Oracle HRMS Payroll Project Manager - Hounslow Borough Council
"I can testify to the professionalism and above all the specialist knowledge that Square One's Oracle Practice brings. They have staffed a number of high profile Oracle Payroll projects that I have successfully delivered, always with the right blend of Consultant who is both 'fit for purpose' and 'fully committed' to me as a client. I would always come to Square One for my resource needs and highly recommend the organisation to any client involved in the Oracle E-Business Suite."

Delivery Operation Director, Oracle Corporation
"Square One has been a key supplier in meeting Oracle's additional resource needs. We receive an excellent service and have contracted over 100 contractors from Square One covering: E-Bus suite, Oracle Core Technology and PeopleSoft since 2005. Square One is a true specialist in its field and shows a flexible and mature approach to both delivery and account management"
IT Manager, The Global Fund - Switzerland
“It’s a pleasure working with Square One. They proved themselves to be a quality provider of Oracle contract resources. They are a responsive and personal recruitment company, who take the time to get to know both their customers’ business environment and their specific needs. They take the time to understand the role and the team into which they are placing people. This means that more often than not we see candidates who are technically qualified for the role are also a good personality match. In addition they maintain excellent relationship with me".
ERP Support Practice Manager - Vertex Data Science
“Contract and Permanent Oracle E-Business Suite Consultants from Square One have been key in supporting Vertex through a number of ‘Greenfield’ implementations. As testament to Square One’s specialist Oracle skills I have hired over 20 contractors from them and a number as permanent employees.”
Development Manager - TK Maxx
“Square One has always managed to find me the right people for the job, and invariably faster than other recruitment agencies – sometimes within the same day. I have also appreciated their openness and good service – regular check-up calls to see how the contractors are doing in the first couple of weeks of the contract, as well as full disclosure of the margins they are making, and what the contractors are receiving.”
RCUK - Study
RCUK’s is the largest implementation of Oracle R12 in the UK. Square One was the most successful supplier of contract resource to this project, with 25 Contractors onsite at its peak.
The location, Swindon, and the fact that this was a public sector project meant that this was a challenging search as most Contractors had anywhere between an hour and 2 hours commute each way; also the Contractor’s daily rates were lower in comparison to commercial projects.
Due to the Square One’s extensive knowledge of the Oracle application candidate base in the UK, we were able to find candidates who not only committed to the commute to Swindon, but also to seeing the project through to completion. This is demonstrated by the continued low attrition rate of our placed contractors, despite the market showed signs of improvement.
Teamsolve - Study
Teamsolve is an Oracle e-business Gold Partner, whose practice areas are based on database support and remote e-business best practices.
Location: Derby
Over the past 5 years, we have placed 84 Contractors (half of these Contractors’ contracts are extended repeatedly) with Teamsolve and have outperformed their original suppliers through consistent delivery of high quality resources; this has led to us becoming a Trusted Partner to Teamsolve, who have awarded us lead vendor status.
We do not supply Teamsolve on long term engagement i.e. 3 to 6 months plus. Due to the nature of their business they only require Contractors for 1, 2 or 3 day engagements. As we are committed to supporting Teamsolve in achieving their business objectives, we put the same effort into successfully resourcing for these short term engagements as we would do the long term ones.
Pace - Study
Pace is an Oracle e-business end client that provides the latest in digital technology hardware. The client required Oracle resource to help them work on system enhancement projects required to run simultaneously to enable Pace to be in a position to upgrade in 2011.
Pace’s challenges on this project included:
• Rates;
• Location;
• High demand on top performers to comply with these parameters;
• The mind set and character of the individuals resourced; and
• Multi projects running at the same time with demands on deadlines.
Pace’s Hiring Manager said, "We know what we can hire at these rates", plus stiff competition from rival suppliers during tight market times…”
We have provided contingent resource to Pace over a period of 5 years. However, there has been a volume surge in Pace’s resource requirements recently and Square One has provided successfully against every single requirement. At the project peak this year, we had 10 contractors on site.
Director - Business At Work
"It has been a pleasure working with Square One's PeopleSoft & Oracle E-Business Suite Practices over the past 5 years. Their unique combination of market knowledge and recruitment best practice has led to a true partnership between the two organisations. I use Square One solely for my recruitment needs and would not hesitate in referring them as 'true market specialist'."
