Client Issue: Our client was struggling to find someone for a new role using an unusual skill set, involving visual planning and buyer trend analysis, to work in a multi-disciplinary team. The delay was holding up internal movement, and career and business development.
Our tailored solution and results: Following a connection made through LinkedIn and our thorough screening process, the team recognised the ability and potential for one of our candidates, to fulfil our clients’ needs immediately. The multi-skilled candidate had recently become available and came with a varied background in the logistics field, through to management level. Our interview process identified several transferable skills which could be utilised for our client’s role. Our candidate started immediately, completing training and induction periods without the need for completing a notice period elsewhere and was able to quickly make a significant contribution to the team.
Our consultants meet people, face-to-face, and get to understand their skills, personalities, requirements and goals. We don’t rely on matching key words or sending lots of cvs, in the hope that a ‘that’ll do- solution’ will be found. Instead we strive to exceed expectations. Delving beyond the details found in a cv or a job or person specification helps the team at Impact to identify creative problem-solving opportunities. In this instance, this not only saved time and enabled our client to go ahead with their plans for their brand and business developments, but also enabled others to fulfil their career ambitions within the team, without delay.
