality and compliance 

​

The project supported a successful system implementation while strengthening the client’s long term hiring approach.
