Demanding Recruitment Brief INTERVIEW WITH: THE CHALLENGE “A instant opportunity presented itself when we successfully pitched and won an Auckland District Health Board contract to provide home based support services covering non-nursing roles right through to what the industry calls, complex nurse care,” says RDNS New Zealand’s General Manager, Anushiya Ponniah. “But what a business challenge!” adds Anushiya. We had only 13 weeks from the time of winning the contract to going live in New Zealand. In this time we had to establish our entire operation from finding office space and leasing vehicles right through to sourcing our entire staffing obligations of several hundred nursing staff to deliver our contact services. The pressure was well and truly on!” “This was definitely a recruitment challenge with the brief changing by the minute. For example we originally were planning on 10% of the contract being high-end clinically complex clients. This percentage suddenly jumped to 45%, which really put the pressure on sourcing experienced nursing staff – literally losing a day of recruitment time would have made the ‘go live’ date precarious – there was simply no room for anything to go wrong.” THE SOLUTION “We appointed Frog Recruitment simply from a great word-of-mouth reputation.” “Frog Recruitment simply stood out – as the very, very tight schedule necessitated our recruitment provider to be flexible and plan with us for challenges on a daily basis. In fact Frog undertook the challenge of recruiting 12 administration staff and 100 community carers all in a space of 9 weeks – and they did it! Not only did Frog get the job done within the tight schedule but they also provided a fantastic selection of candidates to choose from – this really impressed us considering the limited time and the fact that as an industry we find it difficult in the best of times to source good community carers. We had the luxury of choosing from a superb list of candidates that Frog Recruitment advertised, screened and then referred to us for interview – and those referred truly matched our values and experience criteria.” “The point of difference with Frog Recruitment is that they took the time to understand our requirements and to understand our style of management and culture – I believe it’s for these reasons that Frog really delivered to our demanding recruitment brief. I have to say you don’t normally come across this in recruitment companies.” “Frog was innovative and they proved that in their approach.” Please click here to find out how Frog Recruitment can help you find an innovative approach for your demanding recruitment brief. * RDNS is a fully owned subsidiary of Australia but registered charitable, not-for-profit in New Zealand |
