Precision and proactive search — 12 days to a confident hire

The job was advertised for 5 weeks, there were no suitable candidates.

A couple of interviews, but no one with the depth of experience they needed.

The purpose was clear.

The brand was known.

The impact was real.

They weren’t looking for a unicorn.

They were looking for a specific skillset.

And alignment on values was mission-critical.

Candidates with this experience are in demand, they have plenty of options.

Market dynamics can push salaries up, that’s the reality.

Even a known, respected brand can struggle to attract the right people.

They didn’t need more applicants. Just more of the right people.

12 days after we started the search, the job offer was made.

Heart Talent sourced 9 potential candidates.

The hiring team met 3, two were standouts.

“Both are excellent, we would hire both”.

And a few weeks later:

“We are over the moon, Cynthia. We are loving having her in our team”

This search was about precision over volume.

We didn’t need to attract more applicants.

The hiring team didn’t need to wait weeks for a shortlist.

We brought a compelling EVP to life.

We were laser-focused on the exact skill set.

We quickly identified and engaged the right people.

2 out of 3 weren’t actively looking.

We approached them with a compelling offer.

The recruitment process was comprehensive, but not slow.
