Engaged Search

Background

One of the world’s top producers of olefins and polyolefins and a leading supplier of aromatics, alpha olefins, styrenics, specialty chemicals, plastic piping and polymer resins was seeking a recruitment partner to fill two Sales Manager vacancies for a brand new business unit in the BENELUX and DACH regions.

Challenge

The client had been trying to fill two vacancies over the last 4 months with no success. Candidates they had identified had limited technical skills and were not of the calibre they were seeking. They needed a recruitment partner who was well networked within the speciality chemicals market who had a strong track record placing similar roles across Europe.

Airswift Solution

Airswift provided the Engaged Search service. This includes talent mapping, salary benchmarking and market perception study.

Results

Initial longlist was provided in 5 days and final shortlist was provided in 10 working days. Interviews arranged a week later and the offer closed out a week later. Within 20 days the prefered candidate had been secured and started one month later. As a result of this success, Airswift was awarded another search that was proving challenging for the client.
