The Client
A medium-sized industrial cleaning specialist.
The Issue
• We had set up a labourer to do some weekend work, jet-washing a building, which had to be completed by Monday morning.
• The job involved working at height on scaffolding so it required some experience.
• The client called Gemma Phillips, Recruitment Consultant at Daniel Owen, at 7am on Saturday to say that the labourer hadn't turned up.
The Solution
• Consultant Gemma came in to the office and spent Saturday morning finding replacements to carry out the work the next day.
• She already had several labourers in mind. Their references had been checked, and she knew they were reliable and trustworthy.
• Within a few hours, she had arranged for two labourers to make up for lost time on the Sunday.
The Result
• The work was finished on schedule.
• The client was pleased with our dedication to finding a solution.
• The time we take to build relationships with both clients and candidates really paid off.
Gemma says: "We don't stop putting the effort in when we win the business. It's important for clients to know that we're around, even out of hours."
