The Brief
After successfully placing a key manager at a leading London food manufacturer, Tiro was approached by the General Manager of the company’s flagship Manchester site to address an urgent hiring need. The issue? The Senior Engineering Manager recently hired to manage the site failed his probation, leaving a large team without a leader.
The Challenge
Before approaching Tiro, the business had already used its internal recruitment team to advertise, and when that failed, they engaged a recruitment agency. However, after eight unsuccessful interviews, the General Manager was frantic.
It was clear there wasn’t any time to wait for the perfect person to apply to a company advert. This assignment needed a proactive approach, i.e., mapping the market and confidentially approaching key individuals.
Tiro’s Solution
As with all assignments, we took a detailed brief of the position, understanding not just the essential required skills and experience, but also the team culture, company environment and longer term opportunities for progression and development. This allowed us to effectively “sell” the position to experienced managers who weren’t actively looking for a career move but could be tempted by the opportunity.
Outcome
Tiro provided support, expert advice, and industry knowledge to calm the GM, who was under pressure to find the right person ASAP. Six weeks from Tiro taking the assignment, an offer was made and accepted.
