Customer Profile

Arco is the UK’s only integrated services and safety products business, acting as a trusted partner for organisations working in complex, high-risk environments. As part of a large-scale transformation programme, Arco required senior-level talent to strengthen leadership and drive cultural change across the organisation.

Challenge

Securing senior resource proved difficult in a competitive market. Key roles such as Procurement, Finance, and HR leadership had already been circulated internally and via other agencies with no success. Salary expectations and location constraints further complicated the process, creating a risk of project delays.

Solution

MostonRECRUIT worked closely with Arco’s leadership team to understand immediate and long-term requirements. Leveraging our 200,000+ candidate database, sector-specific hotlists, and extensive market network, we built a longlist within 72 hours. Candidates were interviewed internally the same day (including evenings where required) to ensure suitability, cultural alignment, and readiness.

• Consulted on market salary benchmarks to adjust packages for competitiveness.

• Recommended and implemented hybrid working options to expand the talent pool.

• Supported both interim and permanent solutions, ensuring flexibility for the client.

Outcome

Within weeks, we successfully placed multiple senior hires across finance, HR, procurement, and communications, several of which transitioned from interim to permanent roles. Our ability to respond rapidly, consult on challenges, and present high-calibre candidates ensured Arco could continue its transformation without disruption.
