Comprehensive Managed Recruitment Outsourcing Solution with Talent pipelining and database building for an Engineering Consulting Firm

Business Issue

$1.4 Billion Engineering Consulting Firm with 8,000 employees was missing out on millions of dollars in consulting revenue due to a lack of engineering resources.  The contingent firms were producing the same recycled group of active candidates. HR leaders knew they needed to bring in recruiting specialists to take a more deliberate approach to their hiring needs.

Novo's Solution

After carefully analyzing the volume, difficulty and geographic needs of the positions, Novo helped the company design and implement an 18 month Managed Recruitment Outsourcing model that fostered deep collaboration between the HR team and hiring managers to attract top engineering talent.  Novo created a team of senior level recruiters and researchers and built a clearly defined communication and escalation plan. Once engaged Novo was able to produce the high quality consulting engineers the client's leadership team expected.

Results

The client's goals were to hire 30 "hard to find" engineering resources and build their applicant tracking system database for "future use" candidates. The cost per hire was decreased by 40% and the database now has over 500 Engineers and Project Managers. This database will support future project needs and networking efforts to further reduce their cost per hire.
