“Overcoming the mind block”

Client

The client was an Indian manufacturer of high-quality watch components. It was ISO 9001-2000 certified having around three production facilities in India with huge capacities.

Role

We worked on three positions with the client namely Commercial Manager, Head – Business and Marketing Manager.

Challenge

The real challenge working with the client was the mind block on the candidates’ side towards an Indian company and apprehensions about the company’s professionalism and work culture. The client was looking for high performers in MNC and was unwilling to compromise on the quality of hire.

What we did

We spent time understanding the culture and working environment of the client. We took time to understand their systems and processes in details and comprehend their “way of working.” We realized that how we handle candidates would not only reflect on our firm but also our client. We educated the candidates on the client; its vision, its way of working, culture, people, etc. This not only ensured that we overcame mind block of the candidates but also helped the client in re-positioning its brand. We were able to successfully complete all three searches. The feedback from the candidates after they joined made us feel even more satisfied with our work.
