It's been a few months since i've commenced a recruitment partnership with this awesome multinational FMCG business and one of the top 3 brands globally.

Their reliance on LinkedIn advertising and job portals made them hesitant to work with a specialist headhunter for ROI reasons, of course and for over a year they struggled with attracting the best people. Its taken them on average between 2-3 months to get to an offer on each vacancy advertised. At times, the candidate would drop out at the last minute and all that time and effort was down the drain. Back to the drawing board it was!

I can relate as i've advertised jobs on several social media platforms and jobs boards over the past 13 years. A bare 9% of my placements over the years have been though a candidate that applied. It's always been the good ole headhunting approach that's been effective.

When advertising jobs, 3 challenges arise - Besides the cost of advertising

1) 1000's of applications, meaning filtering, sifting through and possibly missing out on a handful of relevant candidates. Is it worth the time?

2) A majority of the applications received are not suitable

3) Having to screen/interview and spend considerable time only to realise that the job needs to be re-advertised. The clock ticks away

Finally after much perseverance, my now awesome client agreed to partner with #talenttapmena. In the last 2 months, we have successfully turned around 4 Mid to Senior level jobs. 2 have joined the business and are doing wonders, 1 is due to join them shortly and the fourth candidate has just accepted their offer. All 4 of the jobs were vacant for way too long and this has impacted the business dearly

As a specialist recruitment business, we don't just wait for a quality candidate to fall in our lap – we troll our clients competitors and the marketplace for people in similar positions and "sell" them the opportunity. Because we live and breathe recruiting and have the time to identify and reach out to passive candidates in a way that’s probably just not possible for your team.

We can turn a month-long search into one that lasts just a few days. Using us effectively can not only reduce the stress of recruiting, but it can also help you guarantee a long-term hire. Did i mention that we have a free replacement guarantee?

We have access to over 150 million personal e-mails, 200 million work emails and 100 million direct dials. This ensures that we are in a strong position to engage with Passive Candidates using AI and give you the best people that aren't applying online.

We would highly recommend our AI Partner ContactOut, who make this possible

Reach out to me if the above resonates with you and i'll be happy to make your hiring process a dream
