Case Study | Interim Recruitment | Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council

​Partnering to create a desirable assignment in a competitive market

The combination of a maternity cover and an influx of work led to Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council requiring an experienced, part-time Locum to support their busy, Adult Social Care legal team.

Priorities Supported:

• Recruitment of an Adult Social Care Solicitor with the experience and personality required to embed quickly into this busy team

• Retain a specialist legal recruiter to take ownership of this requirement via the council’s MSP

• A cost-effective solution that would support the team three days per week

Experience Applied

• After the role was released on the MSP, we spoke with the client to refine the details of this role to ensure our response would be robust, accurate and efficient

• As a market leader in legal recruitment, we were able to partner with the client to shape a desirable brief for this competitive market

• Our market insight and team structures meant we could quickly pinpoint and brief suitable candidates

Outcomes Delivered

• A qualified and committed candidate was submitted within 24 hours of the role release and was offered the position following an online interview

• Understanding the high market demand for Adult Social Care Solicitors, we were fully up to date with the candidate’s other offers enabling us to create a package that would secure the candidate

• Supplying under the MSP umbrella in close partnership with the client, we provided an effective and compliant process ahead of competitors on the framework
