2. Full project management approach and tailor-made project timeline

We will hold a project kick off meeting with key Raytheon stakeholders to discuss the specifics of the project, following on from which, we will take on full accountability for ensuring successful delivery. By conducting a thorough analysis of your resource needs, skills gaps and project timelines, Selina will draw upon available resources to deliver on-time, to-spec and to your satisfaction. Her responsibilities will include: ​

  • Acting as your main point of contact for the project​
  • Running project meetings (project initiation, progress updates and performance reviews)​
  • Building, coordinating and overseeing our Delivery Consultants’ delivery
  • Ensuring all SLAs and project milestones are met​
  • Identifying and removing any blockers that Raytheon or the project team are experiencing​
  • Managing data analytics/MI and producing reports for Raytheon​ on current progress and success
  • Closing-out the project (upon satisfaction from Raytheon) and recommending next steps
  • Provision of monthly market insight to inform bespoke candidate attraction and talent pooling strategy per role

Additionally, we advise against an initial heavy reliance on contractors, instead focusing on building a strong permanent team where feasible. This approach will help ensure long-term stability and continuity in delivery. Selina will monitor and adjust resource levels as project demands evolve, ensuring flexibility in hiring practices to efficiently meet changing demands and needs.

3. Candidate attraction methods, based on your recruitment needs

  • Over 65,000 followers on social media, which we can utilise to promote Raytheon's roles
  • Loyal networks from 40 years of successful Defence & Security recruitment. Due to our high level of contractor engagement and trust, 40% of the temporary placements we make come from contractors we have placed several times before
  • Job boards, including mainstream sites such as Indeed, CV Library and Jobsite, as well as more diverse, specialist sites to have full market reach
  • SourceBreaker, a market-leading AI-driven platform which enables powerful searching across a huge range of online sources such as social media and CV databases
  • Strong business partnerships; we also regularly attend industry events and form long-lasting partnerships, giving us access to candidate communities that would otherwise be unavailable. This includes partnering with organisations that are dedicated to promoting equal opportunities within the STEM industry
