The Challenge:
A leading construction company in Indianapolis faced significant hiring challenges in a competitive market. They needed to fill critical roles, including:
- HR Coordinator
- Project Accountant
- Preconstruction Manager
- Site Manager
- Leasing Consultant
The construction company found that traditional methods, such as LinkedIn Recruiter and contingency search firms, were expensive and did not scale. They needed a partner who understood the nuances of the construction industry and could deliver high-quality candidates efficiently. The location of some roles added to the difficulty.
Field of Talent's RaaS Solution:
Field of Talent provided the client with its Recruitment as a Service (RaaS) strategy focused on being the in-sourced recruitment team, branding as the client, and hiring for quality, while building a pipeline or database of talent for future roles. The company name is confidential because we are branding as this client, plus providing strategic candidate sourcing under Field of Talent.
- Cost-Effectiveness: We’ve saved the client approximately $71,000 versus what they would’ve spent in backfilling the recruitment function they used to have, no longer needing their LinkedIn Recruiter seat plus job posting, and saving them from contingency headhunter fees.
- Applicant Engagement Strategy: We utilized industry-specific job boards via a programmatic (Acquire ROI) connected with Daxtra Engage, for immediate engagement with applicants
- Targeted Sourcing – Starting with a deep understanding of each role, we developed a sourcing strategy using industry-leading AI Technologies to find and connect with candidates not actively on the job market.
- Data-Driven: We’ve provided the client with regular performance data, demonstrating the value of our services.
- Flexibility: Depending on our clients’ sales pipeline and growth plans, we allow for flexibility in moving up or down in our pricing model with 30 days’ notice.
- Long-term Partnership & Vision: We’ve positioned ourselves not just as a vendor, but as a long-term partner invested in the client’s success.
Since starting with this client in 2024, Field of Talent has filled the roles above. They continue to help them and others in the construction industry hire and build talent pipelines for key positions like Owner’s Representatives, Site Managers, Superintendents, Project Managers, and Project Engineers, so they can respond faster to their clients’ needs and win new projects.
