Case Study: Unite Students hires 100+ housekeeping staff across 21 UK cities with Webrecruit

How Webrecruit worked with the leading student accommodation provider to attract, manage and hire over 100 housekeeping staff based in 21 cities throughout the UK

Unite Students, a leading student accommodation provider, needed to recruit and onboard over 100 housekeeping staff across 21 UK cities by a strict, common start date. Their challenge involved sourcing and screening a high volume of candidates during a traditionally quiet advertising period while maintaining control of the process. They partnered with Webrecruit for its volume recruitment services to manage this project.

Webrecruit created a dedicated project team to handle candidate attraction, CV screening, and telephone interviews. This solution delivered shortlisted, qualified candidates directly into Unite Students' interview schedule. The Webrecruit team filtered over 6,000 applications and successfully placed 99 out of the 102 required staff, ensuring 100% of the new hires were ready to start on time, equipping all 21 cities with the necessary personnel.
