Niche Exec Search Engagement

Challenge

Our automotive client needed to drive further efficiencies and transform engagement with their garage network.

This renewed focus required a new operating model and a re-structure which would enable a new leader to be the single point of contact for their garage network

The role itself was very niche given the split focus between commercial and operational responsibilities

CVM People were engaged to conduct extensive market research and support the positioning of this new hire, whilst also managing the search exclusively.

Solution

CVM People delivered research and market insights around the types of transferable skills which existed in the market, and comparable roles in the automotive sector

We helped design a tailor-made assessment and interview criteria to test network management experience, subject matter knowledge and commercial acumen

We latterly supported our client interview internal and direct applicants once the results of the re-structure had been made public, to ensure a single point of assessment and fair candidate experience

Results

We successfully appointed a new Director to oversee the Garage Network for our client

We were further retained to support with a second project for our client, niche to the automotive sector, based on our success with this project.
