Case Study: Russell Group University achieves 100% fulfilment and faster hiring with Blue Arrow managed service recruitment

Russell Group University reduces time-to-hire by 24% with Blue Arrow

Blue Arrow was engaged by a Russell Group university to address challenges with its fragmented educational staffing services. The university needed to improve the consistency, compliance, and efficiency of its high volume of agency staff, which was creating inconsistent spend patterns and time-consuming invoice management.

The solution implemented by Blue Arrow, alongside its sister brand Tate, was a Managed Service Provider (MSP) model. This rationalized the supply chain, provided a uniform pay matrix, and consolidated invoice management. As a result, Blue Arrow achieved 100% fulfilment of roles, a 24% reduction in time-to-hire, and a 178% increase in roles filled in the second year, providing significant cost savings and improved visibility for the university.
