One of our clients in the Industrial Robotics industry reached out to us recently because they were looking to ramp up their staffing & recruitment efforts, and their internal Head of HR was having trouble managing the open req load all on her own.
They needed a top tier Head of Recruitment that could streamline processes, upgrade systems, and reduce the amount of external recruitment fees they were paying to *ahem* Firms Like Ours…
We’d just come through on placing 5 Technical Sales professionals all across Texas & Louisiana, so it was somewhat bittersweet to get the call to ‘replace’ ourselves, but we’d much rather have an ally internally than someone who may view us as a competitor.
Within 3 weeks, Andrew Johnson was able to submit 13 qualified candidates to the hiring manager – of which, 11 were selected for interviews, with 4 top-tier professionals making it to the final round.
Who was the winning candidate?
Well – the person who WANTED it the most.
A nine-year veteran who received an increase in job title, increase in base pay, and the focused will & desire to build out the recruitment program – from scratch.
Are we still working with the company? – Absolutely.
We’ve just gone from a ‘grudge purchase’ to a ‘clutch closer.’
