The particular challenges we were faced with for this assignment included;
Executive search was our primary method to identify candidates. We supported our executive search with some online advertising at the client’s request, as they wished to have transparency of the recruitment process. Our executive search focused on identifying all the suitably qualified individuals who had significant leadership experience in health & safety at a senior level within:
We were successful in recruiting the Health & Safety Director from another major UK rail infrastructure project, who was highly credible at senior level. Crossrail were very happy with the outcome as we were able to appoint a talented and capable H&S Leader, who also improved the diversity of their senior leadership team.
This is what the HR Director for Crossrail, Dawn Barker said:
Newsom Consulting have delivered a number of high calibre people to the project, they always ensure they understand the brief and work to tight timescales. Given the choice I would always use Jim for future assignments.
The approach we have taken is a mixture of search and advertisement, and in all instances success has been achieved. We consider Jim and his team to be an extension of our recruitment team rather than a supplier.
