Web Media Group LLC, which publishes comprehensive online and offline relocation guides for those moving to Austin, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Denver, Phoenix and Tucson, was searching for experienced Advertising Sales and Account Executives to help fuel its expansion.
Given the competitive market for these professionals and the reluctance of gainfully employed candidates to speak directly with hiring companies, the Web Media Group decided to forego their traditional internal recruiting efforts and contacted Reeve & Associates.
Kevin Evans, the President of the Web Media Group, selected the Budget Staffing given the attractive monthly rates and ability to “turn on and off” the service as needed—helping to manage expenses and lower the financial risk typically associated with staffing.
“Importantly, the Budget Staffing reaches a broader audience of candidates who are more comfortable talking with a professional staffing agency,” said Mr. Evans.
During the first week, Reeve & Associates contacted 111 experienced advertising sales professionals in the greater Austin area. During the next week, five telephone and five in-person interviews were conducted. During the fifth week of the search, two offers were extended—and both were accepted.
“Phil is highly focused and manages the staffing process exceptionally well. He provides clear and direct communications enabling us to make effective hiring decisions,” said Mr. Evans.
During 2019, the Web Media Group hired five Advertising Sales and Account Executives using the Budget Staffing. In total, the service slashed hiring cost by more than half saving the Web Media Group more than $33,000.
