A Fortune 100 CPG brand embarked on a significant digital transformation, establishing a new digital office and appointing a new chief digital officer. The office would support and enhance B2B online ordering across a vast network of distribution channels serving over 200,000 customers. But to support critical new product deployment, this initiative required quickly hiring thirty highly specialized, functional, and technical employees — all within compressed timelines.

With no existing talent acquisition processes or a formal talent acquisition function in place, the client engaged our Talent Solutions team to develop and execute a comprehensive hiring strategy to meet these objectives.

Collective Insights assembled a dedicated program and project team to establish, drive, and manage the recruitment process. This included sourcing and managing the talent pipeline, training client leadership on a new interview process, and establishing a new employment brand identity.

As a result, the client successfully hired all the required roles on time and under budget. The partnership not only met the hiring deadlines and DEI objectives, but also delivered significant cost savings compared to traditional staffing options.

A Fortune 50 telecommunications and media company faced challenges filling critical roles for upmarket B2B enterprise sales. Traditional reactive recruiting led to delays, impacting quotas and leaving key positions vacant. As the company targeted more complex enterprise sales, it became clear that a specialized talent pool was needed to align with the company’s culture and sales cadence.

To address this, the company partnered with Collective Insights’ Talent Solutions, which developed a proactive recruiting model. This model built a bench of pre-vetted, aligned sales candidates tailored to the company’s unique sales fingerprint. The program ensured a ready pool of qualified candidates, reducing time-to-hire and improving cultural fit and integration.

Each hiring manager had access to local candidates who were already engaged with the brand, thoroughly evaluated, and hire-ready. Implemented on a large scale, the program successfully met the demands of various markets nationwide. As a result, the client adopted this strategy across all regions, ensuring a consistent pipeline of top-tier sales talent to meet evolving business needs.
