📞 Reached out to an organisation looking for an eCommerce Manager 3 months ago.   Spoke with them to understand challenges and requirements, who they typically hire and everything in between. ⌛ Role was fairly urgent as it was a replacement for someone in the current role   However, they wanted to keep costs low and look themselves(something we recommend everyone does in the first two weeks)   - Lots of applications - Plenty of time reviewing, speaking and meeting with applications - Most were irrelevant or didn’t quite match their cultural needs   📞 9 weeks past, and then we had another call.   - First candidate sent within 3 hours - Second sent over within 24 hours   🔥 Offer made and accepted within a week of working with us. It doesn't always go this way, I'll admit that. (these candidates weren't applying for roles too) If you've been looking for someone for over 3-4 weeks, you still may find someone, you may not. Working with a recruiter who speaks with your 'type' of people every day is going to make a real difference! 💡 If you find yourself in this situation, give us a call. 07742129693 | [email protected] Konker
