Partnering on an RPO basis working together to make sure the right candidates to join the business at this critical growth phase.

Supported the business through sustained growth over TEN years

As specialists in RPO, we partner closely with our clients to become their in-house talent team focused on driving success through people. This is exactly what we have done with The Booth Group. We are supporting them to achieve their long term growth strategy.

We started our partnership by getting to grips with exactly what the business does, spending time in their operations and with their team to ensure we had a really good understanding of their culture, values and business needs. This time gave us invaluable insights and allowed us to become truly ingrained in their business so we could fully understand how best to support them in achieving their goals. By collaborating so closely we have fostered an open and honest relationship which has allowed us to help define what they needed to succeed.

Over the last decade of working together we have worked with The Booth Group on broad range of roles and consultancy projects. We have consulted with them and given insights to help shape their business and drive it in the right direction. We have mentored and developed their leadership team, supporting them with restructuring and given them support post acquiring and developing new sites and business units.

In a very traditional and heavily regulated sector The Booth Group are spearheading change, particularly around sustainability and we are exciting to be a part of that journey with them. Because their industry is so specialised, some of the roles we have worked for them have required us to source candidates with unusual skills and experience in a candidate short market, which is always challenging but our team of executive headhunters have always delivered.

The list of roles we have recruited for them is incredibly varied! Roles such as:

Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
Sales Director
Executive Assistant
Land Surveyor
Operations Manager
Finance Director
Head of Operations
Business Development Manager
Management Accountant
Health & Safety Manager
Customer Account Manager
Site Manager
Multi-Site Manager
Sales Administrator

As part of the Talent Expert partnership model with The Booth Group we are their internal recruitment team which goes beyond filling roles. We work with them to maximise their employer brand to ensure that when candidates are looking for a new role in their market they are the number one choice, we have refined the recruitment process and even trained their hiring manager on interview techniques.

We love working with John and the team, they trust us with their most valuable resource, their people.

We have worked with McCarthy for many years now as our RPO partner. The key difference working with them is culture fit, behaviours and time. We have found a significant improvement in efficiency around our hiring processes and a definite increase in the quality of the candidates we interview, we’ve been encouraged to be more open minded about candidates and taken people we would never have even interviewed before McCarthy and they are now high performers in our business. They are an extension of the Booth team and have built our employer brand immensely. Not only do McCarthy support on recruitment but they also support us with consulting projects which have included restructuring, leadership development and training. Their honesty, insights and straight-forward approach have been key to our success.
