16. Case Study - Gazprom
Based in London, Gazprom Marketing and Trading is a global business that provides customers with
integrated energy solutions. One of the UKs fastest growing energy suppliers with growth of over 500%
in the last 5 years, and ambitious plans to achieve £1billion profit by 2013, headcount growth has been
rapid and challenging.
The challenge: Gazprom’s rapid growth required an increase in both permanent and contract
headcount across all key technology areas. Allied to this was a requirement to ensure that hires were
the best talent available, with specific sector knowledge, and an ability to operate within a very fast
paced and demanding environment.
Gazprom’s internal recruitment team needed a supplier that could fully understand and source hard to
find technology skills meeting the timeframes set by the business. Maximising candidate suitability, and
minimising the administrative burden, allowed the internal recruitment team to focus key liaison with
the technology line.
The solution: Lorien’s Financial Services team specialises in networking amongst technology
professionals with sector specific experience. With a dedicated account manager to ensure full client
understanding and a team focused on candidate management, Lorien is able to provide a reactive
service that hits the standards required.
What the client thinks: “Lorien consistently performs to the highest of levels. They have provided a
platform from which we have been able to meet the demands of an ever growing and successful
business.” Alistair Milnes, Global Head of Resourcing

17. Testimonial – Swinton
“Lorien has been a preferred supplier for the provision of permanent IT staff to Swinton Insurance for
over 7 years. Throughout this time I have always been highly impressed with the level of service
offered, to such an extent that Lorien's dominance of our IT recruitment has resulted in them attaining
Exclusive supplier status over their competitors in the last 2 years.
The level of commitment and professionalism demonstrated by all of Lorien's staff has consistently
been of a very high standard and I have always found them to be an organisation ready to go the extra
mile to find the right candidate, even on the most demanding of roles. Over the years Swinton has
tested Lorien's ability to supply a wide variety of IT staff and they've proven able to source skills across
the complete IT spectrum time and again.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lorien to another organisation seeking a professional and responsive
service from an IT recruitment supplier.
Lorien has a long-standing history of dealing with Swinton in a relationship, which was formalised upon
their appointment to the PSL in 2000.”
