Project to recruit manager-class consultant in the healthcare sector

Client Consulting arm of a large foreign auditing firm
Position Manager-class consultant in the healthcare sector
Country UK
Term 2~6months (from the acceptance of 2 members to joining the company)

Status

The client is consulting arm of a large well-known international auditing firm. Compared with the parent’s size and history, the client is much smaller due to its short history and brand penetration. It was necessary to acquire manager level consultant who could commit to client development and project delivery for its future growth. However it has been difficult to make an appointment as there aren’t many talents who can fulfill the requirements in the market.

Our Plan

We successfully reached a talent pool that usually do not turn up in the
job market by appointing a consultant who had a broad network throughout the
industry. The candidate was already popular figure at the present firm but we managed to persuade him to move
by appealing new opportunities, e.g., global engagement, engagement with big social impact,
by utilizing the client’s international network.

Result

By using the personal network, we managed to find personnel the client was looking for.
Also, we were successful in touching the hidden ambition of job change of the candidates by
telling what this oppoerunity means to them, based on our knowledge and experience on the
industry.
