International Brand Management Firm

 
Two technology placements previously open for eight months, in two weeks under strict budget

Challenge

Our client, a multi-million dollar, international brand management firm was in need of two high-level technology professionals under a strict budget. Under contract with preferred staffing vendors for all of their information technology needs, these positions remained open for eight months, with the current vendors unable to provide quality talent. Our client opened these searches to LaSalle Network and, unlike our national counterparts, we delivered.

Identify – SharePoint business analysts with four to six years of business analyst experience; experience performing requirements gathering, end user analysis and process planning. FileMaker business analyst with prior application support experience and familiarity with standard concepts, practices and procedures within SDLC
Qualify – SharePoint business analysts with at least one year of exposure to MOSS 2007 / WSS 3.0. FileMaker business analysts with attention to details and commitment to quality; bachelor’s degree with technology major and over two years of relevant work experience
Deliver – A qualified candidate to start immediately under budget constraints

Solutions

To address our client’s needs for strong technology professionals, LaSalle Network developed a specific sourcing and recruitment strategy.

The recruitment strategy consisted of the following:

  • Direct Sourcing – LaSalle’s direct sourcing efforts allowed us to present three and four candidates, respectively, for these specialized technology roles.
  • Social Media – LaSalle Network utilized Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to deliver career information the way some candidates prefer to receive it. Using cutting-edge recruitment strategies aids LaSalle’s project managers in identifying top talent for our clients.

Results

After eight months of inactivity from national staffing firms, LaSalle Network was able to recruit, interview and deliver a SharePoint business analyst and a FileMaker business analyst within two weeks time. Our high-caliber SharePoint candidate was so impressive she was offered the role on the spot in her first interview. LaSalle’s quick turnaround and high caliber candidates, paired with our flexibility on pay structure, compelled this global leader to come to LaSalle for accounting, finance and administrative needs in the future.
