When Volume Becomes a Hiring Problem
More applications do not always mean better results. A client recently approached me after their previous recruitment process for a Business Analyst took months longer than planned. Over 300 CVs for that role had come in, but they were no closer to making a hire.
The flood of applications left the internal talent team and hiring manager overwhelmed. Despite their best efforts, the vacancy remained open and critical business projects were delayed. The hiring manager vowed not to go through that process again.
From 300 CVs to 1 Hire in 15 Days
When they engaged with NRG to fill a Data Analyst role, the focus shifted. Rather than casting the net wide again, we applied a targeted approach. I shortlisted just four candidates, each carefully selected based on their Data experience, cultural fit, and immediate availability.All four were interviewed:
* Two progressed to the final stage.
* An offer was made and accepted.
* The entire process was completed in just 15 days.
This outcome shows what can be achieved when precision replaces volume.
The Value of Specialised Data and ERP Recruitment
Recruiting for Data and ERP roles is rarely straightforward. Whether it’s SAP, Oracle, Power BI, or SQL-based systems, the right candidate needs more than technical skill. They must also understand your business needs, work well with your existing teams, and hit the ground running.
At NRG, we specialise in this space. We don’t rely on active job seekers alone. Through our established networks, we engage with passive talent, professionals who are not actively applying but are open to the right opportunity.
Cutting Through the Noise to Find the Right Fit
Rather than drowning in CVs, our clients benefit from a streamlined and strategic recruitment process. We invest time upfront to understand your requirements, challenges, and company culture. This means we only present candidates who are aligned with your goals and capable of adding real value.
Whether you're looking for a Data Analyst, Data Scientist, or ERP Administrator, we help you avoid the delays and guesswork that come with reactive hiring.
Data and ERP Talent That Delivers Impact
Hiring in the Data and ERP space is competitive. Time lost reviewing irrelevant CVs is time your competitors are spending onboarding the right people. By working with a recruitment partner who understands the tech landscape, you gain faster access to the right talent and reduce the risk of a poor hire. This isn’t only done through our networks, but it’s also done by helping you define your recruitment process.
If your current process feels like a numbers game with no result, it may be time to try something different.
Because when you start with the right candidates, everything else falls into place.
