Budget Staffing Case Study

A medium-sized and rapidly growing market supplier, was seeking to hire an experienced Director of Research. Rather than conducting the search in-house, spending countless hours on LinkedIn, posting ads or engaging a typical contingency recruiter, they turned to Reeve & Associates.

The company’s President and Co-Founder was confident she could accomplish two objectives by leveraging Phil’s industry knowledge and staffing experience—make a quality hire while enabling her to focus upon operating and growing the company.

The company selected Reeve & Associate’s innovative Budget Staffing to help lower the overall hiring cost knowing the service would quickly deliver highly qualified candidates.

Within one week, Reeve & Associates contacted 54 currently employed professionals. During the next two weeks, ten telephone and two in-person interviews were conducted. During the seventh week of the search, an offer was extended and accepted.

“Throughout the process, Phil provided an invaluable perspective—helping us refine our objectives and understand the unique strengths of each candidate. He also moved very quickly, which was a delight,” said the President & Co-Founder.

Within two months, the position was filled resulting in a $11,500 staffing fee compared to a $22,000 fee under a typical 20% contingency model. “I was delighted to pay an effective staffing rate of 10.5% and save my company $10,500 in the process,” said the President & Co-Founder.

Our Budget Staffing engagement was so successful, Reeve & Associates began working to staff two additional market research positions and a Director of Marketing
