Recruiting challenge

The challenge

HR factory GmbH needed to fill an HR Business Partner role with high professional requirements for a client – on a limited budget and without the option for overpriced senior candidates.

The demanding requirements profile included strategic HR consulting, change management, and business partnering – finding suitable candidates in the mid-price segment was challenging.

High requirements on a limited budget

The client needed an HR Business Partner with strategic expertise but could not afford overpriced senior candidates. Finding quality in the mid-price segment was complex.

Strategic HR expertise is expensive

Candidates with strategic HR consulting and business partnering experience are rare and accordingly expensive. The agency had to efficiently search for hidden talent.

Time pressure from client demands

The client needed a solution quickly. The agency was under pressure to identify and present qualified candidates within a short time frame.

Inefficient manual sourcing

Traditional searches via LinkedIn were too time-consuming and led to unstructured, hard-to-compare results. A job posting yielded almost no sufficiently qualified candidates.
