<h2>THE CLIENT&rsquo;S CHALLENGE</h2>
<p><strong>Our client does not have an internal talent acquisition team and struggles to dedicate internal resource to find personnel. They needed to hire contractors with extensive analytical instrumentation experience in a senior capacity &ndash; positions which are typically offered on a permanent basis, posing a potential barrier to candidate attraction.</strong></p>
<p>The client needed the support of a scientific recruitment company with an in-depth understanding of the technical background associated with the roles.</p>
<h2>OUR SOLUTION</h2>
<p><strong>Developed candidate networks</strong>: We have an established network of scientific personnel, giving us direct access to qualified candidates.</p>
<p><strong>First hand industry experience</strong>: All our recruitment consultants have worked within a scientific capacity which delivers an unrivalled ability in matching talent with job roles for longevity and candidate retention. The consultant who leads this account has worked as a chemist and therefore understands the role from personal experience.</p>
<p><strong>Extensive background checks</strong>: Our team organises comprehensive candidate screening, including competency assessments and reference checks.</p>
<p><strong>Close partnership</strong>: When obtaining a hiring brief, we go on-site with the client to meet the hiring manager and immerse ourselves in the working environment and culture. We then revisit the site once the new hire has been placed, so we can see them in the job and ensure a smooth process.</p>
<p><strong>Ongoing catch-ups</strong>: We stay in close contact with the client and contractors through regularly hosting morning tea sessions and having larger Easter and Christmas gatherings for the whole team.</p>
<h2>RESULTS</h2>
<p>We have been the leading supplier of scientific staff for this organisation for many years, providing key technical staff across all Laboratory Services and Analytical departments.</p>
<p><strong>We now have over 25 contractors engaged with the client including:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Account Managers</li>
<li>Analysts</li>
<li>Chemists</li>
<li>Laboratory Service Officers</li>
<li>Lab Technicians</li>
<li>Procurement Officers</li>
<li>Technical Development Managers</li>
<li>Technical Development Officers</li>
</ul>

Our client is a Government contract testing and research laboratory, leading Australia’s physical, chemical and biological measurement standards which are recognised internationally. Through a long-standing relationship we have provided key technical laboratory staff to the client since 2011.

Scientific Hires for Government Projects

<h2>THE CLIENT&rsquo;S CHALLENGE</h2>
<p><strong>Our client went through a restructure which meant they needed to hire a volume number of candidates for highly skilled positions.</strong></p>
<p>The client wanted qualified food scientists and quality professionals with HPLC Instrumentation experience, and due to the specialised nature of their work would only consider degree-qualified personnel. To meet the deadline of their quality assurance project, the hires were needed within a week.</p>
<h2>OUR SOLUTION</h2>
<p><strong>Evolve provided a full-scale recruitment service and managed the entire hiring process.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>We stay close to our markets and have a pool of&nbsp;qualified (pre-screened and interviewed) candidates ready to deploy at short notice, enabling rapid hiring</li>
<li>We utilised our tried and tested technical&nbsp;assessment process which included:
<ul>
<li>Providing a qualified shortlist of video resumes&nbsp;from candidates, so that the client could see&nbsp;their presentation and communication skills</li>
<li>A comprehensive assessment of the candidates&rsquo; soft skills, to ensure they would be a good fit for the client&rsquo;s working environment and culture</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Part of our unrivalled candidate care includes delivering safety management and a safety assessment of the working environment; we worked closely with the client to ensure that conditions were suitable and all safety standards were adhered to</li>
</ul>
<h2>RESULTS</h2>
<p>Evolve sourced 8 Technical Officers who were all on site fulfilling their role within a week, fully payrolled.</p>
<p>Some of our recruits were so successful in their contract placement that the client went on to employ them as full time permanent employees.</p>
<p>Due to the high calibre of talent supplied, to this date we continued to work with the client and are now their preferred supplier for food science qualified candidates and QA professionals.</p>

Based in Sydney, our client owns and manufactures some of the biggest food and beverage brands in Australia.

Sourcing Food Scientists// Sydney

<h2>THE CLIENT&rsquo;S CHALLENGE</h2>
<p><strong>Our client delivers their services to other companies. Following several urgent requests from big industry names, they needed help in finding 10 highly skilled lab technicians for mineral processing project work in a short time frame. The client does not have the ability to find and qualify scientific candidates at such short notice due to the local market and lack of active job seekers.</strong></p>
<h2>OUR SOLUTION</h2>
<p><strong>Applying our technical knowledge:</strong> Throughout our relationship we have delivered large numbers of Lab Technicians with very specific technical capabilities to the client and were once again able to leverage this knowledge to steer our market search. Some of the key skillsets required included candidates with geotechnical and inorganic analysis experience, as well as solid XRF and XRD instrumentation experience.</p>
<p><strong>Comprehensive candidate qualification:</strong> We apply in-depth pre-screening techniques to ensure that only the highest calibre of personnel are put forward for a first stage interview.</p>
<p><strong>Leveraging our local networks:</strong> All the people we placed are local to the South Australia market.</p>
<p><strong>Unrivalled candidate care:</strong> we treat the candidates as if they are employees of Evolve, taking care of all practical logistics to ensure everyone is supported and can do the job properly - from ensuring they have a valid visa / work permit in place, to orchestrating their vaccinations, pre-employment medical check-ups and competency assessments.</p>
<h2>RESULTS</h2>
<p>Our market knowledge, capacity to place volume numbers of staff and ability to act with pace means we are now the client&rsquo;s preferred supplier for their technical and scientific roles.</p>
<p>At their staffing peak, we placed over 20 key technical contractors and lab technicians in just under 10 days.</p>

We have been working for the client for over a decade. They play a vital role in the global mining industry by providing testing, inspection and certification services to large scale mining companies.
