The Problem
SCC encountered persistent challenges characterised by staffing shortages and obstacles in filling substantive positions over an extended period. In response to these issues, the focus was directed towards the recruitment of Educational Psychologists who not only possessed the necessary qualifications but also met the stringent criteria outlined by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
The primary objective was to address these staffing gaps promptly and efficiently, ensuring that qualified professionals were brought on board in alignment with the specified criteria, thereby enhancing the overall capacity and capability of the team.
The Solution
In a collaborative engagement, Panoramic Associates conducted a comprehensive briefing session with SCC to gain a thorough understanding of their current circumstances and specific requirements.
This involved delving into the intricacies of their staffing challenges, as well as the unique qualifications and skills needed for the vacant positions. Armed with a comprehensive understanding of SCC’s situation, Panoramic Associates diligently crafted a tailored proposal outlining suitable candidates who not only met their criteria but also demonstrated the capability to contribute effectively to their team. This collaborative approach ensured that the candidates presented were not just qualified on paper but aligned seamlessly with SCC’s organisational needs and goals, facilitating a streamlined and effective recruitment process.
The Result
Panoramic Associates have consistently demonstrated a commendable standard of excellence in delivering highly qualified candidates to SCC. Their commitment to ensuring the utmost quality is evident through our meticulous evaluation of candidates’ experiences and the provision of detailed CVs.
