Manager Product Planning

Overview

Challenge

The primary challenge was the requirement for a highly specialized industry expert, a search compounded by the involvement of several firms that had yet to identify a suitable candidate. The role was critical for the company’s future product lineup and strategic market positioning, necessitating a candidate with exceptional skills, industry insight, and the ability to navigate the complex Indian automotive landscape.

Result

The breakthrough in the recruitment process came when a Corporate Associates consultant reconnected with an old colleague who possessed the exact expertise and experience the client sought. This serendipitous encounter, combined with the consultant’s prior relationship with the candidate, facilitated a smooth and swift closure of the position. This instance underscored the importance of personal networks and professional connections in the recruitment process, particularly for roles requiring highly specific industry expertise.

Unique Approach

The successful recruitment strategy was anchored in the extensive and diverse network of Corporate Associates. By leveraging personal connections and industry contacts, the firm was able to identify and engage a candidate who was not on the radar of other search firms. This approach highlighted the value of a well-connected network and the efficacy of tapping into personal and professional relationships to identify and secure top-tier talent, especially for high-stakes positions requiring deep industry knowledge and expertise.
