What is Evolution’s relationship with CliniSys?

Not only do we source and hire all of their talent, but we also provide a virtual talent department, that scales up or down to meet the ever-changing resource requirements of CliniSys. We manage their entire internal and external recruitment supply chain and provide value added services across recruitment, HR and marketing. This includes interview training, EVP training and the management of their Careers website, “We Love Pathology”. Overall it is a genuine partnership whereby we are trusted to manage their recruitment strategy and everything that supports it.

How does the recruitment partnership work?

SMEs that need to hire large volumes of candidates who work in niche specialisms often find that having an internal recruitment team at a competitive level can be an extremely high cost resource.

Ultimately, we are their virtual talent acquisition department, fully integrated into their HR function. This means that we work in partnership with them, both remotely from Evolution’s Head Office and onsite, providing the full recruitment process outsourcing for all roles, from vetting candidates and arranging interviews to negotiating and making offers.

What were the biggest issues CliniSys had with contingent recruitment?

There were three key issues CliniSys had with contingent recruitment; firstly, resource and demand on hiring managers. By utilising our TaaS service, we were able to support CliniSys by giving the management team their time back, and increasing the resources available to them for hiring.

Secondly, the time to hire was excessive which meant that there were issues within the business around filling open positions.

Thirdly, another issue was determining the CliniSys EVP (employer value proposition) – namely, how they actually market and “sell” their business and their brand to prospective candidates to join the business. Analysing this helped CliniSys really look at what the company stands for and the corporate values they espouse, what they’re trying to do to attract candidates to the company, as well as delivering value to UK healthcare.

What is the key value TaaS has provided to CliniSys?

The key value TaaS provides, in comparison to contingent recruitment, is you are working with a true partner. As the relationship between Evolution and CliniSys has developed, our experience of their business has developed organically for over a decade, meaning we truly understand the culture of the business. This also means the fit of the people joining CliniSys are the best possible talent that they can hire.

What problems has TaaS solved?

In addition to the day-to-day, there are challenges that come with running a business. In one case, CliniSys had to double the size of one of its development teams extremely quickly for a critical international business project, and the entire process took approximately six weeks. The feedback from CliniSys was that they particularly found the dialogue between ourselves and their hiring managers to be what they were looking for, and the development team we hired for them is still in place, which speaks for itself.

What is TaaS?The aim of TaaS is to aid growth within your business and reduce the well-known time-intensive drag of the recruitment process. Evolution Recruitment Solutions works as your virtual talent function, whereby TaaS is a recruitment partnership, not simply a third party to help with your new hires – even working onsite as opposed to virtually, if this works better for your business.

Our services also include an operational talent function, with weekly calls, monthly meetings and services such as technical testing for candidates, where applicable.

Through TaaS, you will receive

your own dedicated Virtual

Talent Manager who is able

to organise and manage all

aspects of the recruitment

process; all your business will

need to do is interview the

candidates and decide who you

would like to hire.

What is the best thing about Talent as a Service?

By working in partnership with customers, we are able to provide a great recruitment experience for both candidates and clients. Evidence of this great experience is highlighted by the +83 NPS (Net Promoter Score) we received from candidates and clients who work with Evolution.

What are Evolution’s IT recruitment specialisms in the healthcare sector?

Whilst working with CliniSys, we have recruited a huge range of professionals. From developers, project managers and biomedical scientists moving into a software career, to business service professionals including marketers, accountants and sales staff, we have helped tie together the different parts of CliniSys with the right talent.

With other healthcare clients we have recruited everything from software engineers and data science specialists, to cybersecurity experts and mobile app developers. Our specialist areas cover anything IT and tech related, and we have worked with a huge range of clients on a variety of roles in the healthcare sector, with CliniSys being our most long-standing client to date.

Why should other healthcare companies work with Evolution for their tech recruitment? When we get to know our clients, we know the ins and outs of the business, what the culture is like, the specific role requirements and the soft skills needed, too.

TaaS isn’t the only recruitment service Evolution specialises in – we offer everything from contingent recruitment to contract recruitment and bespoke packages depending on the business’ recruitment needs. Get in touch
