Case Study - Gazprom Based in London, Gazprom Marketing and Trading is a global business that provides customers with integrated energy solutions. One of the UKs fastest growing energy suppliers with growth of over 500% in the last 5 years, and ambitious plans to achieve £1billion profit by 2013, headcount growth has been rapid and challenging.

The challenge: Gazprom’s rapid growth required an increase in both permanent and contract headcount across all key technology areas. Allied to this was a requirement to ensure that hires were the best talent available, with specific sector knowledge, and an ability to operate within a very fast paced and demanding environment.

Gazprom’s internal recruitment team needed a supplier that could fully understand and source hard to find technology skills meeting the timeframes set by the business. Maximising candidate suitability, and minimising the administrative burden, allowed the internal recruitment team to focus key liaison with the technology line.

The solution: Lorien’s Financial Services team specialises in networking amongst technology professionals with sector specific experience. With a dedicated account manager to ensure full client understanding and a team focused on candidate management, Lorien is able to provide a reactive service that hits the standards required.

What the client thinks: “Lorien consistently performs to the highest of levels. They have provided a platform from which we have been able to meet the demands of an ever growing and successful business.” Alistair Milnes, Global Head of Resourcing

Testimonial – Swinton “Lorien has been a preferred supplier for the provision of permanent IT staff to Swinton Insurance for over 7 years. Throughout this time I have always been highly impressed with the level of service offered, to such an extent that Lorien's dominance of our IT recruitment has resulted in them attaining Exclusive supplier status over their competitors in the last 2 years.

The level of commitment and professionalism demonstrated by all of Lorien's staff has consistently been of a very high standard and I have always found them to be an organisation ready to go the extra mile to find the right candidate, even on the most demanding of roles. Over the years Swinton has tested Lorien's ability to supply a wide variety of IT staff and they've proven able to source skills across the complete IT spectrum time and again.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lorien to another organisation seeking a professional and responsive service from an IT recruitment supplier.

Lorien has a long-standing history of dealing with Swinton in a relationship, which was formalised upon their appointment to the PSL in 2000.”
