What is Campaign Recruitment?
When you’re building a team from scratch, replacing a whole function or hiring against a project deadline, a single retained search isn’t the right tool. Campaign recruitment is. We take on the brief end-to-end – advertising, screening, assessment and shortlisting – so your management time stays focused on running the business, not sifting applications.
When Does it Work Best?
New site openings. Sales team builds. Post-acquisition restructures. Any situation where you need to hire five, ten or twenty people against a fixed timeline. We’ve run campaigns across manufacturing, FMCG and technical sectors for businesses that needed volume without compromising on quality. Fewer briefs. Better outcomes.
How We Run a Campaign
We start with a detailed brief – not just the job spec, but the culture, the manager, the team dynamic and the deal-breakers. From there we build a targeted sourcing strategy, run structured screening and deliver a calibrated shortlist at each stage. You interview people who are ready to be interviewed, not people we’ve just pulled off a database.
Reporting and Transparency
You’ll know where we are at every point. We provide regular pipeline updates, market feedback and drop-out analysis throughout the campaign. If the brief needs adjusting – salary, location, spec – we’ll tell you early, not after three rounds of interviews. That’s what working retained means.
