AGHealth and Recruitment Needs
-
About AGHealth: AGHealth sells innovative women’s health-based products into the healthcare sector, including the NHS and the private market.
-
Need for Expansion: The recruitment need arose from an opportunity to expand the sales team and decrease the territory size covered by each sales representative.
Challenges with Prior Recruitment Process
-
Limited Reach and Cost: The previous process involved advertising on the company website and LinkedIn. A key challenge was the limited number of applicants available through the free LinkedIn platform.
-
Time-Consuming Internal Work: Pre-screening and additional interview steps were done in-house, which was time-consuming for the already very small internal team.
Key Requirements and BMS’s Approach
-
Focus on Culture Fit: With a small team, a crucial requirement for BMS was finding an individual who was a true team and culture fit for AGHealth’s values, as each new member makes a significant difference.
-
BMS’s Screening Value: BMS spent extra time screening candidates based on culture fit, not purely on experience. This made the process smoother for AGHealth, who could then focus solely on assessing the candidate’s professional experience.
-
Quality of Candidates: The candidates presented by BMS were of a high level and aligned well with the recruitment brief.
Value of Working with BMS
-
Full Integration: BMS adds value by fully integrating themselves as if they were part of the internal hiring team.
-
Supported Partnership: BMS has regular catch-ups, and the relationship is a two-way conversation. This support and genuine interest make it feel like BMS is “bought into” what AGHealth is looking for, rather than being an external entity.
-
Personal Connection: The best part of the experience is that it feels like speaking to a person who fully understands the business, the value of the new hire, and is not treating the process as a simple “tick box” business transaction.
-
Exceeding Expectations: The most recent hire exceeded expectations, and BMS provided excellent service with regular, real-time updates.
