The Challenge
SPOC Group's Recruitment Challenge
SPOC GROUP is a leading company within the technical industry and has locations in the Netherlands and in Belgium. SPOC GROUP has an urgent need for engineers, piping mechanicals, and work planners. SPOC GROUP is a staffing agency in the technical sector and has major clients in the oil and gas world.
However, the labor market in the engineering sector is highly competitive. At the time the campaign started, there were countless open vacancies for these profiles and a significant shortage of available qualified candidates.
Our Solution
Thorough Introduction
We started with a thorough introduction to get to know SPOC. What are their goals, what challenges do they face, where are the opportunities, and what is the state of the market in which SPOC operates?
Strategy Determination
We began with a strategy determination. We performed bottom-up market research and engaged with potential candidates to establish a unique approach, tailored to the needs of SPOC and the specific requirements of the tight labor market in both Belgium and the Netherlands.
LinkedIn 'the way to go'
For SPOC, LinkedIn proved to be 'the way to go'. Using our software, we approached qualified candidates via LinkedIn in an automated but highly personalized manner. All potential candidates were thoroughly analyzed and selected based on the requirements set by SPOC Group.
Agile Approach
The market is tight. This means we have to stay on top of things. Is the approach working? Can it be improved? Every two weeks, we spent 30 minutes with SPOC to discuss interim results and implement adjustments.
