HOW WE CAN HELP YOUR BUSINESS

Recruitment as a Service

Our solution gives you the ability to scale your talent acquisition capacity up or down as commercially required. This is a unique service and is ideal for companies who need to grow quickly, but don’t want to recruit a permanent Talent Team in the medium to long term, or where you have a project which needs specialist Talent Resource and support for a specific time period. While engaged with us, we will act as your internal recruitment function, fully immersing ourselves in your business, and will treat your hires with the same care and attention as we would our own.

Flexible Project Teams (Temporary & Contractor resource)

Where there is a start and end point to a specific programme of work, which does not require permanent recruitment in the long term, we can support your business in sourcing and managing a Flexible Project Team, such as Temporary Workers and Contactors. As part of this, we will ensure all legal requirements are met (such as IR35, holiday entitlements, pension requirements, reference checks etc.) and will work with you to limit the managerial time overheads.

Permanent Projects

If you are going through a period of planned growth, where you require ongoing recruitment for a number of Permanent Candidates, our experienced team that can support you across the full project lifecycle. We work with you front beginning to end, from project commencement and agreeing a detailed project plan, right through to successful onboarding and support adhering to legal requirements. No two projects are the same so our approach will always be tailored to suit your needs.

Graduate Programmes

Our Graduate Programmes are a full-service offering, where we combine Project Recruitment with our HR for Growth services. Graduate Programmes are critical for accessing the next generation of talent, and when combined with HR for Growth, can help you build a strong employer brand in the marketplace. These programmes are highly competitive and time intensive, so our team can support you throughout the process to help you tap into a new pool of candidates.

Our Graduate Programmes can

Deliver market research in terms of skills availability, market mapping and salary & package benchmarking

Case Study

Client: Ciena

Project:

Belfast has always been a Ciena centre of excellence for Global Supply Chain, and they made the commercial decision to increase the commercial functions supported by this centre in Belfast. As part of this, they wanted to relocate their Global Order Management, Global Customer Relationship Management and Order Fulfilment which supports their Asia, Americas and EMEA clients.

Background:

We were tasked with recruiting high functioning, productive teams, with the experience and ability to add value to Ciena’s CRM and Order Management Teams. This included attracting specific language skills (including Japanese, Spanish, German), and ensuring successfully resourcing several core shifts aligned with specific geographies.

During this process, we were responsible for:

Working with Ciena to define the employee proposition and candidate attraction strategy
Defining the recruitment processes for this project, specifically ensuring the best recruitment outcomes for both Ciena and applicants, utilising competency-based frameworks as well as testing where applicable
Partnering with line managers and HR to ensure candidate journey and onboarding is as effective and seamless as possible

Client Feedback:

“Corvus have been our recruitment partner in Belfast for the last five years and during that time they have provided us with significant project support and senior recruitment appointments. They have delivered two key projects recruiting over sixty staff in the last 24 months and have recruited Director level positions in UK and North America.

We have found them to be highly attentive, committed, and experienced team of recruitment professionals who have been instrumental in delivering our growth plans.”

Excellent to deal with and very helpful. Kept constantly in contact to keep me up to date with how things were going and was very helpful both prior to and after getting my offer!

Quantity Surveyor

Working with Michelle Kearns at Corvus has been a pleasure, there was regular contact, honest and transparent conversations about what I was looking for and what the company was able to offer. If I requested more information about any particular points Michelle provided robust and concise feedback with all the detail needed and would often check-in to see if there was any further support I required. I was in the process of moving country and Michelle also understood the pressures this involved and would give me time to think about any offers made and also helped accommodate support within that offer for the relocation.

Michelle was very professional in how she handled my case and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to make the next move in their career. She has demonstrated a high standard of work and negotiation to get me the package that best suited my circumstances and I am very grateful for all her hard work.
