• CASE STUDY (20 Marks)
• The client is a leading investment
  management and investment services company. With
  headquarters in New York, it has 26.3 trillion
  in assets under custody or administration and
  1.3 trillion under management. The company
  recently experienced major organization change
  and was looking to grow its human resources
  division as well as invest heavily in a long-term
  occupational health and employee wellbeing
  strategy. To drive the new strategy, the client
  needed to recruit a benefits wellbeing
  associate within a relatively tight time frame.
  The role was highly specialized with only a small
  number of suitably qualified candidates in the
  market.

• Finding someone suitable, and fast, was
  going to be a particularly challenging task. The
  client needed a recruitment agency that could
  effectively deliver on brief and meet their
  expectations. It initially approached a number of
  agencies who could potentially help them with its
  requirement, including Hudson. Hudson quickly
  realized that the standard day-to-day recruitment
  approach wasnt sufficient to fill this
  particular role and therefore looked into
  alternative solutions. Hudson was aware that
  other agencies briefed by the client were having
  difficulty finding the right caliber of
  professional for the role. The Hudson consultant,
  however, was able to demonstrate an effective
  method of sourcing candidates, and on the
  strength of Hudsons relationship with the
  client, it was suggested that the recruitment
  assignment was delivered on a retained basis.
  Working in this way allowed Hudson to work
  closely with the clients HR Manager and define a
  targeted advertising and search approach to
  closely match requirements.

• This included advertisements on a leading
  health and wellbeing website in conjunction with
  other HR platforms. A branded e-shot to drive
  responses was also sent out and this was
  successful in attracting some highly-skilled
  candidates. Despite the difficulty with
  attracting strong candidates, Hudson maintained a
  first-class service throughout the entire process
  and the role was filled within the three weeks.
  This adhered to a pre-agreed time-frame for
  presentation of all shortlist candidates and
  interview slots. The candidate appointed for the
  role not only had strong experience, but was also
  a good cultural fit. The client was extremely
  pleased with the level of service provided. Since
  this particular assignment, Hudson has
  successfully placed a number of other candidates
  within this company on a retained and contingent
  basis. Hudson is currently one of its top
  providers for HR professional recruitment.
