Introduction/Overview
CBRE, a prominent player in the 3P world, approached Proactive Global. The company faced a critical recruitment challenge as it struggled to fill essential positions for its Amazon sites. The challenge was exacerbated by the difficulty of sourcing skilled candidates in a highly competitive market. If these roles remained unfilled, the client risked delaying key projects and losing valuable business opportunities, potentially impacting overall productivity and profitability.
Client’s Challenge/Problem
The client faced a significant challenge in recruiting vacancies, with a shortage of qualified candidates. The internal recruitment team struggled to meet the demand for skilled candidates due to a lack of internal resources and a high volume of openings. Despite their efforts, roles went unfilled for months, affecting launch timelines and team performance. They aimed to hire high-quality candidates quickly, ensuring business operations could proceed without delays. As the talent competition increased, the client realized they needed external expertise to source the best candidates efficiently.
Our Approach/Strategy
To address the client’s recruitment needs, we first conducted an in-depth consultation to understand their pain points, the specific skills required, and the broader goals of their hiring process. Using a combination of industry research and targeted outreach, we implemented a strategic approach that involved candidate sourcing through specialized job boards and leveraging our extensive network of industry contacts. We customized our search by aligning our efforts with the client’s specific requirements, ensuring that every candidate met the company’s high technical skills and cultural fit standards. We also integrated directly with the client’s internal recruitment team to streamline the hiring process and maintain communication throughout.
