An industry leading International design firm
They set the standard for sustainability and kinetic architecture and have worked on such projects as the renovation of The Space Needle, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Center, and the Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa, OK.
The Challenge
The company hit an unprecedented state of growth. Internal talent acquisition team was not geared to scale up fast enough. Experience with staffing agencies was less than desirable in terms of the quality of candidates & time to hire.
Longer hiring cycle was hurting the operations team, forcing shuffling of staff to address customer priorities. Overall productivity was taking a hit and burdening the hiring managers with reviewing a large number of unsuitable candidates and taking away their precious time.
Considering the company was short-staffed and people were stretched, it was starting to affect customer deliveries. The leadership realized that in order to get to the next level, they needed to transform their hiring function. They opted to go with a strategic and long term solution and engaged snipebridge to help them meet their hiring goal.
