2022 VEC Case Study

After understanding the client’s needs, we selected a team of 10 dedicated recruitment consultants and, with the help of our cross-functional teams (Marketing, Systems, and Payroll teams), reached out to prospective candidates.

Apart from the initial baseline numbers, within 48 hours, VEC requested our team to source an additional 100 Surge Hub Support Officers on the election day across multiple hubs and as many as possible Telephone Assisted Voting Officers at the Centralised Activities Site (100 candidates placed).We achieved a 98% fill rate with less than 5% dropp-off, which included COVID affected and sickness absence ( includes initial baseline numbers and additional support needed with 48 hours notice).
