Case Study 2.
Case Study 1.
LaTrobe University
NSW For Transport
In line with LaTrobe’s new procurement strategy, Vertical Talent recruited a Director of Procurement and transitioned the department to a strategic procurement model. We sourced passive talent, managed internal candidates, designed interview questions, performed face to face short listings, facilitated panel interviews and conducted comprehensive background checking.
Fully outsourced, Vertical Talent successfully recruited over 100 roles in Australia’s largest procurement and supply chain transformation. With three large scale recruitment projects, this highly consultative, bespoke process, involved the management of over 2,500 applications from both internal and external candidates.
During phase two, Vertical Talent worked closely with the newly appointed Director of Procurement to recruit two category management roles.
Due to our success, Vertical Talent was further tasked with the restructure in the Logistics and Supply Chain divisions and establishing a new Contract Management department within Sydney Trains.
By utilising case studies as an additional layer to assess candidates and introduce them to key internal stakeholders, true value-add was delivered resulting in the perfect talent being placed where required.
Case Study 3. Sigma
Vertical talent was selected to map the Procurement market on behalf of Sigma Pharmaceuticals. Sigma were transforming their procurement function from a BAU model to one that was strategically aligned to corporate objectives. The brief was very clear. We were to open up conversations with ‘best in class’ Strategic Sourcing Managers at a leadership and team member level. The behaviours we had to assess include sophisticated engagement skills, category domain expertise and a proven track record of delivering savings. We delivered seven new hires into Sigma against mutually agreed timelines and with no disruption to Sigma’s day-to-day operations.
