Challenges

Multiple roles were required with a quick turn around. However the prospective talent pool was modest due to the niche technical nature of the product and roles and multiple other firms had failed to fulfil. Location was also a hurdle, with relocation required and competitors offering remote working, this caused a barrier for candidates, further decreasing the size of the talent pool. In addition, market inflation, particularly in this sector, was creating a culture of unrealistic and unsustainable salary expectations from candidates.

Objectives

The clients requirements were to find and attract the very best technical specialists for multiple on-site roles within development. The roles varied in seniority and specialisms from design and development right the way through to performance and simulation.
