Recruitment Case Study: 13 Vacancies Filled in Two Weeks
Updated: 3 days ago
A company was struggling to fill a number of vacancies and needed hands-on HR support to create momentum and move candidates through the recruitment process quickly and consistently.
The challenge
The recruitment process had stalled and the business needed practical support to progress candidates from interview through to onboarding without losing structure or candidate experience.
The approach
I took ownership of the recruitment journey from interview stage through to onboarding. This included first interviews, second interviews, offers, reference checks, issuing contracts and confirming start dates.
The outcome
Within two weeks, 13 roles had been successfully filled and progressed through to onboarding.
The value was not simply filling vacancies quickly. It was creating structure, pace and accountability in a process that had previously struggled to deliver, while keeping each candidate moving through a clear and consistent recruitment journey.

Building a recruitment process that could keep working
Alongside filling the immediate vacancies, I implemented a new recruitment process to give the organisation a clearer and more consistent route from application through to onboarding.
This included a structured approach to first and second interviews, offers, references, contracts, confirmed start dates and onboarding. I also trained the relevant managers so they understood the new process, their responsibilities and how to apply it consistently after my direct involvement ended.
The result was therefore more than 13 vacancies filled within two weeks: the business also had a stronger recruitment framework and better-equipped managers to sustain the improvement.
