Dovetail & Slate revolutionised City of Bristol College’s recruitment process, replacing multiple agencies with a dedicated Senior Recruitment Consultant. This resulted in the swift placement of 95 COVID-19 testers, with over 80% of contract positions filled within 7 days, boosting productivity and efficiency.
City of Bristol College is one of the South West’s largest further and higher education colleges. They have a range of academic and vocational courses available offering full and part-time study opportunities from entry to degree level.
The Challenge
Before partnering with Dovetail & Slate, the internal team at City of Bristol College was overstretched as they relied on communicating with multiple recruitment agencies to fill crucial roles.
This meant the team was unproductive, spending a lot of time communicating across multiple agencies and inconsistent, low-quality, candidates.
The Solution
To address these challenges, City of Bristol College decided to parter exclusively with Dovetail & Slate to streamline the process and address the college’s ambitious recruitment needs.
Negotiating preferential rates and prioritising them as a top client.
Onboarding a dedicated Senior Recruitment Consultant.
Establishing regular meetings to manage expectations.
The Results
By understanding the college’s unique requirements and previous recruitment issues, we were able to provide them with first-class, dedicated, and always-on support.
We developed great relationships with all college stakeholders, including the Senior Management Team and were able to provide them with consistently high-quality candidates, filling the role of 95 COVID-19 testers. This enhanced the City of Bristol College teams’ productivity and their time was used more efficiently.
Our exclusive partnership with the City of Bristol College is now entering its fourth year and we continue to find solutions to meet their recruitment needs, with the majority of contract roles being filled within 7 days.
