The Challenge

Cisco needed a Senior Director to lead a 300-person engineering team in the UK, USA and India.

Candidates would need experience managing a large and diverse engineering team across continents. Specific product knowledge was also critical to Cisco.

The role would have the potential to progress to Vice President level, managing the engineering and commercial developments of an important product stream.

The Solution

For such a specific role Evolution suggested a retained headhunt approach. This gave our Key Accounts team the scope to undertake a global search for candidates.

Evolution worked with Cisco to write and define a comprehensive job specification.

We began a series of activities to discover, attract and short list candidates for Cisco.

A structured interview and screening process ensured the candidates were of quality Cisco required.

Case Study – CISCO

The Results

Evolution delivered the Senior Director of Engineering whilst also identifying two Senior Sales professionals who were hired by Cisco.

Evolution now work with Cisco working on many global recruitment campaigns.

These include retained executive assignments, specialist niche technical searches and volume recruitment outsourcing campaigns.

“I have used Evolution for a number of years on various assignments. I find Evolution offer an exceptional service that ranges from hard to fill executive search assignments to volume recruitment campaigns. I am happy to recommend Evolution as a trusted supplier to Cisco.”

The Challenge

DCSL were looking for the top 20 percentile of developers in the marketplace.

Due to a long recruitment process they were regularly losing potential candidates. DCSL were only looking to UK based developers, without consideration for European candidates.

The Solution

Evolution worked intensively with DCSL to show them they were missing out on a lots

of talented candidates from the European marketplace.

We worked with DCSL to improve the time the recruitment process took, whilst also

convincing them to interview candidates based in Europe.

Using Video interviews, something DCSL had not considered, high quality candidates

from Europe were now accessible to DCSL.

Case Study – DCSL Software

Whilst Video interviews do not replace face-to-face techniques, they provide DCSL enough information to decide whether to progress candidates from Europe further.

The Results

Evolution have placed 26 developers with DCSL in the last 15 months. 24 of these were based in Europe and relocated to the UK to work for DCSL.

The development team at DCSL has subsequently tripled in size and their employer brand has received increased exposure in thecandidate marketplace.

DCSL can now service more clients as a result of the team’s growth.

Evolution are a pleasure to work with – they are fully engaged with DCSL. They don’t question our decisions when we reject candidates for failing to live up to our expectations.

They have continued to provide a competitive service and we look forward to a continued successful relationship in years to come.”
