The Problem/Opportunity:
The Client needed to fill a Research and Database Analyst intern position.
- The candidate pool was very limited due to the niche academic background and technical skills required.
- The location of the role made it difficult to attract and retain qualified interns. The location of the internship significantly impacted recruitment efforts, decreasing applicant interest by about 40% compared to similar remote roles.

The process was completed within 3 weeks. Ultimately, the client decided to hire the standout candidate, affirming our effective and persistent search approach.
How Our Solution Created Value for the Client:
The Client was very impressed with the quality and performance of the intern we provided, which led them to entrust us with four permanent roles. After understanding their needs in detail, we submitted over 12 highly qualified candidates, resulting in a successful hire within two (2) months. Our proactive approach ensured that we delivered top-tier talent that met the Client’s specific requirements, strengthening our partnership and their confidence in our services.
