With a Key Objective to Attract More PEOPLE from the Industry, We Were ENTRUSTED TO TRANSFORM the OBJECTIVE TO REALITY

Our journey as a trusted recruitment partner with JEMCA began with a visionary objective to facilitate the transformation of their recruitment process and attract top talent.  

Prior to our partnership, JEMCA employed a decentralised recruitment agency model. This approach led to challenges such as limited visibility into recruitment costs and an average time-to-offer of 7 weeks.

Over time, we have delivered remarkable results, getting over 500 successful placements. We initiated our recruitment partnership with a 6-month trial period, which paved the way for an additional 6-month Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) contract. Recognising the value we brought, JEMCA extended this contract to a 3-year agreement, with additional renewals in 2018 and 2021.

Testimonial...

“Having undertaken a thorough market analysis whilst running our recruitment review, it quickly became apparent that the offering of MBA went far beyond those of contingent agency recruiters. The partnership has deployed a heavy-hitting employer branding project, and having a dedicated resource team ensures that our recruiters live and breathe the Jemca culture, and an exceptional candidate experience. We are benefitting from numerous operational and financial efficiencies, and we look forward to a long and prosperous relationship.”
