A software company was searching for a Director of Product Marketing to manage a team of 25 marketing professionals to develop and implement a go-to-market strategy for a new offering.
Given the hands-on leadership requirements and the necessary experience interpreting customer needs and working with specific technologies, the company engaged Reeve & Associates' Retained Flat Fee Recruiting solution to target ideal candidates.
Over a two-month period, nearly 2,500 professionals with the required complex skills were identified and contacted, with Reeve & Associates holding discussions with more than 200. Ultimately, 12 interviews were conducted by the hiring manager resulting in one offer that was immediately and enthusiastically accepted. In total the process took just under two months.
"Our needs were highly specific, and no other organization was successful. We were impressed that the BuRetained Flat Fee Recruiting solution identified a dozen great candidates," said the hiring manager. "But we were more than pleasantly surprised that we found our ideal candidate for just $7,500 -- saving us $38,750 compared to a traditional contingency approach."
