Filling an Enterprise Client's Long-Vacant Specialist Role Through Direct Headhunting

The Challenge

An enterprise client's specialist role had sat vacant for over a year, despite repeated recruitment attempts through standard channels and multiple recruitment partners. The role's narrow requirements meant the usual applicant pool simply didn't contain candidates who matched what the business actually needed.

Our Approach

Alliance International's headhunting team started from scratch, mapping the realistic universe of candidates who matched the role's narrow requirements rather than repeating the broader searches that had already failed. Each candidate was approached directly and assessed against the specific gap the previous year of searching had left unfilled, with the client's hiring manager involved from the first shortlist.

The Outcome

The role was filled within the headhunting search's first few months, after more than a year of unsuccessful attempts through other channels, closing a gap that had been affecting the business's operations throughout that time.
