Case Study: Combining Specialist IT Recruitment and The Education Sector

How Clicks Combined Expertise in IT and the Education Sector to Help a University Deliver High Profile Project

Background and Challenge

One of Australia’s leading universities had an initiative to provide a publicly accessible information gateway to research expertise and researchers’ profiles, including their specific interests. The web solution receives an average of 5 million page views each year and provides a valuable opportunity to communicate publicly about the university’s researchers. The platform also provides researchers, industry, students, and the media access to the right information and the right researchers. This enhances the university’s reputation and provides more opportunities for collaboration and engagement, leading to greater research impact.

Clicks’ Solution

Clicks has a long history of providing recruitment services to the Education sector. This includes five of Australia’s top ten universities as regular clients and other higher education providers and secondary schools. We have a comprehensive understanding of university culture, the overall Education sector, and its associated challenges. This enables our Consultants to identify the relevant skills, experience, and personal attributes to ensure we place best-fit candidates.

Outcome and Benefits

By assisting the client to identify and secure these four key roles, Clicks helped the university to:

  • Deliver the new web portal within target timeframes
  • Successfully embed the new function within the business
  • Enhance their reputation as leading research experts
  • Embark on the second phase of the project as planned
