After five decades how Listgrove will continue to deliver successful Global HR & Talent Solutions throughout 2024.

Although Listgrove does not possess an all-seeing crystal ball to foresee your exact talent challenges for 2024, we have been around long enough to know that there are certain things you can do this year to get ahead in terms of recruitment and HR.

How has Listgrove helped others?

The Background

In November 2023, the Head of HR at a leading global supplier of recyclable metal packaging was tasked with filling three critical roles for their site in the UK. Having worked on the roles with multiple agencies on a contingency basis for a number of months, and finding that candidates were largely not meeting the brief in terms of relevancy and quality, they decided that another approach was required. Following a recommendation from Dick Searle, CEO at The Packaging Federation, the client chose to collaborate with Listgrove for our industry specialism and proven results.

The Process

After a challenging eight months of interviews, meeting with candidates and struggling to fill the roles, upon partnering with Listgrove, the company was able to successfully fulfil all three roles within six weeks of engagement. The Listgrove team took the time time to truly understand the company’s needs, their culture fit and any additional technical requirements of the role.

The Successful Outcome

By utilising our longstanding international network, not only to find candidates but also to extract relevant market intelligence, Listgrove was able to drastically reduce the time-to-hire for a number of very key roles. On top of this, by sharing our knowledge and expertise with the client, we were able to ensure a professional recruitment process, best-practice in candidate experience and the foundations of talent-pipelining for future hires.


If you are looking for a recruitment partner that: knows your industry; will present your employer-brand with the utmost professionalism to attract the right talent and reduce your ‘time-to-hire’, our specialist consultants are here to help.
