FORTUNE 500 COMPANY SELECTS CONTINUITI INTERIM CHANGE MANAGEMENT EXPERT TO LEAD CRITICAL INITIATIVES WITHIN GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN GROUP 

TARGETED RECRUITING: 3 candidates submitted within 2 weeks. 

TIME TO FILL: 23 business days from job order to offer.  

INTERIM NEED: The client, a Fortune 500 company, had several crucial change management initiatives to launch within their global supply chain group.  Since the Director of Human Resources was extremely busy handling other HR initiatives, the decision was made to hire an experienced change management consultant to supplement the current talent and bring these initiatives to fruition. Typically, the client might have turned to a global management consulting firm for such specific skills, but a full-blown team services approach was not necessary for the project, nor would the allotted budget allow for that option.  The perfect candidate would require high-level change management experience within a global supply chain function, gained in both corporate and consulting environments, which included proven competence in designing the all-important communications component

INTERIM SOLUTION: Continuiti tapped into their ample network of interim HR talent and quickly submitted three highly-qualified candidates. Notably, the selected candidate was not initially in Continuiti’s extensive database nor was the job posted externally.  In fact, the right person was located through aggressive, targeted networking.  The candidate’s corporate and consulting change management background perfectly fit the client’s needs.  Additionally, the client’s final cost was substantially lower than using the services of a global management consulting firm due to Continuiti’s targeted service and reasonable, transparent margins.
 

"It’s true that our most frequent placements are for traditional HR needs such as Recruiter, Generalist or Compensation Analyst.   However, Continuiti’s deep network of HR professionals allows us to locate the right talent for other less common roles.  During an intense networking process, a valued consultant already in our database made the perfect referral.  In this case, it also made more sense fiscally for the client to utilize Continuiti to recruit one individual with an ideal background rather than using the much costlier team services approach of a global management consulting firm.  Although this was not a ‘typical’ search for us in terms of skill set, it’s a fine example of how we can leverage our professional network and niche recruiting expertise to capably, quickly and cost-effectively fill a more esoteric position, as long as it’s still related to the HR world."
