Hiring Manager Relocated Cross Country, Staffing Up Team
A new Creative Director (and past consultant of Profiles) makes business case on why to enlist Profiles.
The Client
Relocated from Virginia to Texas, the Creative Director (also the Hiring Manager) of a global convenient store had hiring needs for the Digital department. It took two months to secure Profiles as a preferred staffing vendor and within a very short time, eight consultants were placed.
The Challenge
A global convenient store hired a new Creative Director to run the Digital Presence Team. This new hiring manager had a great experience with Profiles in the past as a talent placed by Profiles, eventually becoming a hiring manager and enlisting our services to grow their team. Now, relocated from Virginia to Texas, the Creative Director was settled into the new role at the global retail brand and wanted Profiles to staff their team. The business was apprehensive at first, as they already had an existing network of preferred suppliers.
The Solution
Profiles and the Hiring Manager worked diligently with Procurement. After two months of making the business case as to why Profiles is best suited to staff the creative department, Profiles is now a preferred supplier and the second ever out of state supplier approved. What made us stand out was our proven experience with the Hiring Manager as well as the great benefits package we offer to our consultants.
The Results
In a very short period, Profiles placed eight consultants within the creative department in Dallas, TX. Job titles that have been placed include graphic design, email development, photography, art direction, social media design, and web content management – all of which create deliverables for both digital and in-store displays.
The client has rated Profiles customer service a 10 of 10 when asked, “How likely are you to refer Profiles to a friend or colleague?”
