Case Study: Unlocking Talent Beyond the CV

Overview

Our client - a well-established manufacturing and design firm with a strong European presence - was launching into the UK market. With ambitious growth targets, they knew early hires would be critical for meeting their objectives.

 

Our Brief

They needed someone to take on a high-impact hybrid role, blending: sales, project management, customer support, and operations. After over six weeks of searching without success for someone in their market niche, they turned to us to find a candidate with the adaptability and depth of expertise needed to excel in this role.

 

Our Approach

We redefined the search strategy:

  1. Shifted from credential-based to skills-based hiring, casting the net wider to include non-industry candidates with transferrable experience.
  2. Utilised both active and passive sourcing to maximise the candidate pool and identify hidden gems.
  3. Conducted a highly focused screening process to evaluate core skills alongside adaptability and team fit.
