Business Partner
Our client is a UK subsidiary of a $28 billion Global Technology Corporation. The company was a market leading manufacturer of advanced fibre used for military and defence applications and had created a new role for an Operations Director to enable its rapid growth plan.
 
Objective
Our client had been using a renowned international Headhunter for 18 months to fill this position without any success and approached Collingwood on the basis of our claim to find needles in haystacks. Candidates had to have a strong technical background in Fibre manufacturing combined with proven experience of leading a Fibre manufacturing facility.

The main barrier to this recruitment was that fibre manufacturing in the UK had fallen off the edge of a cliff 4 years previously and so there were not any easy companies to target that were operational.
 
Method
Collingwood had worked extensively in the Fibre industry and so used its network to track down potential candidates. We combined this with some specific internet advertising to communicate to candidates outside our network.
 
Result
To our client's surprise Collingwood delivered a shortlist of 4 candidates inside 5 weeks all of whom met the set specification. A candidate was recruited who exactly matched the specified brief.
