Case study Outsourced Recruitment – WRc plc

Recognising that recruitment would be critical to ambitious plans for significant growth and expansion, WRc retained Melbury Search to provide an in-house recruitment service that successfully recruited high-calibre professionals at all levels.

Bringing Melbury Search in as our in-house recruiters proved invaluable in terms of professionalising and enhancing our recruitment processes. Using their wealth of experience, they were able to source a great talent pool and ensured a fantastic candidate experience from start to finish.

I wish we had engaged the services of Melbury Search years ago.  Frances Smith, HR Director, WRc plc
