Beginning of a Partnership
The Story
Our story with EVRi' begins 7 years ago, where we recruited top talent for C-level positions (CIO, etc.) upon the former Morrisons HR Director's request.
Our flexible search model ensured we found the right cultural fit alongside the skills needed to shape EVRi's future. We identified key positions, crafted targeted descriptions, and leveraged our network for a successful recruitment strategy. Since then, we’ve worked closely and filled a number of key roles including:
CIO
Head of Service
Head of Engineering
Product Managers
Project Managers
Data Analysts
Beyond C-Suite:
Why We Were Trusted to Build Out EVRi’s Tech Teams
We soared past C-level placements, becoming EVRi's trusted partner for all talent needs. We placed top professionals in product, Java, Dev, and built their UX team from scratch.
Our secret sauce? Identifying EVRi's unique value proposition. Unlike others who saw just "parcel delivery," we showcased their exciting tech side, attracting high-calibre talent often overlooked by competitors.
From Parcel Delivery to Tech Powerhouse
We saw beyond the "parcel delivery" façade, uncovering EVRi's tech core. We placed top talent in product, Java, Dev, and built their UX team, fuelling their transformation. Our deep dives helped build a massive tech hub in Leeds, attracting talent that revolutionized their operations. Paper-based processes are a thing of the past; today, EVRi thrives on agile tech thanks to our partnership and senior hires.
Senior Hires that fuelled business growth
We secured transformative hires for EVRi, including CIO, Head of Service, and Head of Engineering. These leaders reshaped the company, aligning IT with business goals, prioritizing customer experience, and driving innovation. Their expertise positioned EVRi for long-term success.
“Ash reached out to me a few months ago to offer me a new role I might be interested in, from then until my start date and after at no point did, I ever feel like this wasn’t his focus.
He really went above and beyond going between myself and the client to ensure that both of us got the best result, to describe the whole experience as seamless would be doing him a disservice as I’m sure behind the scenes he was running around doing all the leg work but for me it was seamless.
He was knowledgeable and very easy to talk to, if you have the pleasure of Ash reaching out to you (or vice versa) you will be already a good step towards landing the role that you were after”
From parcel delivery to tech-driven innovation, I'm really proud to have contributed to EVRi's transformative journey through our strategic talent partnership. The 7 years that have gone by have quite honestly flown by, and in collaboration with EVRi's superb internal hiring team, we've helped shape their tech landscape, making 44+ impactful hires. We've established great synergy, and I'm looking forward to seeing it continue to develop!
“Ashley guided me through the recruitment process for my current role and another role which I decided not to proceed with. He's a great communicator, keeping me in the loop at every stage and shows a genuine interest in making sure that I find the right role for me. Next time I'm in the market for a move he'll be getting a call from me”
