MDI Group improves outreach results with data.
SUCCESS STORY
At MDI Group, Client Manager Kristie Thomas, new to her role in a new city, was tasked with identifying local companies in need of IT talent. LinkedIn Talent Insights provided her the real-time data she needed to assess the local talent landscape and structure an outreach strategy with compelling messaging.
THE CHALLENGE
Understanding a new market
In her new role as Client Manager at search and staffing firm MDI Group, Thomas was tasked with identifying which of the firm’s existing accounts were in need of IT talent. New to the area and unfamiliar with the local companies and workforce, Thomas thought it would take her months to research the entirely new market.
THE SOLUTION
Ramping in a new market—quickly—with data
Thomas was able to search in real time for companies employing people in IT help-desk positions using LinkedIn Talent Insights. Armed with a list of targeted companies, she ran Company Reports in Talent Insights to analyze details on the companies that had lost—and won—IT help-desk talent. Thomas then prioritized leads and personalized her initial outreach, adding credibility to her messaging. As a result, she secured several client meetings and saved time contacting only those companies with urgent hiring needs.
