Sue Lewis, HR Consultant in the Education Sector

“I’ve been working with Blue Octopus – at various organisations – for over 10 years.

“Initially, I chose to work with them because they were unique in the scope of their offering. Now, I choose them because I know they deliver results.”

Focus on Service

“Blue Octopus has a strong focus on customer service. I always consider them a partner rather than a supplier. Whether I want to chat about a Campaign or ask their advice, I know I can simply pick up the phone. We have a built up great relationship, based on their understanding of our recruitment needs and their flexibility in providing solutions.

“Whenever I’m asked, I recommend Blue Octopus. Relying on agencies, press advertising and other traditional methods is costly and time consuming. Driving down recruitment costs while improving success rates is key.”

A One-Stop Solution

“Blue Octopus has supported improvement and effectiveness with the introduction of Managed Campaigns. Operating as an extension of the HR service, they have played a big part in reducing costs while also improving quality-of-hire.

“They also give an invaluable service in supporting applicants through the recruitment process – which assists in smooth shortlisting and selection.

“With the addition of Octo Platinum, there is the ability to centralise, modernise, integrate recruitment within current HR system process and increase effectiveness of recruitment processes. Hiring managers can take more responsibility for recruitment. The HR team spend less time doing admin and more time adding value.

Blue Octopus has provided a reliable, trustworthy one-stop solution.”
