Client Background: OH Talent Solutions
OH Talent Solutions is a niche recruitment agency focused solely on placing occupational health professionals. Their target roles include:
- Occupational Health Nurses
- OH Advisors
- OH Clinicians
- OH Technicians
- Specialist healthcare professionals across workplace wellbeing and employee health
Sectors They Recruit For
- Local councils
- Universities & colleges
- Private OH providers
- Public sector organisations

Their business depends heavily on staying ahead of hiring cycles, identifying recruitment needs early, and building relationships with organisations actively hiring or planning to hire occupational health staff.
To support this, they partnered with Pearl Lemon to strengthen their outbound engine.
The Challenge
Recruitment agencies in specialised medical sectors face several obstacles:
Difficulty Reaching Decision-Makers
- OH hiring authority often sits with departmental heads, HR leads, clinical managers, or council-specific units none of whom are easy to access without structured outreach.
Lack of Reliable Contact Data
- Public databases rarely contain direct contact emails for heads of OH departments. Accurate data must be sourced, verified, and maintained.
Need for Consistent Lead Flow
- Recruitment pipelines depend on regular conversations, which requires daily prospecting activity something many agencies struggle to maintain internally.
Early Qualification Is Critical
Understanding:
- Who handles hiring
- Whether they use agencies
- When they are next hiring
- What their internal processes look like
is vital to a profitable recruitment pipeline.
OH Talent Solutions wanted not just “leads,” but qualified, structured intelligence about organisations in their sector. Pearl Lemon’s cold calling team stepped in to fill this gap.
