Case Studies in Managed Recruitment and Assessment

How we helped Greggs find the best ingredients

When Penna was appointed to manage British Sugar’s 2008 graduate campaign, we had already developed a campaign that attracted more engineering and commercial applicants than ever before, as well as a new application and recruitment process that proved to be more effective than previous years. For 2009, we were asked us to help them recruit more graduates within the same budget as previously.

Hiring more talented graduates without increasing the budget

With three different graduate schemes (professional services, operations management and engineering) and a number of graduate roles, our challenge was to develop a robust end-to-end recruitment solution in order to attract, select and recruit enough talented graduates to fill all roles.

End-to-end recruitment solutions for difficult-to-fill graduate roles

Microsoft may be the world’s biggest software company as well as one of the best known brands, but it had struggled over the years to hire enough graduates of the right quality to meet its needs. We were asked to help develop an integrated solution that would help them attract and recruit more and better candidates than they'd been able to hire in the past.
