OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire HR Contact?

We were looking to recruit a Key Account Manager to represent us in the USA where we needed to replace an employee who was returning to the UK. Although this territory is known to us, we did not have any office / admin staff to run this project and we have had amazing previous success with HR Contact.

We needed a candidate that had experience, not only in the automotive market, but of our specific product basket.

SOLUTION

How did you select HR Contact?

We have used HR Contact to help us find staff, initially in Poland. Kasia's knowledge of the USA prompted us to use them as our single agency to source candidates for the role in Detroit.

Describe the engagement in detail.

When we briefed them, they also asked for the first 6 interview questions we would be asking the candidates, so that they could use them to help filter the candidates. This novel approach meant that we received the best 3 candidates, who were all interviewed, and all could have been employed (if we had had other vacancies).

We had two contacts within HR Contact and we spoke on a planned weekly basis to keep the project on track.

Excellent - they asked us how frequently we wanted to be contacted and we agreed on a regular weekly call.
