two reasons
Quality, unique
profiles in mid-senior
management roles were
hard to find

hunt in International
markets was
cumbersome;
Using job

country was a
big challenge
They were looking for a

and turned to
social recruiting

3 Trained the recruiters
4 Kept candidates engaged
5 Leveraged data and analytics for smart recruiting
