In July, our long-term meal-kit preparation and delivery client reached out for help filling a role different than the typical light industrial and distribution jobs we handle for them.

The request? A temporary director of marketing, to cover for an employee’s short leave of absence.

The team who handled their usual day-to-day staffing brought in our Creative & Marketing team to help.

These specialized recruiters combine niche hiring activities and deep industry roots to deliver outstanding professionals quickly and effectively. Adecco's Creative & Marketing team has in-depth staffing experience in many areas, including design, digital marketing, product development, and merchandizing.

After a quick intake call to understand their needs and timeline, the Creative & Marketing team surveyed Adecco’s talent pipeline, interviewed potential fits – and sent three candidates to our client for two to three rounds of interviews. The role was filled in less than two weeks.

CRM/Email marketers: Start: Intake meeting, 2 Days later: Candidates sent to client, 8 Days from start: Offer made

Within the next four months, our client sent us five more roles, including an HR administrator, email marketers and developers, and a junior recipe developer. For many of those roles, we tapped into our existing talent roster, but we also utilized LinkedIn to source their more industry-specific needs.

6 niche positions with a  time-to-fill of 7–8 business days  

Adecco continues to work with our client on its operations and corporate staffing, with many of our professional associates’ contracts extended.
