How InterSearch Ww members fulfil hiring needs within luxury goods industry

Case study by Cristiana Gollin – Client Partner at Euren InterSearch – Italy and Demet Tahmiscioglu – Partner at Ageo International – InterSearch Turkey.

Client

Our client is an Italian luxury goods manufacturer, based in Rome. The company was founded in the late 1800s, its main profile includes jewelry, watches, perfumes, cosmetics, accessories, and leather goods.

Case

The client needed to hire 8 staff members  (6 Client Advisors and 2 Sales Administrators) for their 2 stores in Istanbul so they contacted Euren, the Italian member of Intersearch. The expectations were to find candidates from the luxury sector with excellent English skills and high standing.

The contract for the searches has been signed between the client and the Italian InterSearch member, after the discussion of the terms.

Euren Intersearch acted as the project manager of the process and collaborated closely with the Turkish consultant.

Project management at a glance

  • Excellent relationship management and maintaining a positive and proactive approach during the difficult process
  • Care and attention to customer needs
  • Sharing information and feedback throughout the process, with quick responses from the Turkish partner, who was in contact with the candidates during the very long and complex selection process
  • 400+ candidates, nearly 200 pre-interviews, and about 60 interviews to find the best fit for each role

Results

Despite the complexity of identifying candidates in line with the client’s expectations, thanks to the in-depth and methodical mapping activity of the industry and the rapid identification of a large pool of candidates, 7 out of the 8 assignments have been closed, the last one is still ongoing.

“I think the key factor to successfully concluding the assignments is related to the strong partnership with Demet during the whole process.

At international assignments, trust is essential, she proved that and was able to handle the entire process with a very high degree of professionalism, understanding, speed and efficiency, despite the demanding profile.”

”The challenging point in this project was to understand all aspects of the client’s need. The rest was the hard work to find the appropriate candidates. We were in interaction with Cristiana during the whole process which enabled us to act rapidly and effectively. One of us focused on the candidates and the other communicated to the customer and I genuinely believe that we did a good job together.“
