The Brief:

We created a dedicated team made up of a project manager and 16 recruiters: eight devoted to sourcing and eight were assigned to evaluating candidates.

Our team sourced and managed candidates using the client’s ATS / HRIS and our internal databases, as well as job boards and social networks.

This project was an exhaustive recruitment process for which we evaluated over 4,750 candidates face to face: three candidates per shortlist within six weeks.

By the end of the project, the hiring managers satisfaction rate was 95%.
