Challenges Faced During This Search
Unique candidate requirements in a geographic location where the talent pool is slim
Although competitive salaries are offered by our client but not as lucrative as hiring companies located in “High Tech and Semi Conductor industries also pursuing the same talent pool offering 25/30 percent salaries above normal market rate
Gen-Y and younger groups no longer have the desire to work in conditions required of a Service Manager hence the slim talent pool
Transformation element to this role - changes needed to be made by the successful candidate to our clients service department , not a popular role for candidates but super essential to our clients business!
Finding a candidate that has the right blend of technical ability but also leadership and communication talent to command the respect of the team they will manage (an already established and experienced team)
Our client is a successful global firm but still quite small in the targeted geographic location
International reporting line so English ability is essential
Stable CVs only accepted - for example at least 4 plus years with current and previous employers
Literally impossible for our clients in-house recruiters or contingency recruiters to source candidates for an interview by using there databases or Jos boards - candidate CVs previously presented were too far away from prerequisite expectations and required personalities
