OUR STORY Adding value to your business At Hernshead, we work with you rather than for you. We believe there are three important components to how we work together. The pricing we offer, the content we provide and the sectors we understand. PRICING We understand that different circumstances require different approaches and therefore work to different budgets. We pride ourselves on our pricing being both transparent and logical. CONTENT Contrary to popular belief, recruitment isn’t all about making placements. Working with you to grow your brand and to promote you, both on a recruitment level and a wider business level. SECTORS We’re not a ‘one-for-all’ recruitment business. We know our industries and that’s all we specialise in. The engineering world isn’t how it was 20 years ago, the technology involved is ever-growing and that’s where we come in. Where Engineering and Technology converge, that’s where we’ll be.

DIGITAL MANUFACTURING CENTRE The SOLUTION Having identified that the challenge for the DMC was to increase awareness of their brand and new facility and to attract high calibre talent (potentially from outside the local area) we put together a two part solution to them. Firstly we created content and began a PR exercise targeting candidates, from showcasing the facility while being built, producing documentation for candidates about the facility and also providing a testimonial from Lord Sugar. Following this we mapped the entire AM market for the business and then strategically targeted in partnership with them, key hires for the business utilising bespoke interviews and assessment days to attract candidates. The RESULTS A year after our initial launch video, we visited the DMC again to reflect on their growth and their journey in the new facility, as well as showing the facility in its full glory now it’s complete. By working exclusively with the DMC and through creating bespoke content for them, we have now played a key role in their growth to a business of over 20 employees supporting some of the biggest names in Automotive, Aerospace, Space and Defence. Our key hires have now been promoted within the business as it grows and we continue to work with the DMC identifying future hires and advising on their growth plans for the business. THEY SAID “Most importantly for us, and the main reason that we have had such success with Hernshead, is that it does not feel like working with a typical recruitment agency. Both Tom & Dan have huge credibility across our management team due to the reliable service, the professionalism and the added value (such as video content) that they bring to us. A recruitment agency should add value to the business through quality candidates and an easy service which is exactly what we get from Hernshead. They know the market well and would be an asset to any other business looking for a recruitment partner.“ – Nigel Robinson, Chief Operating Officer at DMC. THE CONTENT The Brief The Digital Manufacturing Centre (DMC) is an additive manufacturing centre based in the Silverstone Technology Park and a member of the Silverstone Technology Cluster. DMC was founded in 2020 by KW Special Projects (KWSP). KWSP are a high-performance engineering consultancy who have worked with Hernshead since 2020. Due to our close partnership with KWSP and also our existing relationship with the DMC’s Chief Operating Officer, we were engaged to help launch awareness of the new DMC facility and gain attention to the brand and to the exciting capabilities in the Additive Manufacturing market.

PEAK TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS The Brief Peak Technology Solutions are automation specialists who focus on optimising their clients’ manufacturing assets. They work in a multitude of sectors such as Utilities, Food, FMCG and Pharmaceuticals, with clients such as Kellogg’s, Pepsico and Thames Water. It can be really tough to find people in the Controls & Automation Sector so the main focus was to find new ways to target the right people in the market and raise the awareness of the brand. The SOLUTION Working exclusively with Peak, we formed a Recruitment Partnership, working extremely closely with the team there to strategise on how to engage the right candidates and also get their name known in the market so when we were speaking with Controls and Automation Engineers or Project Managers, they had heard of Peak and already had a desire to work there. We optimised a specialised Recruitment microsite for Peak, and then created a series of videos with the team at Peak, created a podcast episode with Michael Thomas, the Executive Director and most recently, created a Work For Us video for the Reading office as part of a recruitment drive. The RESULTS The creation of the Microsite and the associated content which was promoted in conjunction with the Peak Marketing Team saw a rise in candidate engagement and conversion from Initial contact to placement. In this time we have delivered a number of senior hires across all offices along with attracting Engineers from Competitors, who got to see behind the scenes of the business before committing to an interview. Equally the content and insight to the business has been invaluable in securing talent from other sectors who have bought important transferrable skills. THEY SAID “I have worked with Tom for a number of years now, and have been entirely impressed with his attitude, dedication and technical knowledge. He has thorough understanding of industrial process and requirements for the sectors he operates in. He sets himself apart from others with his fantastic attention to detail. A quick and effective communicator, I would be happy to recommend him and Hernshead as a company to anyone.” – Matt Bulled, Associate Director at Peak. THE CONTENT
