<p><em>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re never complacent &ndash; that&rsquo;s why placement quality is one of our key performance indicators. Placement quality is a measure of work orders that continue beyond 30 days without replacement. This KPI is important because it takes time and money to train candidates. By analyzing this data, we can monitor the number of candidates making it through training to the call center floor, and the associated cost.&rdquo;</em></p>

<p>&ldquo;Guidant picked up our recruitment with only two months&rsquo; notice and rapidly built a customer focused onsite team to manage the recruitment activities. The challenge involved setting up and embedding a new operating model across a large area at a time of high volume and specialist resourcing needs. Against an initial forecast of 400 vacancies in the first 12-month period, Guidant filled 500 roles within the first 9 months of the contract, including many short notice, high volume recruitment campaigns. &nbsp;</p>

<h1>#ABetterWay for supplier relations</h1><p>MSPs often neglect suppliers. At Guidant Global, we do things differently. We partner. We collaborate. We nurture.</p>

<h1>Award winning SRM&nbsp;</h1><p>Our supplier and strategic partner relationships have helped us win APSCo’s coveted RPO/MSP of the Year Award four times – and three awards in consecutive years — the only RPO/MSP to ever achieve this!</p><p>We’re well-versed in assuming control of existing supply chains and preferred supplier lists, giving them the opportunity to supply within a Guidant MSP program. We then install governance that allows us to review performance so we can refine the supply chain to include only the very best suppliers.</p><p><br></p><h2>Using our INfluence. Driving inclusion through supplier diversity</h2><p>Our INfluence Supplier Diversity Program has a vital role to play in nurturing more minority suppliers into our supply chain. Working in a two-year partnership, Guidant Global provides selected diverse suppliers with multiple tools to help them achieve greater success and the platform to build mutually beneficial relationships with our clients to help inform and support their ED&amp;I goals.</p><p><br></p><h2>Suppliers driving candidate diversity</h2><p>We work with pre-selected suppliers to create a set of diversity metrics which both Guidant and the supplier commit to. For example – if the client is focusing on driving female representation in an area of their workforce, our suppliers agree that 3 out of 5 candidates submitted will be women.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><h2>Aligning suppliers to Impellam’s ED&amp;I UNITY program</h2><p>At Impellam we have UNITY – our internal ED&amp;I program. UNITY brings our people together to build communities, find allies across our regions, to raise awareness and champion change. Our BRG’s (business resource groups) align to each protected characteristic (and more, such as veterans). We align strategically suitable suppliers to each BRG area, based on the accreditations they hold and initiatives the supplier promotes.&nbsp;</p><p>This is designed to both extend the reach of our BRG’s but to also help clients find capable suppliers who can help drive specific areas of diverse talent into their workforces.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><h2>Supporting growth</h2><p>Our Ascend program is designed to identify a small number of suppliers each year and forge a deeper partnership, resulting in growth and brand amplification for both Guidant and the supplier. We achieve this through access to a host of Guidant resources, alignment of shared values, shared intelligence and collaboration across our teams, especially with Sales.</p>
