The Brief

Get Claims Advice are a rapidly expanding mis-sold pensions specialist on a mission to win back compensation for their clients in the thousands, whilst providing a 5-star experience for all parties involved.

When we first had the pleasure of meeting the incredibly entrepreneurial MD of Get Claims Advice, he very kindly shared his disruptive yet ambitious, innovative and customer centric plans to take over the industry. Since then we are proud to say we have become their exclusive recruiter of choice.

The Challenge

The biggest challenges for Get Claims advice became apparent very quickly. Having previously made several poor hires, the team needed to take stock and analyse what good looked like.

Firstly, they had rapid growth plans with a large request for talent quickly.

Secondly, several of the active roles were in a candidate short market (an extremely popular talent pool to go fishing in, especially when you’re located close to the City).

Thirdly, the business operates a very modern 4 day working week with long hours that didn’t suit certain professionals.

And finally, there is a distinct culture fit that really makes a Get Claims Advice fit. I know, needle in a haystack, right?

The challenge is on!

The Approach

The People Pod required a robust hiring strategy to tackle each challenge head on. We scheduled numerous meetings with all functional heads and team members to truly understand each job role and the culture which makes Get Claims Advice so different. Having run out of coffee, cake and notepads, we finally understood their brand ethos, it’s services and their fantastic culture like it was our own.

We then put pen to paper to ensure that we all agreed what good looked like. We devised a tailor-made recruitment process which included a bespoke skills matrix on each individual job role just for Get Claims Advice. Both the team at the People Pod and their hiring managers implemented this matrix during every step of the recruitment strategy, be it screening, interviewing, assessment through to onboarding and ultimately candidates individual training needs analysis.

So, now we knew the culture and what good would look like, we implemented an engagement-based search campaign to rapidly attract and more importantly engage those in-demand talented professionals in the benefits of joining Get Claims Advice. Often these candidates are ‘in the market’ and not actively ‘on the market’, so we heavily target headhunted the competition to uncover such hidden gems.

Following numerous interviews and assessments days the results speak for themselves...
