Corporate Reference:Cordant Technical & Engineering Recruitment

Due to significant projected growth and a restructure of our existing and under-performing supply chain, I approached Cordant to partner with us to provide specialist engineering manpower solutions.

Given their knowledge of our market and a supportive, dedicated account team, I retained Cordant on an exclusive arrangement to provide national engineering services. This included some difficult to resource locations including Dounreay, Sellafield, Inverness and the South East of England.

From the initial programme launch, they have provided a swift response to our immediate, priority requirements. Since then, we have also worked in partnership to continuously improve our joint recruitment processes, brand awareness and candidate journey experience.

Account Performance:1:2 Assignment Fulfilment Rate1:3.5 Applicants Interviewed v Offers Of Employment Made 66% of CVs received result in an interview 75% of candidates contacted by Cordant pass an initial online technical test administered jointly by Bureau Veritas & Cordant

From supporting one initial business unit, their support has migrated to other units and we have subsequently invited Cordant to further expand their supply services across the whole of Bureau Veritas in the UK after a rigorous tender selection.

I would, therefore, have no hesitation in recommending the services of Cordant Technical & Engineering to other organisations who are seeking a specialist, pro-active and professional recruitment partner.

To Whom It May Concern:

Since 2006, Cordant has been one of the main suppliers of specialist engineering staff to Clarke Energy LTD. We have recruited a number of our full-time members of engineering staff from Cordant candidates that have shown a real interest and passion for our industry and have subsequently gone on to strive in our company.

Throughout my dealings with Cordant, I have always found them to be professional and knowledgeable. The team of consultants work hard to find the right candidate and ensure that the requirements of Clarke Energy LTD are met successfully.

I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of Cordant to other prospective agency users as they provide technical staff of a good calibre and a service that can be relied upon.

This was my first experience of working with Cordant Recruitment and I was very impressed with their professionalism. They listened to our requirements, took the time to make sure they understood our needs and would only send enough CVs for the vacancies not just anyone but the right applicants. Altogether Cordant Recruitment made recruiting and shortlisting candidates a lot easier especially for our hard to fill vacancies. They are professional, dedicated and courteous. It is refreshing to deal with a company with great ethics, high standards and values who listen to the clients wants and needs.

Kind Regards, Hayley FerrissHuman Resources
