Fueling Rapid Expansion: Elite Talent Acquisition Propelling a Large Agricultural Company’s Accelerated Growth
Overview
This large agricultural company was the outcome of an innovative reverse merger when an already thriving private agricultural company purchased a controlling stake in a publicly listed plant-propagation entity. The merger, combined with strong market conditions, thrust this company into a period of extraordinary growth, scaling to a staff approximately one thousand people. Faced with the pressing need to swiftly bring onboard superior talent, the newly merged company engaged our services. Their goal? A substantial enhancement to their talent acquisition approach and swift procurement of high-caliber professionals to bolster their rapid expansion.
Development of a Plan
Given the urgent requirement to populate their organizational chart while ensuring uninterrupted productivity, this company had identified 50 key roles that needed to be filled immediately. In response to their constrained HR capacity and the inability to develop and execute a robust talent acquisition strategy, we crafted a custom recruitment process tailored specifically to this company’s needs. Furthermore, we introduced our proprietary candidate testing platform to gauge the growth potential of candidates and assess their potential fit within the organization.
We Execute the Plan
With our focus firmly on execution, we provided indispensable support to this company by sourcing talent for over 20 roles, including crucial Vice President and Director level positions. These placements spanned all departments including administration, human resources, cultivation, marketing, sales, and finance. Additionally, we placed numerous individuals in fixed-term contract positions within this company to offer temporary support for pressing operational concerns. In certain instances, we were able to provide this support within a 24-hour notification period.
