Need

Recruit a Human Resources Director for a non-profit with no current HR personnel in a highly competitive market dominated by the oil and gas industry. The organization’s recruiting efforts had been unsuccessful due to challenges such as:

•  Lack of recruiting experience
• Overall capacity
• Limited budget
• Poor screening process

Solution

AAG created a recruiting strategy around market analysis data and the company’s mission, values, and unique services they provided to the area. Considering the industry-influenced market and limited budget, AAG implemented an aggressive sourcing and screening process that focused on the values and long-term professional goals of the candidates in addition to the organization’s needs to ensure success for both.

Results

The AAG team screened, interviewed, and evaluated the top twenty-five candidates using a PXT Select assessment, then presented four finalists to the client for consideration. After reviewing the short list of finalists, the non-profit extended an offer to their preferred candidate and received an acceptance within two weeks. The new HR Director was a successful match and perfect fit with the non-profit’s company culture.
