Discovering Exceptional Talent for Your Company

Our client, a sales leader for a specialist manufacturing company, was looking to hire a remote sales manager. He went to a large recruiting firm and was asked to pay $15,000 up front. He was given a guarantee that he would be sent 5 candidates within a few weeks.

After going through 5 candidates, our client realized that none of them were ideal. He had spent the money in his budget up front and he needed to fill the role quickly. He found himself in a fix as he didn't have the budget to modify the role according to the updated requirements.

Eventually, he had to hire the best candidate out of the 5. This was after 2 months of searching. Unfortunately, the candidate was not the right fit. Our client had to let them go and start afresh.

Our client was back to square one after spending $15,000 and their valuable time and effort in the process.Luckily, the firm our client worked with had a guarantee, but it was not a money-back guarantee. Instead, they guaranteed to provide 5 more candidates if the hire didn't work out. The firm began searching again, but they would not respond to our client quickly and the candidates they had received had lacked the necessary skills.

That is when the client came to us. We functioned as an extension of his search. He didn’t have to pay us anything upfront, nor was he limited to just us. We took the job and provided our client with several candidates in the first 3 weeks. Within 6 weeks, one of our candidates was hired. Only then did our client have to pay us.

In summary, choosing a larger firm resulted in an expenditure of $15,000, consumed a span of 6 months, and posed challenges to team morale. In contrast, working with our team enabled our client to efficiently secure a qualified remote sales manager within just 6 weeks, and at a more cost-effective rate.
