The challenge
The challenge.
The client needed an Azure-experienced SysAdmin to support a three-month cloud migration project. We received the brief on a Monday and delivered a qualified contractor through our partner network by Wednesday, ready to start immediately.
The engagement
How we ran it.
We staffed the search with senior recruiters who already operate in recycling · industrial and the local Munich market. The brief was calibrated in week one with the hiring manager, and we ran a tight structured process with weekly funnel reporting.
Sourcing was outbound-led, with deep market mapping of the qualified pool and direct candidate conversations — not job-board posts. Every shortlisted candidate was qualified against the hiring bar before reaching the client.
