In-house recruiting produces results at Powell.
SUCCESS STORY
A global engineering business that manufactures and delivers products across a wide range of sectors, Powell needed to recruit people with very specific skill sets for positions across the globe. To do so, the small internal recruiting team leaned heavily on outside staffing agencies, which was costly. LinkedIn helped the team bring recruiting fully in house so they could engage directly with the right candidates and reduce costs.
THE CHALLENGE
A costly recruitment process
Powell regularly partnered with staffing agencies to help its stretched-thin recruiting team identify and recruit the diverse talent they needed. While this process was efficient, it wasn’t cost effective and Powell needed to make a change. Data indicated that candidates sourced directly by the recruiting team were staying longer, confirming their need for a different approach.
THE SOLUTION
Moving recruitment fully in house
Powell’s recruitment team knew that to attract and retain the best talent, candidates needed to better understand the company culture. After previously experiencing success with Sponsored Content, the company launched its LinkedIn Career Page to help build Powell’s employer brand and access talent with a wider skill set, and help reduce churn of new hires.
