Who

As one of the most prominent public bodies, our client selected us from an approved framework to supply a Senior Digital Java Developer. The role required an individual with extensive experience across a variety of programmes whilst possessing the ability to communicate activity to those who are not competent in this type of work.

Problem

Due to the skillset and experience required for the role, the talent pool appeared limited to the client due to location specifications. In addition to this, it was subsequently difficult for them to find the best fit for the role due to limited knowledge of the appropriate measures of success for this type of role.

Our Role

Solution

We appointed an experienced consultant as a single point of contact, who was responsible for working collaboratively with the client to fully understand various aspects of the role and business, including:

Company culture
Key role requirements
Person specification
Location requirements

Through this collaborative approach, we agreed on the appropriate advertising such as the candidates’ ability to discuss the conceptual nature of the goals and aims of the company. We conducted searches by telephone, recommendations and our database of vetted candidates, where through both interrogation and question and answers we created a shortlist of relevant candidates.

By ensuring they met the eligibility criteria and observing the principle of merit, candidates were selected for subsequent stages in merit order. Under the SLA we are allowed to propose just two candidates. Of these two candidates, one was shortlisted and requested to do a MAZE Test (a user test designed for product teams allowing the hiring team to evaluate an approach to a problem) before being moved to a final stage interview and then a formal offer.

In just under 41 days, we completed the process from releasing the role to work commencing after full onboarding including reference and Right to Work checks completed.

Future

As we identified more appointable candidates than the 2 requested based on the SLA, we created a Reserve List for other similar roles for up to 12 months for similar roles and criteria.

We have maintained regular contact with the candidate so that we can deal with any issues in regards to timesheets and payments by acting on their behalf but also making sure that soft issues arising from working at home and mental wellbeing are addressed By working together collaboratively, we do our best to ensure that the high quality of service that both client and contractor as customers expect from Spinwell is met, seeking feedback through customer and candidate surveys to support continuous improvement in our approach
