THE CHALLENGE

Wanting to expand their team, the boutique investment manager needed candidates who could fulfil the necessary technical skills and fit in with the close-knit team. Without a local HR department, Real I.S. Australia outsourced their recruitment. However, given the niche market, Real I.S. required specialised recruiters who had the industry knowledge and experience to find the perfect candidate. Additionally, being a German institution, some roles had a bilingual requirement, which further narrowed the tight talent pool.

OUR SOLUTION

After receiving a recommendation from a long-term partner at Polyglot,  Real I.S. enlisted Polyglot’s talent acquisition team to source appropriate candidates that could fulfil the position requirements. As such, Polyglot Group sourced and carefully screened candidates, paying attention to their experience, the required skill set, and, most importantly, company fit, in accordance with Real I.S clear specifications.

 

 

“Compared to other recruiting companies, we feel we are treated well at Polyglot…”

Working in line with our values of human-centricity, we fostered a close relationship with our client, Real I.S. Australia, and our candidates. This helped us find candidates that not only fulfilled the requirements but were also complementary to the tight-knit team. To further ensure a good fit, Polyglot Group followed up multiple times with Real I.S. Australia and the candidate after the placement.
