In 2022, 8 Service Desk Analysts, 5 Data Quality Officers, a Technical Project Manager, 10 Cerner Booking & Scheduling Officers, 2 Programme Managers, and an EPR Consultant were placed to provide support and expertise for the ongoing Surrey Safe Care Programme.

Charlotte English, a Project Manager who worked with Evolution, said:
“Evolution were really easy to deal with and informative about the process I would need to go through as I stepped into the contracting world. I was put forward for a suitable role which matched both my skill set as well as my area of particular interest. The knowledge that Evolution were able to provide me with ahead of the interview led to a really smooth interview process, which was followed through right to contract sign-off. I would definitely recommend Evolution!”

Israel Bamigboye, an EPR Trainer/RTT Pathway Consultant/Validation Team Lead, commented:
“The Evolution recruitment consultant that contacted me was highly professional and friendly, he has good knowledge of the requirements for the job role. He is very helpful, his timing is excellent, and provide accurate information. I really appreciate and enjoy my interaction with him also I like the speed the staff are working at.”

Overall, the call-off arrangement and the use of recorded interviews allowed Evolution to efficiently support the trusts with their recruitment needs, ensuring that they were able to effectively implement the new Cerner EPR system and provide high-quality care for their patients.
