Filling an urgent Product Manager gap for Simply Business

Simply Business is a leading business insurance broker that works with top underwriters to provide relevant business insurance for thousands of SMEs across the UK. It was voted number one on the Sunday Times Top Places to Work list in both 2015 and 2016.

The challenge was to find a talented Product Manager able to slot seamlessly into a project already underway. The role had been open for over two weeks before Consortia got started, and the client needed someone who could join the existing team and adapt quickly.

Consortia was chosen as preferred supplier due to its proven experience in product management, which enabled the team to really get under the skin of the candidates put forward.

Personal fit was as important as technical ability, so Consortia was thorough in understanding what made the business tick and who would fit the team well.

Within a 48-hour turnaround, Consortia's specialist Product recruiters helped the client set up two interviews, and the sourced contractor began working just one week from the brief being taken.

Using Consortia took all the pain out of finding a Product Manager. From the first call they understood our needs and offered a variety of high-quality candidates. We'll certainly be using them again.
