Profile

• Start-up company needing to establish national presence rapidly.
• Hiring at multiple levels and skill sets.
• Affordable and effective solution was needed to meet their budget constraints.

Challenge:
Our client needed to ramp up quickly to staff over 40 office locations with branch managers, sales and technical resources for their first year of operation. These people would be true entrepreneurs in developing the business and would be working on 100% commission. As a new start-up, our client required an effective and affordable solution, and needed it quickly.

HRHQ Solution:
HRHQ immediately recognized the dual requirement of not only sourcing and screening candidates but also helping the client to clearly present a compelling case for this 100% commission opportunity to the candidates.

Applying a combination of our "Short-List PRO" technology and sound HR recruiting practices, HRHQ created an effective approach to initially find and screen candidates. These desirable candidates then further qualified themselves through a questionnaire / application exercise before then being presented electronically to the client who would move them through the remainder of the hiring process.

As the client's need grew from a regional to a North American focus, HRHQ later provided consultation services to help the client define and implement an affordable, web-based Applicant Tracking System (ATS) for managing the more complex, distributed hiring process.

Benefits:
The client was extremely pleased with HRHQ’s ability to respond quickly and effectively in geographic areas where the client did not initially have a physical presence. As branch managers came on board in the office locations, the client was able to delegate the accountability for hiring to these newly formed branch operations because of the scalable sourcing/screening process and applicant tracking system established with HRHQ assistance.
