Our work with Smart Energy GB
At the start of 2019, 3Search was introduced to Smart Energy GB to assist with marketing hires in their growing digital team. This was the first time we had worked with the business and so, as with any new client, we wanted to make sure that we were able to deliver on the role.
We met Penny Mills and the HR team, discussed the brief at length, and then put together a plan that would work for both Smart Energy GB and our timescales.
Understanding Smart Energy GB's marketing recruitment needs
Our recruitment plan was to leverage our network of digital candidates alongside a proactive search using various sourcing tools to identify candidates that matched the specific criteria we had discussed with Penny Mills, Smart Energy GB’s Head of Digital.
The first roles we assisted on were a Digital Producer role and a Website Manager role. We delivered shortlists that matched the client’s requirements quickly within the agreed time frame and Smart Energy GB offered on the two candidates shortly after.
Our work across the Smart Energy GB Team
Since our initial introduction to Smart Energy GB, we have supported on a number of hires, including the hiring of a Website and Performance Marketing Manager. Performance marketing specialist recruiter, Jasmin Eastwood, was able to find a great candidate in the space of just three weeks.
Jasmin really focused on finding a strong team and culture fit, something that can be difficult to do when working with a new company. But by taking the time to pre-screen all of the candidates selected and matching them to what we knew about the business and the individuals in the team, we were able to hit all of the requirements asked of us.
Building the business’ digital team
After this initial hire, Jasmin went on to work closely with Smart Energy GB to build out the digital team.
Jasmin continued to focus on a combination of skillset to match a strong personality fit, working to make sure that there would be a strong relationship between candidate and employer.
For me, working with Michael and the team at 3Search has always been a positive experience. Of course, with any recruitment process, there can be setbacks and challenges when hiring, however, I feel comfortable that they can be resolved and addressed in a professional way and always with my best interests in mind. I would happily recommend Michael and the team at 3Search.
Hear from our successful candidates...
I really appreciated Jasmin working with me to find the position that worked for me - she was open in hearing what my priorities are, and in making sure she only put me forward for the opportunities that fitted my goals. She was really effective at communicating throughout the process, keeping me up to date on developments and making sure she got me effective feedback. While searching for a new role can be very stressful, Jasmin's confident handling of the process and supportive open approach made this a really smooth and rewarding experience. Thank you, Jasmin, for all your support.
Jasmin has been great to work with throughout the whole recruitment process. She has been supportive and has answered every question with detail and care. I couldn’t recommend Jasmin more!
Working with Jasmin was a breeze from start to finish. She clearly explained everything I needed to know and do for my application, and I could rely on her to keep me updated throughout the application process. I'm soon to start an exciting new role, and it's thanks to Jasmin that I found out about it in the first place! I would really recommend working with Jasmin if you're looking for the next step in your career.
