Capability:
In 2007 Elan placed in excess of 2000 Security Cleared staff
working within the Defence & Aerospace sector. As such we have
also developed a substantial database of previously vetted
candidates with the suitable skills and experience of the sector.
This dramatically reduces the time to hire for our clients. Many of
our consultants are cleared to SC level to enable them to attend
site meetings and be involved in recruitment planning.
- Local

Elan has a wide geographical footprint, which enables us to
resource and support you locally and nationally. Our Shared Service

offices in the UK and Europe along with our onsite locations, play
a central role supplying recruitment services to clients across the
UK.

We are able to source both technical and non-technical staff though
the Elan team and the wider Manpower Group network. In addition we

engage the support of our sister company Right Management

Candidate Attraction - Finding You the Best
TalentThrough the use of our wide range of candidate
attraction and sourcing strategies, both locally, nationally and
internationally, Elan are able to deliver quality resources to our
clients. We have significantly improved the CV response times, and
therefore reduced the time to hire, with many of our existing
clients
We work consultatively with Client hiring managers to determine the
most appropriate recruitment strategies to employ to fill each
vacancy. We supply candidates through one or a combination of more
than one of the following three approaches:
- Contingency Search
- Campaign Management
- Search/ Headhunting
The most relevant strategy will depend on the type of
vacancy we are required to fill; for example, many vacancies are
filled with candidates registered with Elan or the Manpower Group
or found through networking around known candidates. An advertising
campaign is successful at attracting candidates who are currently
employed but beginning to look for new opportunities. If the role
is very senior or involves a rare skill set, we will conduct an
executive search, proactively but realistically selling your role
to professionals who are not actively seeking a new
opportunity.
Contingency SearchWe utilise contingency search to
rapidly identify candidates. We have an extensive live database
with over 700,000 candidates registered across the UK and US. We
search the internal database to identify relevant candidates and
network within specific niche skill areas to find further
candidates through referrals. We adopt a proactive and
sophisticated approach to resource development, utilising
integrated media campaigns to source new candidates and to build
the equity of the Elan/Manpower brands amongst future
applicants.

- Incentives & Referral Schemes
- Downsizing and Outplacement

Campaign ManagementWe specialise in
managing recruitment advertising campaigns. Commissioning
advertising campaigns attracts applicants who may not be identified
via traditional search strategies and widens the pool of quality
candidates for you to choose from. Professional campaigns will
raise an organisation's profile amongst candidates and position the
company as an innovative organisation, employing leading edge
technology. We have extensive experience working with the media and
advertising agencies. Our Campaign Management service includes:
- Planning advertising campaigns
- Purchasing media space at preferential rates
- Consultatively managing the design & production of copy
& graphics
- Conducting preliminary interviews & technical testing
- Running assessment centres
- Feedback on effectiveness of each advert
- Adherence to defined Service Level Agreements at each stage of
the process
Search/ HeadhuntingTo supplement
press advertising and contingency search, we also conduct executive
search to identify the ideal candidate for our clients. Recruiting
senior level personnel is a sensitive task; often the person who
best fits your brief will already be performing effectively in a
similar position elsewhere and not openly looking for a new job. We
specialise in recruitment of senior level staff and through our
international network of contacts we have access to the people that
will deliver excellence for business critical roles.
