Challenge

The client needed to strengthen an underperforming RFP team during a period of corporate restructuring and ambitious growth. Existing agencies were unable to deliver suitable candidates, while the approved salary budget was below current market expectations for experienced talent.

Solution

We provided salary benchmarking data to support approval for an increased hiring budget aligned with market conditions. Through regular consultation with the client, we gained a deeper understanding of the role requirements, development opportunities, and unique selling points of the position, enabling us to engage high-quality passive candidates.

Results

We delivered a strong shortlist aligned with the client brief and maintained close communication throughout the process, allowing the hiring manager to move quickly on preferred candidates. Both positions were successfully filled, leading to improved team reputation, efficiency, and recognition as a key contributor to the firm’s business development efforts.
