Business Partner
Our client is the UK subsidiary of a global $800 million re-cycling company. Established in the UK for 3 years the company had built solid logistical foundations and a very good reputation and were ready to embark on Phase 2 of its growth plan. A new role of Business Manager was created. The role combined purchasing, to source suppliers of high quality metal and plastic waste, with business development, to identify profitable opportunities for the waste.

Objective
The client wanted an individual who had delivered the above role for one of its competitors but the main criteria was to identify candidates with high morals, a high level of customer service and who could be flexible enough to work in a small, start-up business and the broad range of skills and a strong work ethic that this required.
 
Method
A very sensitive assignment, due to the small world the client operated in, Collingwood networked and referred from its strong contact base in the Waste Management Industry. Selected candidates were assessed via face to face competency based interviews.
 
Result
A high quality candidate shortlist was presented and a successful appointment was made.
