Board and CEO Advisor

The Challenge
Having visited Atlas and met a number of Board members in person, it quickly became apparent that the Atlas internal resourcing team required some immediate support to recruit to a large number of specialist eLearning vacancies. They had to deliver some learning projects to global clients on very tight timescales. tlas urgently required a good mix of Instructional Designers and Developers to be onboarded within a couple of weeks.

The Process and Outcome
Jill's experience enabled her to structure the process by securing a very experienced Learning Technology Project Manager who flew up to Aberdeen within two days and commenced straight away. Jill knew this talented person would be able to manage the new contractors and had a reputation for keeping clients happy and engaged. A fast track process was introduced and full screening and initial interviews were conducted and final interview along with a skills test and technical knowledge was undertaken by the Project Manager and members of Atlas's internal management team.

Roebuck Global Resourcing also provided some excellent insight into the general eLearning/learning tech industry which was used in senior management briefings. Once again, working in true partnership we were able to recruit and onboard the PM, seven experienced Instructional Designers and five Developers to work on the learning modules.

The Outcome

Atlas excelled in delivering their successful tenders with more creativity and innovation than before and successfully won a great deal more increasing their revenue and profit by a substantial amount. They were able to raise their profile outside of the oil and gas sector, which they had largely been their only market. Atlas is now part of the Mintra Group and Roebuck Global Resourcing maintain an ongoing relationship with the Group.
