WHEN MARKET KNOWLEDGE DELIVERS MORE THAN ONE HIRE

How Strategic Recruitment Delivered Multiple Hires for Brocklesby

Brocklesby Ltd partnered with Emmerson Kitney to recruit an Operations Process Lead — a critical role requiring both technical capability and strong cultural alignment.

Like many businesses, the expectation was simple: find the right person.

THE EK APPROACH: MARKET KNOWLEDGE FIRST

At Emmerson Kitney, we don’t rely on job boards alone.

We lead with market knowledge recruitment strategies — giving our clients a competitive edge from day one.

Our approach included:

  • Mapping the local talent landscape
  • Identifying where the strongest candidates were already performing
  • Understanding competitor hiring activity
  • Engaging individuals aligned on both skillset and long-term fit

This is where recruitment changes.

It’s not about who applies. It’s about who you already know.

THE OUTCOME: TWO HIRES FROM ONE PROCESS

The result?

A shortlist of exceptional quality.

So strong, in fact, that Brocklesby Ltd made the decision to hire two candidates from a single recruitment process.

Not because they planned to —
Because they didn’t want to lose the talent.

This is the power of:

  • Market insight
  • Proactive talent mapping
  • Targeted candidate engagement

BUILDING ON SUCCESS:

Following this success, Brocklesby Ltd partnered with us again. This time to recruit a Supply Chain Planner.

The outcome remained consistent:

  • A high-quality shortlist
  • A streamlined, efficient process
  • A candidate who quickly made a measurable impact

CLIENT FEEDBACK:

“Rebecca’s understanding of our business and the market really stood out. The calibre of candidates was exceptional — we made multiple hires from one process. That only comes from knowing the talent landscape inside out.”
— Louise, Business Process Manager, Brocklesby Ltd

WHAT THIS DEMONSTRATES:

This isn’t about filling roles.

It’s about delivering a strategic recruitment advantage:

  • Reduced time to hire
  • Improved quality of hire
  • Greater return from every recruitment process

When you combine market knowledge with a true partnership approach, you don’t just hire.

You hire better.

READY TO ACHIEVE THE SAME RESULTS?

If you want:

  • Access to stronger candidate shortlists
  • Faster, more efficient hiring processes
  • Talent your competitors can’t reach

It starts with a conversation.
