Case Study: Data Analyst Recruitment Powers Growth

Client: VAS Valuation Group
Sector: Real Estate
Service Provided: Permanent Recruitment
Background
VAS Valuation Group had entered a significant growth phase, increasing its reliance on data-driven insights to inform business decisions. To support this strategy, the business identified the need to hire a dedicated Data Analyst to enhance its capability in monitoring and interpreting key operational and market trends.
The Challenge
Despite recognising the importance of the role, VAS Valuation Group faced difficulties in securing the right talent. Without an in-house recruitment specialist focused on the tech market, they encountered challenges in filtering through unsuitable applications and lacked the time and tools to effectively source quality candidates. Previous recruitment efforts had proven inefficient, and the business needed a specialist partner who understood the nuances of the tech talent landscape.
Talent Strategy & Advisory
While the client had a clear understanding of the role and its place in the organisation, NRG provided added value by sharing benchmarking insights around salary expectations and advising on best practices for the interview process. This support helped streamline decision-making and align candidate expectations with business needs.
Search & Selection
NRG launched a targeted and efficient search strategy, leveraging its specialist knowledge of the tech recruitment market to quickly identify suitable candidates. The focus was on quality over quantity, ensuring the client only reviewed strong contenders aligned with the brief.
Candidate Experience & Engagement
Throughout the recruitment process, consultant David Somerville maintained constant communication with candidates via calls and emails. This high-touch approach ensured an excellent experience for all parties involved and upheld the client’s employer brand values.
Results
The client received a curated shortlist of four high-quality candidates, eliminating the need to wade through hundreds of unsuitable CVs. This allowed the hiring manager to focus their time and energy on selecting the right individual rather than managing an inefficient recruitment process.
“David helped by making the recruitment process very efficient from my perspective. I could focus on reviewing quality candidates and not having to spend hours trawling through unsuitable applications.” — Hiring Manager, VAS Valuation Group
