What problem did they face?
CNS Media was looking to hire two new employees, a Digital Marketing Executive and an Account Director.
They were having trouble finding qualified candidates on their own using traditional methods like job boards or manual sourcing.
The cost to post on multiple job boards was also a problem, as often, job boards provide irrelevant candidates which then need further qualification to make sure they’re the right fit,.
The Account Director role was pivotal to their expansion so it was crucial for CNS to get the perfect candidate as quick as they possibly could.
How did Caroo help?
To begin with, the very idea of outsourcing the hiring of an Account Director to an external agency gave CNS Media’s internal talent team the chills.
Working with a sales recruitment agency can be expensive & sometimes the terms of business can be complex and a challenge to wrap your head around. As urgent as the role was, CNS didn’t feel like shelling out absurd amounts of money on something they could potentially manage themselves.
However, Caroo stepped in and made the whole process much smoother.
Not only did we offer competitive pricing, we also gave CNS some favourable terms and a quality service to make the decision to use an agency a no brainer.
Using Caroo, CNS were able to effectively fill both roles and relatively quickly.
Caroo also managed to find the perfect person for the Account Director role in just 12 days.
They were hired 6 days later, enabling CNS Media to continue their propelled growth.
What did CNS Media have to say?
“When we first engaged with Caroo, we weren’t sure.
We’d had previous experiences with recruitment agencies and none of them were positive or left us wanting more.
Caroo was different.
I felt like they really listened to our needs, and this later reflected when they sent CVs across. All of the candidates that were put forward were absolutely brilliant and we had a really hard time choosing between the selection that was offered.
They were also incredibly communicative at every stage.
We never felt left in the dark or anything like that, it was all pretty straight forward and we knew who we could call if we ever had any concerns.
In the end, the best candidate won and we couldn’t’ve been any happier.
It took them 12 days to find us the perfect fit and they’re still with us today doing a brilliant job. I’d recommend their marketing recruitment services to anyone looking to grow their team cost effectively. ”
