3 years on and my client has a 100% retention rate whilst growing 900% internationally Brace yourself…77% of hiring managers would rather work with an external consultant. This is even higher when it comes to building their own leadership teams.Why? Simply put: >They’re strapped for time and recruiting is a job in itself! >They’ve exhausted their own network>It's like ground-hog day, they’re seeing the same candidates over and over again>Lastly, their internal team is presenting candidates that just don’t cut the mustard. My client was going through similar issues…She’s The UK managing partner of a Danish consulting firm which had successfully grown to a substantial size in Denmark. The company had huge ambition to expand internationally but despite several attempts, hadn’t ever grown over 10 heads in the UK. She soon discovered the issue.Management had fundamentally taken the wrong strategy to grow the market in the UK, Big changes needed to be made…She needed to find a new leadership team to execute these changes. She needed a team that could work in a modern way, and attract the right kind of digitally-minded talent to provide the right type of sustained growth. She went straight to the internal HR team and her network, but none of the candidates hit the mark. She realized valuable time was being wasted. That’s when she reached out to me…After agreeing to work together, we carefully planned our approach. >We sat down and designed highly effective job specs>We created a brief and a vision to inspire and seduce the Market place>We designed a process to hire the right individualsAll of this gave us the best possible chance of succeeding. The result…>We successfully hired and created an elite leadership team >We did it in the desired time frame >3 years on and all the candidates are still with the company >Most importantly the UK business has grown 900%!If you’re struggling to find the right candidates and you’ve tried all of the above, send me a DM, I might be able to help.
