WPP utilises Sphere’s embedded talent and project delivery teams annually. Here’s one example.

Assignment Details

Following an external hiring freeze and several major client wins, WPP experienced a rapid increase in hiring demand, with recruitment targets doubling in a short period of time.  

To meet this demand, Sphere was tasked with delivering hires at pace across key functions, including: 

  • Activation  
  • Planning  
  • Data  

Sphere was engaged to deliver 29 hires within a 13-week timeframe, requiring a highly efficient and scalable recruitment approach.  

Operating under tight deadlines and increased hiring volumes, WPP required a partner who could deliver high-quality talent quickly, without compromising on standards. 

Sphere Solution 

Sphere deployed its Project Delivery model to support WPP’s accelerated hiring needs. 

This included: 

  • Building dedicated account teams aligned to each specialist area  
  • Working closely with WPP’s talent team, including onsite collaboration  
  • Delivering high-volume shortlists across multiple disciplines  
  • Providing additional support through workshops and insight to enhance internal hiring processes  

This structured and embedded approach enabled WPP to scale quickly while maintaining quality across all hires.
