FI Consulting, a firm known for its robust and complex portfolios, was facing a significant challenge in sourcing the right talent for their various roles. The firm required candidates who were not only technically proficient and analytical but also client-centric in their approach. The challenge was further amplified when a candidate for a critical role rescinded their offer just two days before their start date. This left the talent team in a difficult position, having to restart the sourcing process. The firm was also struggling to fill a role for a proposal writer, a position that had remained vacant for four months. The traditional sourcing methods were proving to be time-consuming and inefficient, often failing to deliver the depth and quality of candidates required by the firm.

FI Consulting turned to hireEZ, an AI-powered talent sourcing tool, to address their talent acquisition challenges.
