Grow faster with Proppel.
How we placed a candidate in 4 days
Does your company move fast? If so, you need a partner who can move fast too. Here’s a case study about how we placed a candidate in just 4 days.
The challenge
Everything started with a post from our founder Leandro. In the post, he asked “Are you spending more than $800/mo in graphic design?” and showcased some examples of Performance Graphic Designers we had in our talent pool.
Shortly after, the founder of Y’all, a Performance Marketing Agency from Texas in the US, reached out to us and asked if we could find someone suitable for them.
They couldn’t believe they could hire an exceptional full-time new employee for just $800/mo.
We knew it was possible, so we got started straight away.
What’s a Performance Graphic Designer?
A Performance Graphic Designer is someone who can create outstanding graphic designs, with a focus on advertising. This includes everything from static ads to full landing pages and everything in between.
The solution
We started looking for the perfect candidate, and our recruitment team knew we had a couple of suitable candidates straight away. They were already in our talent pool as we had interviewed them a few days before.
We presented both profiles straight away, the client decided they wanted to interview one of them and gave us some dates and times when they could meet her.
We reached out to the candidates to organize the interview, and once the dates and times were confirmed with both, we put them in touch.
The client then had an interview with the candidate and really liked her. They asked her to do a test project of designing a couple of static ads using raw imagery they sent her, as a second step of the interview process.
The candidate started working on the project straight away and submitted it the next day. The client reviewed the submission and loved it, so they decided to send an offer letter on the same day.
The candidate was super happy with the offer and the match we found for her, and the client was very happy with the candidate we presented, so it was a win-win for everyone involved.
Timeline
👉 Day 1 - The client reaches out to us. We present 2 suitable candidates. The client decides they want to interview one of them and we reach out to the candidate to organize an interview.
👉 Day 2 - We set the interview for the day after and introduce the candidate to the client.
👉 Day 3 - The client interviews the candidate and shares a test project with her.
👉 Day 4 - The candidate submits the finished project. The client reviews it and sends her an offer letter. The candidate accepts the offer.
That’s how we placed a candidate in just 4 days!
Results
👉 In just 4 days, we managed to find and place the perfect candidate for our client.
👉 Our client got an amazing new Performance Graphic Designer with a salary of $800/mo
Hear why our client chose us
I can't recommend Proppel enough. We've worked with Leandro twice already for candidates and are exceptionally happy with whom he found for us.
I initially reached out to Leandro in a state of panic after we had an employee not work out. Our operations were in slight disarray, with every team member scrambling to cover existing client responsibilities. Within three days, Leandro had secured three different candidates for us to interview (out of the many that he vetted). He sent over their resumes, which are all formatted in the same way by Proppel, making it very easy to compare and contrast. From there we selected the ones we wanted to chat with, all three in our case, and proceeded with the interviews. They were all qualified, excellent at English, and seemed like genuinely nice people who would be fun to work with— an often undervalued trait in my experience with other hiring services.
Leandro was a huge help throughout the entire interview process as well, giving his thoughts on which of the candidates were best for what type of specific role. After we selected our favorite, he helped facilitate the final salary (seriously unbeatable value for the quality of work), and we were done!
Finding a media buyer went so well that we immediately engaged Proppel to help us find a designer. That process went even quicker, and we had a full-time designer placed within four days. She's also amazing and already a valuable member of our team.
I can't stress how great of an experience this was. This isn't "be nice in a testimonial" stuff— I am going to use Proppel for all future hires.
