How long was client searching prior to our involvement?

3 months

Did client have internal recruiting resources?

No, the client had retained a different search firm 2 months before engaging with us with little to no results.

Why was this a real problem for the client?

Our client had identified a missed opportunity in their business that equated to $4M or more of lost opportunity cost. They were looking for a skilled sales rep who could capitalize on this. They had retained another search firm in the industry to help them with this. Ultimately, they did not see the results they needed and still had this need 60+ days after engaging another firm to help them with this. Within 30 days, our team successfully identified the market, gained traction in the space, and produced four candidates, two of whom were finalists, with one ultimately accepting the role.

How did this opportunity help the candidate?

The candidate had recently transitioned into a new role but took a dramatic pay cut to learn a new function. This opportunity allows him to learn that function further, work with a mentor who is eager to train and help him and also return his compensation to the level it was before the change.
