<h3 class="mb-4">Bowers &amp; Wilkins is a global leader in audio, specialising in premium consumer products while consistently setting the benchmark for high performance Hi-Fi, home cinema and personal sound.</h3>
<p>From its cottage industry beginnings over 50 years ago, the business has expanded its product range from traditional loudspeakers to award-winning headphones and wireless systems. The Bowers &amp; Wilkins team is excited about its vision for the future &ndash; one where watching and listening to content at home should be elegant and robust. Smart and sexy. Simple and fun.</p>
<p>Bowers &amp; Wilkins' valued partnerships with automotive manufacturers BMW, McLaren, and Volvo has also allowed it to push the sonic boundaries of premium in-car audio systems.</p>

Bowers & Wilkins

<p class="p1">We have worked with G&amp;H for several years now, they are usually our first point of call for all manufacturing and engineering vacancies.&nbsp;&nbsp;I would commend all of the staff for their professional approach, they have a great team, securing multiple recruits for very specialist roles across the organisation.</p>

<h5 class="mb-4">A shared appreciation of quality</h5>
<p>Gerrell &amp; Hard's partnership with this globally respected brand is based on a shared appreciation of quality. Founded in 1966, Bowers &amp; Wilkins produces some of the world's finest audio speakers and is renowned as a global leader in sound.</p>
<p>A byword for quality, Bowers &amp; Wilkins products are beloved by discerning audiophiles everywhere, from sound engineers at the legendary Abbey Road studios to a stable of prestige car manufacturers who want a premium audio experience to match their passenger vehicles.</p>
<p>Gerrell &amp; Hard has enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship with Bowers &amp; Wilkins since 2013, beginning with successful placements in its manufacturing facility at Worthing, leading on to supporting the team with some challenging R&amp;D roles at Steyning.</p>
<h5 class="mt-5 mb-4">A culture of excellence</h5>
<p>The Bowers &amp; Wilkins team are passionate audiophiles who love their product and are highly creative as well as technically proficient. David Watts leads our relationship with the brand as a confirmed fan and cheerleader for its products and has a nuanced insight into the company's culture and blend of quality and creativity.</p>
<p>As a precision manufacturer and innovator, Bowers &amp; Wilkins has a hiring culture the team at G&amp;H understands well. The business needs highly skilled people with the talent and passion to make a difference to an established organisation, whilst loving the brand and respecting its heritage.</p>

<h5 class="mb-4">Outcomes</h5>
<p>The nature and level of skills required by Bowers &amp; Wilkins means most of its vacancies are challenging and niche, and our creative approach to finding the right people &ndash; not to mention the tenacity we bring to each role &ndash; means we often adopt a search approach to our assignments, but for contingency fees.</p>
<p>Our success working with the brand has led to a close and mutually beneficial relationship between us and we have managed to supply many engineers who share their passion for high quality audio.</p>
<p>Our relationship with Bowers &amp; Wilkins is highly collaborative and based on a deep trust that has evolved over time. It is a premium brand and one for whom we work hard to deliver an appropriate service. Our appreciation of the brand's product and respect for its culture makes our professional relationship one that we find extremely rewarding.</p>

<h3 class="mb-4">Early in our relationship with this precision engineering firm, Gerrell &amp; Hard completed assignments for hard-to-fill vacancies where headhunters had previously failed. We've enjoyed a great relationship with them ever since.</h3>
<p>Southampton-based Bowman Power Group was founded in 2004 by Tony Davies, to develop new technology for improving the energy efficiency of reciprocating engines. Bowman's products are complex and require precision engineering so the demands of recruiting for the business are both technical and exacting and it is our understanding of the business that enables us to complete our assignments.</p>
<p>In March 2014 Gerrell &amp; Hard was added to the Preferred Supplier List of Bowman Power after a successful meeting with the incumbent Operations Director.</p>

Bowman eTurbo Systems

<p class="p1">Having now worked with G&amp;H for several years, and experienced other recruitment companies as well, I would commend them strongly for their calm, sophisticated and successful approach to meeting our recruitment needs.</p>

<h5 class="mb-4">Early success</h5>
<p>Shortly after, we successfully hired a Principal Mechanical Engineer, a challenging role they had been struggling to fill for some time. Our candidate went on to win the UK Women's Business Award in 2015. We were also approached by Bowman to replace a Principal Electronics Engineer (placed by one of our own team twenty years ago!) who was retiring. Bowman needed a professional engineer with a Power and Electronics background. A headhunter had tried, unsuccessfully, to fill the role. Gerrell &amp; Hard identified a candidate based in the Midlands and who was willing to relocate to the South Coast.</p>

<h5 class="mb-4">Outcomes</h5>
<p>Having solved two big recruitment challenges for Bowman Power at an early stage in our ongoing work with them, Gerrell &amp; Hard has now been entrusted with a number of vacancies. We have a fantastic relationship with the hiring team and have placed more than twenty engineers in permanent and contract positions for them since 2014.</p>

<h3 class="mb-4">By providing a consultative approach to a client with exacting demands, Gerrell &amp; Hard has become a sole supplier to a business that did not previously work with recruiters.</h3>
<p>ICS, an independent systems integrator, has been providing advanced robotic welding and automation solutions throughout the UK and Ireland since 1989. The company offers turnkey robotic welding and handling solutions to a broad range of industries including automotive, yellow goods, medical and general manufacturing. The business has a family feel and employees love working for the firm - once in, they rarely leave!</p>

ICS Robotics and Automation

<h5 class="mb-4">Geographical challenges</h5>
<p>Nonetheless the firm does have one major recruiting challenge that will be familiar to many South Coast-based firms seeking complex technical expertise from new hires: its available talent pool extends to the west, east and north but not to the south. Furthermore, the business needs to hire highly specialist experts with a deep understanding of industries such as automotive manufacturing - whose UK hub is the Midlands.</p>
<p>Gerrell &amp; Hard became a supplier to ICS when our identification of a high-performing candidate led to a mutually rewarding and open conversation between Principal Consultant Dave Watts and the ICS senior team. This laid the foundations for a close professional relationship and our appointment as sole supplier.</p>
<p>The first assignment Gerrell &amp; Hard was invited to work on was for a Service Engineering role which took several months to complete. The team at ICS are well-trained in their field and have a very good idea of what they are looking for. Their very specific requirements and our focus on quality over quantity means we can provide the kind of support they require from a sole recruitment partner.</p>

<h5 class="mb-4">Outcomes</h5>
<p>Our work with ICS is fun, challenging and successful because of the very close partnership we have developed with them. Their roles are complex and highly specific and further complicated by the distance from their key client base, so we have developed a very consultative and mutually supportive approach to hiring that has enabled the team there to come up with flexible approaches to working that allows them to extend their pool of available talent. Gerrell &amp; Hard enjoys a superb collaborative relationship with the senior team at ICS, and we hope to fulfil many more assignments.</p>

<h3 class="mb-4">Gerrell &amp; Hard's detailed understanding of our client's unique culture and complex requirements enables us to rapidly deploy on assignments and quickly fill challenging vacancies.</h3>
<p>MR SOLUTIONS is a world leader in MRI technology and a developer and manufacturer of the world's first range of commercial, superconducting, cryogen-free (dry magnet), benchtop MRI systems.</p>
<p>Like many of our clients, their requirements are very specific; candidates must possess a high degree of technical expertise and are often needed for short-term contracts. The Gerrell &amp; Hard team built our relationship with MR Solutions by visiting them regularly to refine our understanding of their needs and their technical environment.</p>

MR Solutions

<p class="p1">We have worked alongside Gerrell &amp; Hard for over 5 years now and find their approach to our recruitment requests to be professional and attentive, specifically David Watts who has been our recruitment consultant from the start. He has taken the time to really get to know us as a company and find out what it is we need to fulfil our roles.</p>

<h5 class="mb-4">Enviable culture and coverage</h5>
<p>MR Solutions has an exemplary footprint in its market, with 100% market coverage through direct sales or distributors and over 2,500 systems installed at customer sites across the world. Headquartered in Guildford, MR SOLUTIONS has offices in Boston USA, and Melbourne, Australia.</p>
<p>As an employer, the business adopts an enjoyable, open-minded workplace whilst encouraging a dedicated team that focuses on product innovation and excellence in customer service.</p>

<h5 class="mb-4">Outcomes</h5>
<p>We have been able to fill more than ten roles in the last few years, gaining a deep insight into the company culture&mdash;which is particularly entrepreneurial and hands-on&mdash;and thanks to MRS's generous sharing of their culture, we have consistently been able to identify the right kind of candidate for the business.</p>

<h3 class="mb-4">Gerrell &amp; Hard worked with leading EV innovator Polestar to rapidly implement a remote assessment centre in response to the pandemic.</h3>
<p>Innovative EV start-up Polestar is renowned for its uncompromising dedication to progressiveness, performance and excellence. Its UK business launched in May 2019 to design and develop future Polestar vehicles, with a team that exemplifies the modern technological workplace, offering complementary niche skills and experience from a broad variety of engineering backgrounds.</p>

Polestar

<p>Having worked with the G&amp;H team for many years now I have benefited from their experience and commitment to our recruitment process time and time again and this most recent experience with them was no different. Taking on the challenge that the pandemic forced upon us and still managing to deliver 100% attendance with an incredibly high calibre of candidates is no small feat.</p>

<h5 class="mb-4">A strong start</h5>
<p>After running a successful three-day assessment centre for the brand in 2019, Gerrell &amp; Hard was asked by Polestar management to run a similar event in 2020. As a lean, agile manufacturer Polestar seeks candidates with talent, skill and an adaptable approach that is a corrective to the traditional "big OEM" mentality. New starters need to work well together, assimilate into the business quickly and demonstrate potential, flexibility and eagerness to learn, making an assessment centre the perfect hiring tool.</p>
<p>With a planned assessment day already booked in, our candidate identification and shortlisting process began with an advertising campaign, with each CV seen by several Polestar managers. Shortlisted candidates took psychological profiling tests and were asked to make a video about sustainability. The assessment centre was to be the final, definitive test to determine how candidates would work together as a group.</p>
<h5 class="mb-4 mt-5">A rapid pivot</h5>
<p>We had already qualified and sustained the interest of a large pool of candidates when the pandemic required us to radically change our plans. With just over two weeks until the assessment date and candidates already invited, we transformed it to a virtual event while preserving the conditions and methodology required.</p>
<p>We created and sent to candidates an assessment kit consisting of various problem-solving challenges they would need to work with others to solve, since no one candidate would receive every component of the puzzle. Each candidate underwent half a day of remote technical group activities, along with one-to-one interviews and tasks with other engineers. Management of the assessment sessions was complex, involving group activities and breakout rooms for interviews with multiple staff.</p>

<h5 style="margin-bottom: 1rem;">Outcomes</h5>
<p>From a large initial candidate pool, all shortlisted individuals attended the assessment centre, with zero "no-shows"; a credit to the commitment and candidate nurturing from our combined project team throughout the hiring cycle.</p>
<p>Polestar's virtual assessment centre received positive feedback from candidates and led to a large intake of outstanding individuals. The success of the event was in no small part due to Polestar's exceptional commitment: its entire team took a week of their time to be involved &ndash; a superb onboarding experience for a whole generation of new employees.</p>

<h3 class="mb-4">Gerrell &amp; Hard provided an Executive Search methodology, but for recruitment fees and structures, for this renowned and growing brand.</h3>
<p>RML is one of the leading high performance engineering companies in the world. Its background lies in delivering Touring Car, Sports Prototype and Rallying programmes in major motorsport series for global automotive brands winning multiple World Championships for its partners. RML now applies this nimble and winning mind-set to developing high performance road car derivatives and advance automotive technology for OEMs.</p>
<p>As renowned and exciting as RML unquestionably is, it is also a burgeoning brand and is definitely one to watch.</p>

RML Motorsport

<p class="p1">Although we don&rsquo;t have a PSL, Gerrell &amp; Hard are usually our first port of call, particularly when recruiting at either a senior level or for a specialist role. They stand out from many other recruitment consultants as they have taken the time to understand how we work, and qualify the requirements of the role each time.&nbsp; Consequently, we can guarantee they will present quality candidates to us, who not only meet our technical specification, but will be a cultural fit which is particularly important to us.</p>

<h5 class="mb-4">Candidates become clients</h5>
<p>Gerrell &amp; Hard's work with RML Group came about because an individual who joined the HR team there had been interviewed by us in the past (as a candidate) and liked their professional approach.</p>
<p>In December 2013, after being promoted to HRD at RML, she approached us to help her recruit an operational role. Within six months RML followed up with a further two director-level operational and commercial requirements requiring an Executive Search methodology (but for contingency recruitment fees and structure). The Gerrell &amp; Hard team filled the roles within four months.</p>
<h5 class="mb-4 mt-5">A strong relationship</h5>
<p>The Gerrell &amp; Hard team has built a strong relationship with RML over a period of several years. From the outset we sought to gain a strong understanding of their culture, meeting them onsite to view their operation and gain the best possible brief for their first requirement.</p>
<p>Our deep understanding of their culture, combined with our detailed knowledge of our candidates, means we are able to match candidates to RML's specific requirements very accurately. In RML's case &ndash; and to their credit &ndash; this has resulted in long tenure for roles that would be high-churn positions in some companies.</p>

<h5 class="mb-4">Outcomes</h5>
<p>Since our first placement, Gerrell &amp; Hard has consistently delivered to RML by working to a tight and well-interrogated brief, and has built a relationship based on mutual trust and respect. In addition to contingency recruitment we also provide benchmarking and value-adding industry expertise.</p>
<p>We have developed a true partnership with RML and are proud to have this renowned, ever-growing brand as a client.</p>

<h3 class="mb-4">Gerrell &amp; Hard's long-term partnership with this global sonar firm has been built upon our ability to consistently find highly specialist candidates.</h3>
<p>Based in Yateley, Sonardyne is a privately-owned, leading global provider of underwater acoustic, inertial, optical and sonar technology. The company employs approximately 300 people.</p>
<p>Gerrell &amp; Hard's working relationship with Sonardyne began when Principal Consultant David Watts filled two firmware engineer roles which had been open for some time despite other recruiters' best efforts. Our success filling these vacancies led to many more roles in a short period of time.</p>

Sonardyne

<p>Having worked with Gerrell &amp; Hard, and most especially David Watts, over many years, I can say without hesitation that anyone engaging their services will receive a friendly, informed, effective and highly professional experience. Everyone wins with the Gerrell &amp; Hard approach.</p>

<h5 class="mb-4">Insight is everything</h5>
<p>Our ongoing success with Sonardyne stems from our deep insight into the key pillars of the business that make it unique: its culture, products, markets and people. In addition to this, our broad engineering and technical skills coverage means we can fulfil talent searches for a variety of roles across the business.</p>
<p>Sonardyne is a brand with a compelling story. Its unique culture and approach to innovation has seen the company develop from a two-man start-up to a multiple award-winning enterprise whose brand is synonymous with innovation. Gerrell &amp; Hard&rsquo;s insight into the company and its story allows us to reflect and communicate its culture to our candidates, and to select individuals who are a good match for the business.</p>
<p>Our consultative, professional approach sits well with Sonardyne and we have been pleased to earn their trust and become a valued supplier.&nbsp;</p>

<h5 class="mb-4">Outcomes</h5>
<p>Our task with Sonardyne has often been "difficult-to-source expertise," in domains from software design, project and programme management to contract law, health and safety, electronic design, materials specialisms, procurement and more. Whatever the brief, the number and quality of candidates presented by Gerrell &amp; Hard has been described by Sonardyne as "astonishing and exceptional". Our candidates have been successful within the company and are still there many years after joining; one technical specialist who joined many years ago is now a main Board Director leading technical development.</p>

<h3 class="mb-4">Our partnership with Volta Trucks helped the innovative EV brand scale up rapidly but sustainably, and exemplifies successful collaboration.</h3>
<p>Founded in 2019, Volta Trucks is at the forefront of a revolution in freight transport. Founded on the three pillars of safety, sustainability and electrification, Volta Trucks has ripped up the rulebook to design a new kind of vehicle: one far safer and more environmentally friendly than traditional commercial vehicles. The brand is also reimagining the business model for electric truck fleets through its innovative, hassle-free Truck as a Service (TaaS) solution.</p>
<p>&nbsp;When Volta Trucks first approached Gerrell &amp; Hard the company was in its nascent stage: a startup with a concept truck, a small team of founders and fewer than ten employees. From the outset the founders&rsquo; vision was clear&mdash;they wanted a recruiter that could help them accelerate growth, and navigate the pitfalls associated with it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Volta Trucks

<p>Gerrell &amp; Hard were an integral part of Volta Trucks&rsquo; growth and were a true trusted partner for our Engineering &amp; R&amp;D recruitment with very strong sector expertise and an ability to build close relationships with hiring managers. They could be trusted to provide high quality candidates at pace, whilst also delivering an excellent candidate experience.</p>

<h5 class="mb-4">Building the foundations</h5>
<p>Our work with the Volta Trucks team was consultative from the start, and included benchmarking salaries and benefits packages to ensure the brand was well-positioned to attract and retain talent. As a trusted partner we assisted with top-line recruiting, HR support, defining organisational structure and even scouting a suitable location for brand headquarters.</p>
<p>After helping the senior team to set up a foundational structure, our focus shifted to expansion, so we recruited business leaders and supported them in turn to build their own teams. This phase of our collaboration marked the beginning of Volta Trucks&rsquo; rapid scale-up, where, in addition to engineering roles, we hired for diverse functions including marketing, purchasing, procurement, sales, business development and administration.</p>
<h5 class="mb-4 mt-5">A fully integrated supplier</h5>
<p>The success of our partnership with Volta Trucks was thanks in no small part to the trust the company placed in us and the level of access and freedom we enjoyed. We were fully embedded as its hiring team and integrated with its Applicant Tracking System. We worked closely with the leadership team and had direct contact with every independent hiring manager across the organisation to ensure continuity of feedback at all times. Our partnership also extended beyond hiring; with full visibility of operations from strategy to execution, we played a significant role in influencing business decisions.</p>

<h5 class="mb-4">Outcomes</h5>
<p>Between August 2020 and July 2023 Gerrell &amp; Hard placed 317 permanent employees and engaged 15 contractors at Volta Trucks. We made these hires against the backdrop of an historically-significant level of economic uncertainty defined by skills shortages and the challenges of the COVID era. Today, Volta Trucks boasts a team of over 900; an extraordinary pace of scale, especially within such a technically challenging market.</p>
<p>The Volta Trucks team&rsquo;s agility, responsiveness and trust in Gerrell &amp; Hard allowed it to accelerate growth&mdash;sustainably&mdash;at many times the pace typically experienced by new technology companies. Our collaboration with the brand is a model for the journey from business infancy to operational maturity, and the level of collaboration that made it possible.</p>
<p><strong>We're hugely proud of this partnership, which is a testament to what can be achieved when vision, trust, and expertise align.</strong></p>
