Case Study: Utilising Local Insights To Support An Overseas Law Firm New To Hampshire
Roles filled
Candidates interviewed per role on average
An offshore law firm that was in the process of setting up a Southampton office was facing challenges in hiring tech workers, due to the firm’s inexperience in the UK market and, more specifically, the Hampshire market.
The client's challenge...
The law firm was well accustomed to hiring for its existing overseas locations but had no experience in the UK job market. As they opened up new offices in London and Southampton, they sought out local recruitment agencies that could support them.
The law firm found us via Google, and after seeing our overwhelmingly positive Google reviews, which provided evidence of our extensive experience working in the Hampshire IT recruitment market, they enquired about how our team could help them with their workforce planning.
The organisation initially had no prior knowledge of the local area, so they relied on us for assistance. We worked closely with the HR team and hiring managers to help them understand the UK and Hampshire market in order to build their recruitment campaigns and employee value proposition accordingly.
Our actions...
As part of our services and our efforts to support the law firm in establishing a new office in Southampton, our team:
- Conducted a market mapping exercise for the tech specialisms they were looking to recruit in and provided insights on their direct competitors for this talent
- Offered specific consultative advice on the local market, employment laws, and regulations, so that the firm remained compliant while becoming an attractive employer in the UK
- Provided a range of cost-saving and effective recruitment solutions and consultative services for the firm
- Supported the firm through every stage of the recruitment process and gave them access to our wide networks of tech professionals in the Southampton and wider Hampshire region.
The outcomes...
Over the three years that we have worked with this law firm, we have placed 6 key technical professionals with them. We have built up a solid partnership based on trust and honesty.
Through detailed workforce planning, we have helped them secure talent for roles across Business Analytics, Project Management, Line Support, and more. These placements have enabled them to establish their presence within the UK.
"It was great to be able to offer holistic support to this overseas law firm new to Hampshire..."
