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