Project Brief

Veolia is the UK leader in environmental solutions, providing waste, water, and energy management services. Their mission is to support a sustainable future by offering innovative ways to conserve natural resources, reduce pollution, and protect the environment.

Veolia sought a trusted recruitment partner to assist with hard-to-fill, niche roles across their UK operations, particularly in scientific and technical domains.

Challenges

  • Recruitment for specialised, hard-to-fill roles.
  • The need for a recruitment partner who understands internal processes and can work collaboratively without pressure sales tactics.
  • Ensuring all communication aligns with internal procedures and preferred supplier protocols.

Solution

CK Group was added to Veolia’s permanent agency preferred supplier list and engaged as needed for specialist vacancies. The team at CK focused on:

  • Understanding the complexity of the roles.
  • Maintaining clear, respectful, and procedure-aligned communication.
  • Providing knowledgeable consultants who are approachable and friendly.

Outcome & Conclusion

CK Group consistently delivered on niche role placements, offering a service that matched Veolia’s values and expectations. Their non-intrusive, consultative approach was especially appreciated.

“When needed, CK helps us with our hard-to-fill niche roles. They communicate well, are always nice and friendly, and knowledgeable in their own areas. I personally have always found CK good to work with. When they are provided with a role to work on, they always communicate via the correct channels and follow our procedures.”
– Lucy Price, Veolia
