How we deliver
Partnership:
Our success is based on the long term
relationships that we establish with both
our clients and our candidates. We listen
and learn about your needs and then
provide solutions specific to you.
The majority of our clients work with
us on a sole supplier basis and we add
value by truly understanding their Brand,
Business, Programmes, Culture and
specific requirements.
Transparency:
Our preference is to work on a
transparent basis with both our clients
and our candidates. We prefer working
in open and honest environments.
Transparency on process, transparency on
rates or fees and transparency in two way
feedback, are all key success factors that
enable us to deliver.
Quality:
As we specialise in nothing else, we truly
understand Change Management. Not
only will we understand your Programmes
and requirements but our candidate
screening levels are unparalleled. We
know our candidates personally having
worked with them for many years and
they trust us not to waste their time with
unsuitable roles. We will in turn not
waste your time by delivering unsuitable
candidates.
We are not generalists! We are
specialists and experts in our niche.

6. “Portland are unique in breaking the ‘salesman’
model that plagues today’s recruiters. Instead,
we find in Portland Resourcing a genuine
business ‘partner’ who listens.
With a maturing Change Management division,
their discrete style of operation, reluctance to
venture ‘mass market’ and trusted candidate
relationships makes them a recruiter of choice.
Having worked with Portland Resourcing over
several key accounts in a recruitment and
candidate capacity, I continue to come back for
more of the same and wish them well as their
Change Management team flourish through
2014 and beyond...”

“I have had the pleasure of overseeing the work
of Portland’s Change Management Resource on
transformational programs designed around
the deployment of SAP. At Federal Mogul their
resource joined the SAP initiative called Program
Everest as the Global Change Manager.
The challenge in this company was a high level
executive desire to achieve cost savings and
synergies through the technology change but
the classic hurdles and resistance of operational
units and geographies to have any change in
their paradigm.
I am a big fan of Portland Resourcing’s work
and have appreciated the high quality output of
the Change Management resource they placed,
especially in periods of great organization and
company change.”
CIO Federal Mogul Corporation
“Newell Rubbermaid engaged Portland
Resourcing at the beginning of our Greenfield
EMEA SAP Template Program with the
requirement to resource a whole Change
Management team for the region.
Portland placed a team of qualified Change
Management Leads that helped us enable the
successful implementation of the EMEA SAP
Template in 26 Countries.
Portland’s external team built a great rapport
with the Process Streams and their knowledge
transfer to the business has enabled smooth
hyper care. I recommend Portland Resourcing to
anyone embarking on large scale SAP Template
Programs.”
Global Organization Development Lead -
Newell Rubbermaid Inc.
“Reckitt Benckiser were embarking on a 5 to
7 year Global SAP Template Programme. One
of the early deployments of SAP was to a large
manufacturing site in Thailand and we required
Thai speaking Change Management resource
in order to engage the business and key
stakeholders. Portland were able to successfully
place a Thai national who had heavyweight
Change Management experience, experience of
managing change in the manufacturing industry
and importantly, experience of managing
change related to Global SAP Template
implementations.
I can highly recommend them as the agency of
choice for global Change Management resource
requirements.”
