Client Success Story: Hiring their first UK based employee for their new site
Our client, seeking to expand their operations into the UK market, was looking for a trustworthy partnership to help them hire their first UK-based employee for their new site. Huxons came highly recommended through a mutual recruitment partner. We provided comprehensive support throughout the recruitment process, from understanding their specific needs to sourcing and screening candidates. With our guidance, the client successfully hired a highly qualified individual who not only fit the role but also aligned with their company culture. This key hire has enabled the client to establish a strong presence in the UK and continue their growth trajectory in this new market.
Conduct Market Research
We needed to source an Export Team Lead with a niche requirement: someone who had experience working with specific internal systems unique to our client’s operations. This expertise was essential to ensure seamless integration and operational efficiency from day one.
Build Strong Relationships
We held numerous meetings with our client, sharing our expertise and market knowledge, advising on UK employment laws and regulations, and educating them on UK working standards and our operational practices. This guidance helped them navigate the complexities of entering the UK market with confidence.
Invest in Marketing
By combining our expertise, market knowledge, and resources, we successfully headhunted a fantastic talent with the right attitude and skill set. Despite leaving his previous role for a new job, he came highly recommended by his former employer, highlighting the exceptional value he brings to our client.
Successfully hired an Export Team Lead
Having the right person in the Export Team Lead position is crucial, as they ensure efficient operations, compliance with regulations, and smooth coordination across global supply chains. A skilled leader in this role can optimise logistics, reduce costs, and enhance customer satisfaction, directly contributing to the growth and success of the business in the competitive UK market.
Client Success Story: Expanding their Warehouse Operations
The second requirement was more specific and niche. The client needed an Export Packer with experience in specialised internal systems and processes used by only a few companies, making the talent pool very limited. Despite the specific requirements, we achieved a substantial quick turnaround and successfully hired an Export Packer.
Precision in Advertising Campaign
We launched an advertising campaign specifically tailored to target candidates with the precise experience and skill set required for the role, and successfully attracted the right calibre of talent.
Interview and Client Meeting
We successfully arranged an interview where our client flew to the UK site. One of our directors drove approximately 5 hours to meet the client on-site, introducing them to the previously hired Export Team Lead and conducting the interview with the new Export Packer. This visit provided valuable insights into their processes and future plans.
Understanding the Importance of Hiring Criteria
The interview with the Export Packer was successful, leading to an immediate hire. Recognising the importance of defining precise candidate criteria, our client had a clear vision of their needs, and Huxons executed the assignment swiftly and effectively.
Positive Onboarding Process and Candidate Experience
After successfully hiring the Export Packer, the client ensured a smooth onboarding process by providing all necessary tools, resources, and training. They even flew the new hire to their US site for an exceptional induction experience, allowing the new starter to meet the US team and immerse themselves in the company’s culture.
