The Challenge
Our client, a key player in the mining industry, faced an urgent need to recruit 17 professionals within a six-month period. Historically reliant on traditional recruitment firms charging placement fees of 15%, the client was seeking a more cost-effective and scalable solution to manage this hiring surge while maintaining quality and efficiency.
The Solution
To meet the challenge, the client opted for three Advanced Subscription Plans with a six-month commitment. This approach allowed them to leverage dedicated recruitment expertise at a fixed monthly rate, ensuring flexibility and continuous candidate sourcing without the high commissions associated with traditional agencies.
The Results
-
Cost Savings: The total cost for the six-month engagement was $85,000, compared to the estimated $254,000 cost through a traditional agency, leading to savings of $169,000.
-
Efficiency: The entire recruitment drive was completed within the agreed timeframe, providing the client with the necessary workforce to sustain operations and growth.
-
Satisfaction: Impressed by the results, the client transitioned to a 12-month subscription plan post-mission to address ongoing, non-recurring hiring needs flexibly.
Key Takeaways
-
Cost Control & Transparency: Unlike traditional fee-based recruitment, our subscription model provided predictable, transparent pricing with no unexpected expenses.
-
Scalability & Agility: The client could ramp up recruitment efforts rapidly without being constrained by per-hire fees.
-
Long-Term Partnership: The success of the initial engagement led to an extended commitment, ensuring continuous recruitment support tailored to evolving needs.
