Growing the business

Aspire have helped Clarasys grow from a team of 8 people to a team of 70. Half of this current total are graduates, who have joined through the grad scheme that Aspire orchestrates.

Clarasys are passionate about investing in people, to make sure the candidates that join grow into effective consultants over time, so the graduate scheme is extremely important to them. Clarasys have seen successful results with over 40 graduates joining the business over the last 5 years.

Recruiting Graduate Talent

"The range of media that Aspire have access to and the way Aspire uses that, really helps Clarasys establish a strong presence in the graduate market."

Matt Cheung CEO (and co-founder) of Clarasys

​

The relationship between Clarasys and Aspire started five years ago when Aspire ran a graduate recruitment course. In the first year, Clarasys hired 2 grads, but (as with any new venture) they were unsure whether this recruitment model would work for the business. However, five years (and 7 grad courses) later, Clarasys have seen impressive results. This year they've recruited 8 graduates using Aspire and over the next couple of years, Clarasys could see that grow to 16 a year as the firm gets bigger.

The successes of the candidates placed by Aspire is evident. This year one of the first grads that Aspire helped to place celebrates their 5 year anniversary with the company. She is now leading a team with one of their big clients.

Hosted Interview Days

"Having Aspire available to cater for special access needs, means that we are able to open up the scheme to as many people as possible."

Matt Cheung, CEO

​

Previously Aspire hosted group interviews at their office, whereby clients could easily and efficiently select candidates they want to progress with, by seeing a small group of candidates performing tasks at the same time.

Hosted interviews helped Clarasys because they didn't have to hire space for interviews. It minimised the internal resources Clarasys would have had to of used if they carried out interviews themselves. Likewise, it allowed them to process a group of people in a short period of time, instead of having to make decisions on a one to one interview basis.

"You don’t continue to work with someone for 5 years if you’re not happy. We are happy with the quality of people that we see. We are happy with the quality of people that we recruit.”

"We’ve recommended Aspire a couple of times, Aspire are doing a campaign for one of Clarasys’ clients at the moment and one of Clarasys’ partners. We’d recommend using Aspire for graduate recruitment."
