Sodexo

Instant Success

CSG Talent first worked with Sodexo to source their Head of Resource for the UK and Ireland. The company struggled internally to find the right calibre of candidate with only standard recruitment methods such as job boards available to them. From the shortlist of candidates compiled by CSG’s specialist consultant, Sodexo appointed the first candidate presented, beginning their partnership with a successful outcome.

After successfully fulfilling the initial assignment, Sodexo tasked CSG with sourcing a Workplace Director.

This role was particularly challenging as it had numerous, very specific responsibilities.  It required innovation to implement new workplace technologies and to improve staff retention, and was based in a location with very few appropriate candidates.

With little talent in the local area, CSG conducted a full talent search, interviewing candidates across the whole of the UK. As the role was very specialist, and relatively uncommon, CSG utilised carefully crafted adverts, headhunting and exhaustive networking to secure the right candidate.

The relationship

Since this role, CSG has filled numerous other positions for Sodexo, including their Managing Director for Defence in Cyprus, and Business Directors for Energy in both Aberdeen and Houston.

We uphold strong relationships with seven key stakeholders within Sodexo, from HR Directors to Directors of Engineering.

As a result of so many successful placements, CSG  maintains a strong, on-going working relationship with Sodexo, working most often on a retained basis.
