In short, it's a very tough marketplace out there for people in our space
As an in house recruitment function, you will of probably witnessed this already...
The very best people aren't 'searching' for roles, they're relying on a network and connections to get them into the right businesses
n8 do all of the 'heavy lifting' and are tasked with building extremely strong networks, and recruitment campaigns to ensure you get who you need for your recruitment assignment
Long gone are the days when you're able to just advertise for a marketing or product role, to expect a good return
The roles in this space are notoriously difficult to fill, and typically require a very thorough search process, and exceptional market understanding
n8's sole purpose is to build up a strong enough network to enable our clients to tap into the marketplace without having to rely on advertising response
We're dealing with incredibly busy people, with complex roles, and very little time to 'apply' for positions
Product people in particular are of a highly analytical mindset, and generally less active on social media, approaches need to be backed up with stats and conviction as to why they should consider the move
n8 are focused on being as integrated into the product landscape as possible, to give informed and accurate advice regarding any candidate search
Marketing & Product people are in such high demand, very few of them need to actively apply for roles
By using a specialist agency method, you're able to tap into the dormant market, which is usually where the best candidate base is found
n8 use a vast amount of thought leadership, content and personalised outreach to connect up with those not 'actively searching'
With over 30 years experience in recruitment & search techniques, n8 are trusted to build the most effective outreach campaign for you as a client
Full LinkedIn recruiter profiles, insights from leading subject matter experts and guidance from those having built teams in this space before... gives n8 a headstart in comparison to other more generalist agency solutions
n8 speak with Marketing, Sales and Product people every day... it's all we do and we're very good to getting under the skin of why a move is being considered, and whether there's synergy with another role available
We bet that you've received CVs with very few details, or ambiguity surrounding their current circumstances from other agencies along the way...
n8 conduct full candidate profiling, and will offer up a breakdown and synopsis of simple but critical elements to the candidate search
Why that person is considering a move, motivators, restrictions to skillsets, why your role appeals from a development perspective... along with the usual, salary requirement, location and notice, which you might only just squeeze out of another recruiter
If we can help, we'll tell you...
If we can't, we'll be transparent enough to let you know why that's the case in the current marketplace
We're focused on an effective use of your time as the hiring manager, and our candidate's time in relation to the search credentials
