The challenges Komma faced

Komma, a dynamic and expanding company, specializes in providing innovative solutions within their niche market. Known for their forward-thinking approach and strong company culture, Komma values team cohesion and a shared sense of passion among their employees.

Their growth has driven the need for a junior sales professional who not only brings relevant experience but also aligns with their energetic and collaborative environment. However, their location in Leende, a small village, made it challenging to attract candidates. Despite several recruitment attempts, Komma struggled to find someone with the right balance of sales experience and cultural fit, particularly for a junior role that still required some level of expertise in cold sales.

Strategies implemented

To help Komma find the right candidate, we implemented a targeted and comprehensive recruitment strategy that included headhunting, job marketing, and strategic use of job boards. We started by running tailored job ads specifically designed to attract candidates looking for sales roles, even in niche locations like Leende, ensuring that our message reached the right audience.

In addition to this, we actively engaged in headhunting within our network, reaching out to candidates who fit the role’s specific criteria, including experience in (cold) sales. To further expand our reach, we posted the job on multiple relevant job boards, ensuring that a wide range of potential candidates could see and apply for the position.

This multi-pronged approach allowed us to overcome the challenges of finding qualified candidates in a small town and efficiently meet Komma’s specific hiring needs.

After the interviews, Komma decided to move forward with Leike, who stood out as the perfect fit. In the fourth week, Leike received and accepted a formal offer, successfully completing the hiring process in just one month.

The new situation

Let's do this

The collaboration between Komma and our team resulted in a quick and successful hire, solving a challenge that had persisted for months. Leike quickly integrated into the team, bringing both the energy and sales experience that Komma was looking for. Komma was thrilled with the efficiency of the process, especially given the difficulties they had faced in attracting the right talent on their own.

This case demonstrates the power of a targeted recruitment approach, even in challenging circumstances like a niche location or specialized role requirements.
