Flint House is a charity, primarily funded by donations from those in the police service and their families. It is with these generous donations that they help and heal over 3,500 serving and retired police officers each year, providing physical rehabilitation and mental health support.
Before working with Savant, Flint House Police Rehabilitation (FHPR) faced the challenge of replacing a long standing part-time team member within their small finance function. They decided to seek a replacement on a temporary basis to give them the flexibility to adjust their approach once they had established the exact requirements needed to fulfil the role on a more permanent basis. They had previously engaged other recruitment agencies but after meeting with Savant they gave the assignment to Savant to support them on this position.
Flint House chose to partner with Savant on this assignment because of a long-term relationship with Paul Clutton, Associate Director, developed over many years. They had previously used mainstream providers but were keen to try a different route. The Initial conversation took place with Paul who then introduced fellow colleague Alex Smith, Senior Consultant, as the point of contact for this assignment. Shortly after meeting Alex, a detailed Discovery Session took place to understand the requirements and type of candidate needed. Within a few days post the Discovery Session and Scope, Alex produced a shortlist of candidates that matched the brief perfectly. First interviews were held within a week, with a standout candidate identified, followed by a face-to-face interview where the candidate was offered the position. The main added value on this assignment was Speed to Market. The process from initial conversation to temporary resource being behind their desk was swift, maintaining continuity of service and performance levels for the Finance team at Flint House. The temporary candidate has now been offered a permanent position; both the candidate and Flint House valued the flexibility and long-term relationship with Savant, noting the personalized approach and successful outcomes achieved.
Speed to market: The entire recruitment process, from initial conversation to having the temp resource in place, was swift, ensuring continuity of service and performance levels for the Finance team at Flint House.

The value add Savant delivered was speed to market. The whole process from initial conversation to temp resource being behind their desk was very swift, which meant continuity of service and performance levels for the Finance team at Flint House was maintained.
