The Brief:
We first encountered the client at a trade exhibition, where their innovative vision inspection technology really caught our attention. During a conversation, it was evident the business had industry-leading technology and ambitious growth plans but lacked the UK sales team to make that vision a reality.
With them already working with another recruitment agency for four months and being presented with CVs who were not meeting their expectations. We recognised the challenges and explored their vision for the UK market, the specific qualities they sought in candidates, and their broader business objectives.
The Process:
With a clear understanding of the company’s history, future plans and goals, we developed a tailored retingency recruitment strategy.
In addition to proactively sourcing candidates, we drew on our extensive network within the metrology and vision inspection sector. This approach allowed us to identify additional candidates who not only possessed the required technical/commercial expertise but also resonated with the company’s growth ambitions—one of whom we had known for over six years.
The recruitment process got underway, and within two weeks, we had shortlisted five highly qualified candidates. Four of these candidates were invited to the first round of interviews, with three progressing to the second and final round. The complete process was concluded within seven weeks of taking the client brief.
In addition to sourcing high-calibre candidates, we provided valuable insights into the UK job market, particularly regarding compensation packages. With extensive experience within the market we were able to provide guidance around commission structures, incentive plans and pension contributions allowing the business to really appeal to high-performers that could help realise their UK growth plans. This played a vital part in securing key individuals from the market.
The Result:
Due to the high calibre of professionals we presented and our insights into building a competitive salary and compensation package, the company decided to bring forward their growth plans and extend offers to two of the three finalists, as opposed to just one as initially intended.
This decision reflected their confidence in the candidates and the value they could bring to the team. With the improved compensation package, both offers were promptly accepted, laying the foundation for a strong and mutually beneficial relationship between the candidates and the company.
What the Client had to Say:
I had the pleasure of working with Mase Consulting Ltd during a recent candidate search for Technical Sales Engineers and I can confidently say that their professionalism and expertise in the recruitment industry set them apart from others. From our initial conversation, it was clear that they had an excellent ability to understand the needs and goals of clients. They took the time to thoroughly understand our company’s recruitment needs and matched the skills and experience of candidates to those needs.
Mase consistently demonstrated the highest level of professionalism throughout the entire process. They were always punctual in communications, transparent about the hiring process and respectful of our time and preferences. Their approach was personable yet focused, ensuring that our company felt supported and informed at every stage.
The team kept me updated regularly, provided detailed feedback on candidates and were always available to answer any questions I had. This clear and concise communication made the recruitment process seamless and stress-free. They also had an innate ability to listen and adapt, ensuring that the advice and guidance provided was always tailored to our company’s specific needs.
Mase possesses deep industry knowledge and a comprehensive understanding of market trends. What truly set them apart was their thorough understanding of their client’s needs, and the backgrounds and qualifications of potential candidates, which facilitated a perfect match.
In conclusion, I highly recommend Mase Consulting to anyone seeking a recruitment partner who are not only knowledgeable and professional but also genuinely invested in the success of their clients. Their ability to understand, communicate and execute with precision is truly commendable making Mase Consulting a valuable partner in any recruitment search.
