Reed Consulting, leaders in HR outsourcing and consultancy services, today announced the successful delivery of recruitment support for the second phase expansion of the Screwfix retail network.
Screwfix Direct Limited, part of the Kingfisher group of companies, is the leading multi-channel supplier to the Trade market, providing access to over 14,000 products. Established as a mail-order business over thirty years ago, Screwfix has more recently developed successful online and Trade Counter channels, and now employs over 2500 across the UK. After a successful pilot of seven branches in 2005, 2006 saw the implementation of a roll-out plan to deliver a further 30 branches. Continued expansion is planned throughout 2007-8.
ìOur business strategy continues to focus on the highly successful Trade Counter model. Reed Consulting has helped us to recruit large numbers of staff in a short timeframe and across a wide geography, which has been critical to the expansion and continued success of our businessî comments Emma Lambert, Resourcing Manager at Screwfix Direct.
The campaign required the planning, design and delivery of a comprehensive interviewing programme for simultaneous implementation at multiple locations. Reed Consulting created and delivered a flexible yet cost-effective, high volume process that delivered increased quality and substantial cost savings against the previous approach.
