The Challenge
We connected with a former colleague from the agriculture industry to better understand how their team approached staffing. During our conversations, it became clear they needed a Vice President of Credit with experience managing large credit lines within the beef industry. Their current staff lacked a seasoned employee with that level of expertise, and they wanted to bring in an experienced addition to take their credit team to the next level. As our discussions continued, the client also shared that an employee on their commodity team had recently been let go due to poor client engagement. Because of our background and industry knowledge, they asked if we knew of anyone who could step into that role. We quickly leveraged our network to identify a qualified candidate, and the client was able to fill the position even before the VP of Credit search concluded.
The Solution
We drew on our established relationships in the agriculture industry to identify candidates who aligned with the client’s specific requirements. Our background in the beef industry was instrumental in sourcing two highly qualified individuals who fit seamlessly into their team. We also strengthened the search by engaging our network of vetted candidates, ultimately securing an exact match for the VP role.
The Result
Within just three months of working together, we successfully filled two direct hire roles. The candidates we brought forward offered fresh perspectives and came from backgrounds outside of the client’s usual recruiting channels. With these vacancies filled, the client has experienced first-hand how our network and recruiting capabilities deliver results far beyond what they had previously received. The level of trust built through these placements has positioned us as a long-term partner, and we expect the relationship to continue well into the future.
