Case Study: Dual-Location Recruitment of Salesforce Consultants for a Leading Fintech Company
Introduction
Our recruitment agency faced the challenging task of simultaneously hiring Salesforce consultants for a massive fintech company, with roles to be filled in two distinct locations. The project was designed to bolster the client’s capabilities in customer relationship management and financial service integration across their international offices.
Challenge
The primary challenge was to manage the recruitment process across two different geographic locations, each with its unique labor market conditions and professional talent pool. The objective was not only to find suitable candidates but also to maintain a balanced, high-quality recruitment drive in both locations, ensuring equity in talent and expertise to support the fintech company’s cohesive growth strategy.
Solution

We began with a detailed analysis of the local markets and the specific needs of the fintech company in each location. This helped in understanding the skill sets available locally and the challenges specific to each market.
Synchronized Recruitment Process
Our approach involved synchronized steps across both locations:
Localized Job Advertisements: Tailored to attract the right talent in each market while highlighting the fintech company’s global reach and innovative projects.
Centralized Assessment Criteria: To ensure consistency, all candidates underwent the same rigorous technical and soft skill assessments, tailored to the specifics of Salesforce consulting within the fintech industry.
Virtual and On-site Interviews: Depending on the local COVID-19 guidelines, we conducted both virtual and on-site interviews to accommodate candidate preferences and health safety standards. Balancing Act To ensure balance in hiring quality and expertise, we implemented several strategies:
Shared Talent Pool: Candidates were considered for roles in both locations, allowing for flexibility and a broader selection for the client.
Regular Strategy Reviews: Continuous communication between our recruitment teams in both locations ensured that strategies were aligned and effective.
Feedback Loop: Ongoing feedback from the fintech company’s HR and technical leads ensured that the recruitment process was tailored continuously to meet evolving needs. ImplementationRecruitment efforts were coordinated through our central office while being executed locally to leverage regional expertise.

Community Engagement: Participating in local tech meetups and seminars to attract Salesforce professionals.

Competitive Offerings: Ensuring attractive compensation and benefits packages that were competitive within each local market but equitable across locations.
