Although these are the core offering, the company's partnering philosophy allows it flexibility to provide solutions to anything that enable its clients to drive down cost or increase efficiencies.

Objective
Having just secured a European wide contract with a global soft drinks manufacturer, our client was seeking to support its rapid expansion with the recruitment of a number of newly created roles, including a Manufacturing Consultant.

Method
Our consultants used combines media advertising and headhunting to generate candidate response. They then conducted competency based interviews to generate a shortlist.

Result
A shortlist of 5 was presented. Three candidates made it to the final stage. Collingwood developed an assessment centre for the client which reduced the final shortlist to two. The recruitment process proved so successful that our client decided to appoint two new Manufacturing Consultants rather than one.
