Stand-out hires

Our client, a personal care product manufacturing company, underwent a significant transformation. They broke away from their parent company and needed support for their industrial placement year roles across the UK. This early careers programme had students learn ‘on the job’ as part of their coursework. The incoming application numbers soared through the roof, with over 650 applications. But our client was only looking to make 17 hires across 12 role types. Enter PeopleScout.
