Position Filled: Data Analyst
Recruitment Partner: Leamar
Key Result: 100% of candidates presented were shortlisted, filling the role within OnLoop’s tight hiring window.
Client Challenge: Efficiently Sourcing High-Quality Talent in a Time-Constrained Market
OnLoop, a dynamic company based in Singapore, needed a high-performing Data Analyst to complement their data team. However, they encountered significant challenges:
- Overwhelming Applicant Volume: With only 10% of applicants meeting the required skill level, OnLoop’s hiring pipeline was bogged down. This caused the recruitment process to take a lot of time without yielding effective results, which had a significant impact on the project’s timeline.
- Limited Time: Due to time constraints, OnLoop struggled to conduct in-depth reviews on a large volume of applicants. Inadequate candidate evaluation increases the risk of making the wrong hiring decisions, which could mean bringing in people who aren’t qualified or don’t fit the company culture. This can lead to lower productivity, higher turnover rates, and extra costs for rehiring or retraining employees.
