"Having previously utilised our own resources for senior level recruitment with mixed levels of success, as Managing Director of Eurocraft Enclosures I decided that from this point on I would entrust our requirements for key placements to experts in search and selection.
Along with my colleagues and co-owners of the business we identified Collingwood Search & Selection as an ideal partner to work with us, in initially filling a strategic Operations Manager vacancy.
Our experience showed that Collingwood thoroughly understood what we were looking for, and whilst the technical and core competency match for the role was established and formed part of the search criteria, of equal importance was the ‘culture and personality fit’ of the potential candidates to our existing team.
Doug Mackay and his team spent time exploring our values and team dynamics and then using a variety of tools deployed a ‘focused search’ that pulled together a short list of candidates for our review.
Suffice is to say that we had a final shortlist of three candidates and we would have employed all three if it were possible, such was the match to our requirements.”
