Case Study: Confidential HR Restructuring Project for a Business Services Organisation
Our Consultant:
Lucy-Emma was approached by a client she has worked with for over 10 years, with (what was at the time) a highly P&C project.
The Brief:
Our client, a business services organisation, engaged us to lead a critical HR restructuring initiative at their Berkshire Head Office.
The assignment required five interim HR specialists to deliver rapid, confidential restructuring. Each role would last for an initial six months.
- TUPE Consultant
- HR Change Consultant
- HR Reorganisation Consultant
- HR Business Partner
- HR Advisor
Given the need for discretion and the interim nature of the roles, we anticipated a focused, specialised search.
The Process:
Our approach began with a comprehensive scoping meeting to understand the client's restructuring goals and the competencies crucial to each role. Drawing on her 20 years of experience, Lucy-Emma tapped into her extensive network of interim HR professionals for recommendations, while our team advertised the roles anonymously to maintain confidentiality. Lucy-Emma also used LinkedIn Recruiter for targeted searches, identifying individuals with the precise skill sets and reaching out directly.
Candidates were rigorously screened through competency-based interviews, ensuring alignment with both the technical demands and cultural expectations of the client.
The Outcome:
We filled the first position within a week and completed the entire project within four weeks. Each role was filled with a high-calibre candidate ready to make an immediate impact. The client expressed appreciation for the speed, quality, and confidentiality of the process, which was both efficient and consultative, delivering lasting value in a short timeframe.
