The Brief:

We were tasked with creating an RPO to expand the technology (cyber security experts, software developers, systems analysts, architects, data engineers, etc.) and commercial areas of the company. Our team was also responsible for analysing Vivo’s existing staff structure and satisfaction to create career development plans and internship programs.

Diversity: focus on finding women for tech jobs and people over 50 for shortlist diversity
Daily, weekly, and monthly reports to present results
Control and management of indicators for Page Outsourcing and other R&S providers
R&S management using ATS (Gupy)
