Case Studies Birmingham City Council - Interim Programme Director – Commonwealth Games (Athlete’s Village) Birmingham City Council is the local government body responsible for the governance of the City of Birmingham in England, which has been a metropolitan district since 1974. MRG Interim Executives were approached by Birmingham City Council to secure an immediate interim candidate for its Programme Director vacancy, leading the development of the Athlete’s village ahead of the 2022 Commonwealth Games. A comprehensive attraction strategy was developed and presented by MRG to ensure a quick and efficient process. MRG conducted a thorough face-to-face and video-call screening service, followed by a tailored interview process to best suit Birmingham City Council. MRG then assisted with the final selection process by securing the successful candidate and providing feedback to all who interviewed, completing the cycle. The team ensured there was a good number of candidates shortlisted and presented; this was key to ensuring we hired good quality professionals who were both technically strong and a good cultural fit. Ensuring that MRG consultants thoroughly researched the Construction and Estates market meant that a number of suitable high quality candidates were presented to Birmingham City Council, leading to a greater level of trust being built between the consultants and BCC and made it simpler to select outstanding candidates for the variety of new roles. “ We were very pleased with the recruitment service provided by MRG in our searches for this specialised, niche role within our CWG Directorate. The team ensured there was a good number of candidates shortlisted and presented to us; this was key to ensuring we hired good quality professionals who were both technically strong and a good cultural fit. I would look to use them again when recruiting .” Mina Parmar, Interim Portfolio Director Birmingham City Council
