We initially chose to run this junior marketing hire internally. After a month of advertising and screening applicants, we were struggling to identify candidates who truly aligned with what the role required.
Will had approached us earlier about supporting the search, so when we decided to engage an agency, we brought him in.
Within 24 hours he presented a focused shortlist of strong, well briefed candidates.
The first two we met were stronger than any of the direct applicants we had seen over the previous two months.
What stood out was how closely he listened to the brief. He clearly understood our business, the nuances of the team and the type of individual who would succeed here. The candidates were articulate, well prepared and aligned to our expectations from the outset.
The role was successfully filled within eight days of engaging Will. The process was efficient, straightforward and commercially effective. We would not hesitate to work with him again.
