In the words of a long-time client, “Having a staffing partner who can help you not only find the right person but also the right roles for your team, pays dividends not just tomorrow but for months and years to come.”  While managers often wait to engage recruiting firms like LandaJob until after finalizing job descriptions and internal discussions, more clients are realizing the value of involving skilled recruiters earlier in the process for strategic insights and better outcomes.

“Our marketing team at the time had a variety of needs, some very tactical and some more strategic in nature.  These had often been bound up in job descriptions that needed to be modernized and, quite frankly, in some cases broken apart,” said client Bradford Warner. “Landajob was engaged to assess the various functions and staffing recommendations before posting roles, optimizing the recruitment process, and reducing potential costs. Our collaborative analysis revealed that certain functions in the fast-paced, data-driven environment were better suited for contract roles, while project management aspects aligned with a full-time position.”

“When we looked at the variability of the workload as well as the skill sets required to help grow the database analysis and marketing aspects of the team, it was clear the more ‘rinse and repeat’ aspects were best addressed by contract labor that Landajob could source for us.  We required quality and process-oriented individuals who could scale up to handle significant data loads and scale down during quieter periods,” Warner said.

“In contrast, the project management aspects required consistent process improvement, longitudinal analysis and strong relationships with decision makers outside of marketing, so the FTE role could prosper and apply learnings over a longer term.”

“Landajob was a great partner in this regard and didn’t just help us address staffing efficiently by saving the business wasted recruitment time, but they also saved us operating expenses for quarters to come by getting these roles optimized,” he added.
