Leeds’ iSource secures contract to support new National Grid recruitment programme

iSource Group, the Leeds-based recruitment firm, has secured a contract to support a six-month, multi-vacancy project for electricity and gas infrastructure company National Grid.

iSource Group specialises in procurement and supply chain, IT and digital appointments.

In support of the proposed sale of the National Grid Gas Distribution business, iSource Group will manage the selection, interview and recommendation of over 25 junior and senior procurement specialists throughout the West Midlands.

iSource Group has appointed to the project due to its vast experience in the procurement and supply chain recruitment sector.

Building on its portfolio of national blue chip clients, iSource Group will work closely with National Grid to manage the recruitment programme into procurement positions to support the creation of a new independent company, which is scheduled to launch in October.

Fraser Smith, head of procurement and supply chain at iSource Group, said: “Working alongside a number of blue chip clients means that we have the experience required to find the right candidates for the roles.

“Recruitment is no longer about numbers, it is about culture, personality, ability and above all ambition. We work closely with our clients to make sure that our recommendations are right.

“We are looking forward to delivering on this project and to being a key supplier as National Grid look to develop and diversify their business model.”

The contract will run for an initial six months with the possibility of this extending to a longer-term contract as the new company becomes more established within the marketplace.
