Case Studies
Situation
Integral Energy has sought to promote itself as an employer of choice in the greater Sydney market, to attract the talented individuals to the business for a variety of corporate roles. One of the biggest issues for candidate attraction has been overcoming the obstacle of a work environment set in a relatively remote location (Huntingwood NSW)
Solution
By being a preferred supplier for recruitment services, Michael Page International has proactively worked with Integral to identify any recruitment issues and objectives, and determine a solution to meet the goals of Integral. Michael Page has played a key communications role in influencing and obtaining quality candidates, and has engaged a variety of strategies to overcome the geographic issue such as:
- An specialist team of consultants dedicated solely to recruiting staff for Integral
- Briefings with key management to establish and determine objectives
- MPI acting as a key communicator to the candidate market
- Consultation services
- Utilising Michael Page’s extensive database
- Sourcing Strategies
- Michael Page's ability to obtain candidates face to face to communicate Integral as an employer of choice
- Providing managers at Integral with a positive attitude to change their mindset about the preconceived barriers of location
Michael Page consultants use the opportunity to address this directly with candidates on a face to face basis and manage candidate concerns. By understanding the unique culture within Integral our consultants have been able to promote Integral as an employer of choice, which has often lead to overcoming preliminary objections associated with the location.
Outcome
By working together Michael Page International has successfully addressed the key issues that Integral Energy faced by providing a complete candidate sourcing solution strategy.
Michael Page International has successfully completed a number of assignments during 2007 and 2008 for Integral Energy, placing people from all over the Sydney metropolitan area and in doing so has broadened the candidate pool that Integral have had to consider for various opportunities.
Integral Energy has been able to leverage off the relationship with Michael Page International to overcome their recruitment problem, and this may not have been achievable otherwise.
