The Agency provided HR advice on the project and carried out all its stages, including on-site interviews. The Client’s responsibility was to review the candidates pre-selected by the agency and to later participate in the final interview with the finalists.ResultThe recruitment was completed in 3 months, which constituted only half of the time originally assigned for the project. On average, 20 candidates were recruited for each vacancy. The turnover in the first year involved only one person, despite the fact that we recruited another 10 staff members in the same year. Eventually, the project involved the employment of 35 people, with a turnover of only a few percent in the first 3 years of its business operation.

Recruitment challengeBefore Pomerico was assigned the project of recruiting a Quality Control Manager, the Client had tried to run their recruitment independently using various, rather unsuccessful methods. Other recruitment agencies had also been contacted. The conclusion was either that the project was impossible to execute or that no positive results were guaranteed. Pomerico had pointed out the challenges at the very beginning of the cooperation, but with an increased budget, we committed to putting forward the right candidates. The Client selected a premium service, that is, to invest more money in the recruitment campaign. Within 2 months from the start of the recruitment, the desired candidate was to start work. The project was particularly difficult because it entailed a very specific set of competencies and skills in a rare specialization, plus we had little time to deliver.Range of operationsA meticulously precise recruitment campaign in a well-defined target group. The project involved the performance marketing department, as well as Direct Search methods.ResultFinally, within 5 weeks, a dozen candidates meeting the criteria were selected and the most suitable candidates were presented to the Client. After another two weeks the perfect candidate began work.
