Permanent Recruitment - case study

Assignment – ‘PPM recruit 10 Project Managers for the IS Division of a major pharmaceutical’.
A well known pharmaceutical company needed to recruit 10 IS project managers for their manufacturing business, across the UK. The client retained PPM to select applicants to attend the Project Management Assessment Centre
After advertising in the Sunday Times and on our website we had 308 responses. We then selected the ‘best’ 60 to interview. Once we had completed this exercise we are able to put forward 28 candidates to attend the assessment centre.
The assessment centre ran for 4 days with 7 candidates seen each day. The candidates took part in a variety of Project Management exercises and were interviewed by our client. On day 5 they were scored on each competency. 13 candidates passed the process and PPM was able to source all 10 vacancies.
The whole process from interviewing the line managers and writing job specs through to advertising and negotiating offers took a total of 6 weeks.
”Our client said: Working with PPM was enjoyable and a success. We have worked with many search companies and have rarely been able to source all positions. We feel PPM’s knowledge of Project Management and their thorough recruitment process ensured we interviewed the right candidates. 
PPM are now our sole supplier of Project Managers in the UK.”
