Overwhelming Search for Design Candidates
Contract – Try before you buy approach to contract staffing alleviates stress in niche design candidate search
“The staffing team at Profiles is outstanding. We couldn’t be happier with their responsiveness and the caliber of candidates we have received. We ended up hiring several of them as permanent employees. Our account rep, Tina Lee, is always a pleasure to deal with and always has come through for us.”
Constance D., Senior Creative
The Client
A human resources non-profit in search of creative talent with both digital and traditional skills sets.
The Challenge
A non-profit organization that specializes in the Human Resources industry was challenged to recruit on very specific requirements for multiple design positions. When it came to hiring a designer, this non-profit required digital, illustration, and video experience. This client was receiving applicants that had the digital chops but not video or vice versa. Identifying someone that had a minimum of five years of experience designing infographics, presentations, proposals, email marketing, landing pages, custom illustrations, and video was an overwhelming undertaking.
The Solution
A contract-to-hire solution allowed this client to try before they committed to a long-term hire. The special sauce was for Profiles’ dedicated point of contact to provide consultative debriefs for each represented candidate for the client to better understand their options and make an informed decision.
The Results
Profiles achieved exclusivity as the non-profit’s #1 agency partner. As of recent, Profiles has helped this client hire a total of 13 design positions.
