Recruitment of BUSINESS DEVELoper for a commercial property business

Introduction:

This case study serves as a testament to our core values, demonstrating our commitment to conducting business with integrity and nurturing enduring relationships. At our core, we take pride in our unique ability to match individuals with businesses where they can truly thrive, not just work. Our approach is centered on active listening, as we diligently seek to comprehend the needs, aspirations, and concerns of both our clients and candidates. Our dedicated efforts are geared towards delivering tangible, impactful results, all while upholding fairness and responsibility. This approach empowers both individuals and companies to achieve remarkable success and accomplish great things.

Setting the Scene:

When a prominent commercial property business sought our assistance to fill a critical role, the initial step was a thorough consultation to understand the client's requirements and business landscape. During this stage, we offered invaluable advice regarding the ideal candidate's background and experience, setting the stage for a strategic recruitment process. We maintained continuous communication with the client to keep them informed throughout the candidate search.

Our Approach:

Crafting an engaging job advert

An engaging job advert is crucial as it acts as the initial impression for potential candidates, conveying the company culture and expectations effectively. Utilising numerous job boards increases visibility, widens the talent pool and helps attract diverse candidates, ultimately enhancing the recruitment process's effectiveness.

Targeted Candidate Sourcing

We conducted proactive searches on LinkedIn and Reed to identify potential candidates that met all the requirements. Leveraging social media for recruitment enables access to a vast network of potential candidates and also allows for targeted outreach and engagement with passive talent.

Rigorous screening and interview process implemented

This ensured the candidates were well-briefed and that only the most qualified and suitable candidates were presented to our client. Thorough screening mitigates the risk of mismatches, which saves the client valuable time and resources in the hiring process.

Challenges:

One of the primary challenges we encountered was the scarcity of active candidates. To address this, we adopted a hands-on approach. We actively sought referrals when speaking to potential candidates, ensuring that no stone was left unturned. Furthermore, the candidate who was ultimately offered the role expressed some concerns and requested time to consider the offer. In response, we maintained an unwavering commitment to transparency and open communication with both the candidate and the client. This approach allowed the candidate to make an informed decision and be confident that they were making the right step in their career path.

Outcome:

The candidate, having had the time they needed to evaluate the opportunity, independently accepted the role. They displayed genuine excitement about their future prospects within the business, highlighting the effectiveness of our approach in aligning the right candidate with the right opportunity.

Final Observation:

This case highlights the importance of maintaining transparency and open communication throughout the whole recruitment process.

Our commitment to ensuring that both parties were well-informed contributed to the successful placement of a candidate who was not only qualified for the role but also genuinely enthusiastic about their future career within the business.
