OVERVIEW

They operate in the UK, Europe, India and South Africa and across 3 divisions: Capita Public, Service, Capita Experience, Capita Portfolio.

CONTEXT

When Capita Group elected to divest its Asset Services Business, Stanton House Managed Solutions was appointed to deliver several workstreams within the Separation Programme.

The assignment involved deploying a full project team with only two weeks’ notice. The team had to
deliver the effective separation of the 3,000 FTE Asset Services Business (5 business units, across 30 locations) from Capita within a tight four-month timescale.

SOLUTION

Through our deep relationships with subject matter experts, we were able to quickly find and engage high-caliber professionals with separation expertise.

We quickly and effectively deployed a team of two Programme Managers, a Project Planner, a PMO Manager, an HR Project Manager and a Business
Analyst to deliver the separation.

OUTCOME

Our team successfully delivered the separation on time. What’s more, the Programme Director was so impressed, that they commissioned a further
Statement of Work with us, with the same team, to assist with the international integration with the acquiring business.

This included the migration of systems and data across HR, Finance, Risk and IT and was successfully delivered over the subsequent eight months.


“Stanton House Managed Solutions quickly deployed a team of two Programme Managers, Project Planner, PMO Manager, HR Project Manager and

From my initial encounter, I have had an induction interview and a first interview all within a week. To add I have also been presented with other opportunities all in a small amount of time. Everyone comes across professional, gives good and open feedback, which has also been much appreciated.”

“Stanton house took me pleasantly by surprise. With Stanton House there was genuine consideration for myself in preparation for the interview and the detail I was provided was in depth and supported me tremendously. I would say this was the best preparation I've been offered by a recruitment agency. The support was appropriate and had structure."

“For Stanton House, 'Candidate Care' is not a metric to be measured against or a goal to achieve, it is an ingrained practice that is fundamental to how they operate. From the very first interaction, I have felt not only looked after professionally, with a team behind me, but also enjoyed our discussions on a personal level. This has made the entire process enjoyable (not something many can say about searching for jobs).”
