At crooton, we go above and beyond to find high-quality candidates for the roles our clients find hard to fill.

Using our unique location-based targeting software, we have been able to help employers pinpoint candidates with exactly the right skills and experience wherever they are in the world, including those attending industry events and trade shows, studying at particular universities or colleges, or even working for their competitors.

And this approach has led to many remarkable success stories and testimonials….

Hertfordshire Police came to us when they found that their usual recruitment methods were no longer working and their pool of candidates had dried up. They urgently needed call handlers but were struggling to attract the staff they needed for this vital role. 

But thanks to our targeted approach, we quickly generated almost 200 high-quality applications, leading to the constabulary hiring 20 new staff, with more planned in the coming months. The success of the campaign led to them instructing crooton again to fill even more essential roles.

Lifeways, the UK’s largest supported living specialist, were keen to find more support workers for adults with complex needs living in the community, and started using crooton on a trial basis. 

Thanks to the trial going so well – leading to the recruitment of five new members of staff – they have now become a long-term partner and we are working with their recruitment teams across the country to find the ideal candidates for roles that are usually difficult to find staff for.

PHS, the leading hygiene services provider in the UK, contacted crooton after struggling to find washroom drivers for locations across the country. 

We launched a 28-day recruitment campaign for them and quickly generated almost 50 applications from candidates with the desired skills and experience. This led to 40 candidates being shortlisted, 18 interviews, and a number of new staff being hired.

As well as giving us a five-star review, Elis Collins, Resourcing Manager at PHS, said: “First campaign with crooton was a success; we appointed five people from the one campaign which was great!

“Looking forward to running our next campaign.”

Her positive feedback has been echoed by many more of our clients across the country.

Annie Gault, Senior Human Resources Advisor at Caring Together, said: “As a charity within the care sector we were looking for an extra something to support us with our hires. crooton has certainly delivered that, most recently finding us a fantastic hire for a role we had no applicants for using our usual recruitment methods.

“The service provided by the team was professional, responsive and helpful. They really care about your organisational tone and culture and getting you the right person, rather than just anyone. Great value for money!

“We are excited to see what the future will bring as we work more with crooton!”

And Rowan Marriott, Head of Resourcing at Cygnet Health, said: “crooton is an essential part of our resourcing strategy, a great service from people who know what they are doing – a true partner!”

These are just a small selection of the fantastic testimonials that we receive at crooton every week.
