In a candidate-driven market, competition for the best talent is fierce. Standing out from the competition, attracting the right people and achieving your goals can be particularly challenging. This is especially true in the capital, where candidates have more choice in terms of opportunity than possibly anywhere else in the country.

We’ve recently had the pleasure of working on some extremely exciting campaigns and, in partnership with our clients, achieved some great results.

UK Export Finance

It’s always a pleasure to work with new clients especially ones as ambitious and dynamic as UKEF.

UK Export Finance came to us as they needed to fill a number of posts within their ICT and PMO teams. The aims of the campaign were clear – raise UKEF’s profile with a Central Government audience and find some quality candidates to fill some particularly technical positions.

We designed a microsite that showcased their diverse portfolio of partners, as well as outlining their ambitions and the opportunities on offer.

The site proved incredibly popular and saw considerable levels throughout the campaign. We’re awaiting the final results but we’re optimistic for success. We look forward to working more with UKEF in the future.

Hammersmith and Fulham

Hammersmith and Fulham’s planning services have thrived in recent years as they continuously rise to the challenges presented by a large, busy borough.

As they looked to appoint a number of crucial roles to help them continue their track record of innovative work throughout the borough – they came to Jobsgopublic to help them find exactly the right people.

We designed a microsite to showcase the diversity of the work as well as the continued ambition of the service. It was also crucial that we included the story of current employees who’s enthusiasm is seen one the councils greatest assets.

To fill a high number of difficult role we needed to send considerable levels of quality traffic through to the site. This was achieved through a targeted attraction campaign and we were delighted to hear that the council have since shortlisted and made offers for every role.

Upcoming campaigns

Following the success of these recent campaigns, we’re eagerly anticipating those coming in the near future.

With each employer having their own unique story to tell, we love nothing more than to help them tell it. Those currently in the pipeline include:

• London Borough of Havering
• Croydon Council
• London Borough of Islington

Stay tuned for further announcements on these soon.

London SmartSearch Campaigns

As you may know, our SmartSearch service is designed to succeed in filling senior and executive positions where other methods so often fall short.

Moving away from expensive, outdated headhunting methods, SmartSearch is a data-driven, intelligence-led service that combines innovative online search, highly targeted messages and slick, dynamic application processes to secure exactly the right candidates.

We have recently had a flurry of successful campaigns for London authorities, including a couple of cases where the employer had unsuccessfully gone out to advert elsewhere several times before finding success with us.

These include:

• London Borough of Hillingdon – Head of ICT
• Enfield Council – Commercial Development Manager
• London Borough of Waltham Forest – Senior Asset Planner & Strategic Asset Manager
• London Borough of Havering – Assistant Director of Development
• Tower Hamlets Council – Category Manager: Health and Social Care
