The challenge
CVS Group, one of the UK’s largest integrated veterinary services providers, appointed a new CIO to deliver a modern technology strategy and revamp its architecture.
The transformation required balancing innovation with operational stability — planning for a leaner, future-ready operating model while keeping business systems running smoothly.
During this transition, CVS needed urgent contract support and several key permanent hires to maintain momentum through a period of significant organisational change.
Our approach
Revoco partnered with CVS to provide fast, focused and sustainable recruitment support by:
- Activating specialist talent pools - We mobilised experienced contract recruiters to quickly identify and place high-quality candidates, minimising disruption to operations.
- Bridging skills gaps - We conducted a skills audit and supported the creation of refined job specifications to ensure clarity and alignment across roles.
- Leveraging insights for future hiring - Using our Hindsight feedback tool, we gathered candidate insights to shape future campaigns and refine CVS’s EVP.
- Embedding sustainability - In support of CVS’s ESG goals, we offset the carbon footprint of each new hire’s first year.
The impact
Revoco enabled CVS to maintain stability while driving transformation forward, ensuring the business could continue operating seamlessly during significant change.
Key results
- 42 contractors onboarded
- 29 permanent hires placed in key technology roles
