The Problem
The client, a leading conglomerate and multinational company, has built its reputation on the consistent delivery of high quality products and services.
The client needed to recruit a Group Human Resource Manager within a relatively tight time frame. The business needed someone who could successfully lead and manage the company’s group HR function during a time of business change. The role was highly specialized with only a small number of suitably qualified candidates likely to be in the market.
Finding someone suitable, and fast, was going to be a particularly challenging task. The client needed a staffing firm that could effectively deliver on brief and meet their expectations.
OUR SOLUTION
To fully understand the role requirements, a team of staffing specialists held an in-depth meeting with the CEO and other group executives. Having obtained a clear understanding of the client’s needs, the Human Edge team was able to design and present an integrated recruitment strategy to management outlining timelines and key deliverables.
The integrated search campaign involved an extensive executive search supplemented by targeted advertising on heworld.com and other related social media platforms. Identified candidates were carefully screened using a mix of behavioral interviewing and thorough background checks, before a critical shortlist was presented to the client.
THE RESULT
Working within the deadline, the vacancy was filled with a high-caliber candidate who exceeded the client’s expectations.
The client was particularly pleased with the level of expertise deployed by Human Edge to the engagement and the extensive support provided to its in-house recruiters.The candidate appointed for the role not only had strong experience, but was also a good cultural fit. The client was extremely pleased with the level of service provided.
