Challenge
Since 2022, CXC has been providing Medtronic with contingent contractor management services, including onboarding and payroll. Medtronic faced significant challenges in finding suitable contractors due to the lack of a UK-aligned recruitment provider, which impacted their ability to source talent effectively. They struggled particularly with filling niche roles such as VFX directors, mobile testers, and software engineers, requiring specialised sourcing due to the unique market demands and technical skills needed. Given our established relationship and expertise, Medtronic approached us for assistance in addressing these recruitment challenges and streamlining their process to find the right candidates
Our solution
To address Medtronic’s needs, CXC offered our direct sourcing services with a dedicated specialist to work closely with hiring managers for a top-tier recruitment experience. After an initial intake call, we conducted market research to establish competitive pay rates, helping Medtronic attract the right talent. Our proven recruitment process included advertising on multiple job boards, screening candidates, and managing interviews according to the hiring manager’s preferences.
Our sourcing team handled all recruitment activities and engaged contractors promptly upon verbal acceptance. A dedicated client services manager oversaw the complete onboarding process, ensuring candidates were well-supported throughout their assignments using CXC’s comprehensive workforce management model, involving:
- Engagement and payment of contractors.
- Timesheet and expenses management.
- Invoice processing.
- Accountability for payroll compliance.
- Contractor care during the worker’s assignment.
- Payroll onboarding and offboarding.
- Early terminations and performance management.
- A close partnership, ensuring we had a close relationship with hiring managers and key decision makers.
Results
The CXC talent sourcing team collaborated closely with Medtronic, conducting thorough intake calls to fully understand role requirements and company culture. We established clear expectations and timelines for the recruitment process, including CV submissions, interview stages, and start dates.
Leveraging our advanced systems and tools, we quickly identified and presented suitable candidates with various technical skills. We delivered multiple CVs within three days, arranged interviews within 24 hours, and onboarded successful candidates within two weeks of the initial interview.
