Introduction
In today's competitive job market, many companies face difficulties in talent acquisition, particularly in attracting new graduates. Conexio Corporation, a prominent mobile trading company, recently showcased how they overcame challenges related to manpower shortages by adopting the recruitment services provided by R09 Inc.
Background
As the new graduate hiring landscape has grown increasingly challenging, companies must focus on nurturing their candidates to prevent dropouts during the selection process. Conexio found itself in need of an improved strategy to bolster its recruitment efforts, especially for sales positions. Despite recognizing the potential benefits of proactive scouting, a lack of manpower made it challenging to maintain consistent communication with prospective candidates.
Additionally, the company's knowledge base regarding scouting and recruitment operations was limited, making it essential to construct a robust operational framework that could ensure effective candidate engagement along with thorough follow-ups.
Support Provided by R09
R09, a recruitment support company based in Tokyo, stepped in to assist Conexio starting in 2022. They offered key services including recruitment scouting and schedule coordination. R09's experts worked closely with Conexio’s HR team, providing hands-on support, ranging from sending out 100 to 300 scouting messages monthly to refining communication strategies and developing operational guidelines. This approach empowered even those without prior HR experience to engage effectively with candidates.
Ultimately, R09's guidance enabled Conexio to maintain stable recruitment operations even following unexpected staff changes, allowing HR professionals to dedicate more time to their core responsibilities.
Positive Outcomes and Testimonials
Post-implementation, Conexio reported a significant reduction in the workload related to scouting activities. This allowed the HR team to focus more on strengthening connections with candidates. Previously, the team had limited experience in HR processes, often uncertain about what to prioritize. R09's training and support brought clarity to their operations. They reported that tailored scouting messages led to smoother communications with candidates, drastically reducing issues such as last-minute cancellations or unresponsiveness.
The decrease in manpower spent on scouting enabled Conexio to dedicate more resources to candidate engagement initiatives, including panel discussions with senior employees and store visits for prospective hires. The team highlighted that having more time to genuinely connect with candidates and build trust was one of the most significant outcomes.
For companies like Conexio, which hires around 300 people annually, the uninterrupted transfer of knowledge and maintained quality in scouting processes provided by R09 represents immense value. The collaboration has established a seamless recruitment process, ensuring that the company continues to thrive in talent acquisition regardless of internal staffing changes.
