Emerald Starfish was asked to run a recruitment project to find three key professionals for a rapidly expanding and innovative renewable energy company 
 
The Challenge 
 
The Midlands-based client needed to quickly find high quality candidates to fill three different roles in the fields of renewables engineering and commercial management, in order to support their expansion plans, primarily in Scotland. 
The Background 
 
The client approached Emerald Starfish following a recommendation, and we worked together on detailed briefs for each of the three roles in order to fully understand the profile of each professional required for such an innovative and technical company. 
 
The Solution 
 
Working on a fixed-price per placement basis, Emerald Starfish advertised each role, and screened all applicants carefully, before presenting a short-list of candidates to the client, and thereafter, setting up face-to-face interviews. 
 
The Result 
 
The client appointed three excellent candidates, and by working on a fixed-price basis, saved £26,500 compared with using standard recruitment consultancy fees! As the client now owns all the candidates, they will also benefit greatly from having a talent-pool to draw on as they continue to expand. 
 
For a fixed price, Emerald Starfish undertook: 
 
Advertising of roles 
Screening of all applicants against each job profile 
Telephone interviewing of relevant candidates 
Presenting a shortlist of candidates to the client for appraisal 
Arranging face-to-face interviews between the client and the candidates 
Managing all the candidates throughout the process to ensure an exceptional level of service. 
Creation of a future talent pool of excellent applicants for other roles moving forward for the company. 
What the Client said 
 
“With three important roIes to fill at time of rapid company growth, it was a weight off my mind to entrust our recruitment needs to Emerald Starfish, and I was really pleased with the way you grasped the technical requirements for these roles, and with the smooth-running of the whole recruitment process. I am particularly delighted to have saved so much money by using your fixed-fee service, and look forward to working with you as our company continues to expand.”
