216 Roles Filled in 9 Months: The Impact of Offshore Recruitment Support in UK Real Estate

Have you ever faced recruitment challenges that seemed insurmountable? Well, a leading global player in real estate property management recently found itself in just that predicament. As they aimed to expand their market presence, they discovered that their recruitment process was not quite up to the task. Let’s dive into the details.

What Were the Business Challenges?

First off, the client’s internal recruitment process lacked structure and efficiency. Can you imagine how frustrating it must have been for their team to experience delays in hiring key roles? This inefficiency not only held up crucial positions but also affected their overall operations.

Then there was the communication gap. With a decentralised operational structure, decision-making became a bottleneck. How could they engage with potential candidates effectively when communication was stifled?

To make matters worse, this ambitious firm was on a growth trajectory. They needed to scale their recruitment efforts without blowing the budget. But as hiring costs soared above target, it raised concerns about profitability. Sound familiar?

How Did QX Step In?

First, we took a good look at their sourcing process. We recognised that a complete overhaul was needed. By streamlining their recruitment methodology, we improved candidate identification and engagement. Doesn’t it feel good to have a clear path forward?

Next, we boosted their sourcing services capacity. By restructuring their talent pool management, we ensured a steady flow of quality candidates. How crucial do you think that was for filling those urgent roles?

And let’s not forget about cost optimisation. With the help of offshore recruitment services, we rebalanced their budget. Imagine being able to reduce hiring costs by 35% while still maintaining high-quality standards. That’s a win-win, isn’t it?

What Were the Key Achievements?

So, what did we achieve together?

1. 216 Hires in 9 Months: Since January 2024, we filled 216 roles, addressing urgent hiring needs swiftly. How impressive is that?
2. 95%+ Job Closure Rate: With over 95% of assigned jobs closed and a 25% reduction in open vacancies, efficiency was notably enhanced. Who doesn’t want that?
3. 30% Recruitment Cost Savings: By optimising their budget, we achieved significant savings without compromising on quality. Isn’t it refreshing to see cost reductions that don’t sacrifice standards?
4. 50% Jobs Closed in 1 Month: Half of all assigned roles, including technical positions, were closed within just a month. Doesn’t that showcase our ability to respond rapidly?

What Can We Learn?

Adapting and optimising processes can be game-changing. By tackling the challenges faced by our client in the UK real estate sector, we not only filled critical roles but also set the stage for sustainable growth. So, what’s the takeaway here?
