The Brief:

PageGroup had previously supported Elvie after its first round of funding in 2017. Based on the expertise and agility, Elvie re-engaged PageGroup in 2019 to support the initial phase of 80 hires across both Bristol and London sites. After a 4-agency pitch process, Page Outsourcing was appointed their exclusive partner.

The Solution:

Page Outsourcing assigned a project lead and dedicated resourcing team, which would be dialled up & down dependent on the phase of transformation. The project lead and stakeholder director were fully accountable for reporting and driving continued efficiencies throughout the initial phase of hiring.

Page Outsourcing built and deployed best in class media and PR strategy and consistently invested into the engagement of both passive and active candidates, whilst also headhunting in key employers. Page Outsourcing created an engaging landing page and an insightful candidate pack brochure highlighting the employee value proposition of Elvie.
