A full-stack cloud-native tech consulting business specializing in digital transformation with a focus on delivering real value within cloud and SAP solutions. The client is a daughter company to a larger brand and faced challenges filling a niche Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), role crucial for business growth. ↴

Project Scope

The challenge was to find a German-speaking PLM specialist with over 5 years of experience, actively engaged in the current market.

The client required an on-site, hands-on PLM specialist to take on new projects, necessitating unique skills not readily available in the market.

The Solution

Understanding the rarity of the required skill set, Uniting Enterprise leveraged its immediate network to identify potential candidates.

Facing difficulty, they utilized their knowledge of referrals and generated leads with PLM experience.

Two candidates were initially sourced, but recognizing the importance of a thorough search, the team headhunted a passive PLM specialist open to exploring new opportunities. This specialist ultimately proved to be the ideal fit and was successfully placed.

Compatibility

The qualification process involved assessing cultural and professional compatibility with the business.

Experience

We conducted in-depth discussions to establish the candidate's experience.

Ambitions

We ensured the candidate's ambitions were aligned with what the client had to offer.

Strategy

Advising the client on the need for streamlined and efficient processes to attract and secure top talent, the team prepared the client for a successful recruitment strategy.

Results

Out of the three candidates presented to the client, all three progressed to the final interview stage, indicating the success of sourcing qualified talent.

One candidate was successfully placed in this niche PLM role. This outcome showcased the effectiveness of the consulting firm's approach in overcoming the challenges of finding a specialized professional in a competitive market.

Post-Placement Strategy

Having demonstrated ability to meet the client's specific needs, Uniting Enterprise advised the client to scale its logistics team. The successful placement served as a proof point for capabilities and laid the foundation for expanding the team to meet the demands of new projects, particularly those initiated by the parent company.
