Covidien - Supply of contract managers
The timely provision of high calibre specialist project managers from Provek have assisted Covidien, enabling them to deliver their key change programmes throughout the UK and Europe on time, to quality and cost.
The challenge
Covidien is a leader in its healthcare field which spans 59 different countries with some 41,000 employees. To enable the achievement of their many and varied project goals, Covidien required a number of high quality project staff with a range of specialist language and technical abilties.
Provek’s experienced recruitment consultants had to use their knowledge and expertise to locate not only the technical and specialist abilities required but also to ensure that the candidates were a good cultural fit.
The solution
Over the past two years, Provek worked closely with the client to understand carefully the requirements for each position. As a specialist in programme and project management recruitment, Provek has then sourced good quality candidates for all positions. Some of the roles have required specialist domain knowledge in areas such as pricing or sales as well as core project management skills.
The benefits
Nigel Fryer, Director, EMEA Programme Management & Portfolio, says "The staff supplied by Provek have all proved their ability to understand and deliver solutions to the immediate project needs and many have also shown their professionalism and experience to see beyond the immediate challenges. The trusted relationship with Provek and the professional support provided to their contractors whilst on assignment, is a critical success factor."
