Our team is flexible, responsive and reliable.  So what does this mean?  Frequently clients have initiatives that require varying levels of support.  The following is an example of how we supported a pharmaceutical company in four different ways in the last year:  

1.  Virtual Contract Talent Acquisition Staff Support

For more than a year one of our exceptional recruiters has been under contract with this client.  Lynn Gargallo, a Grapevine Group employee, provides weekly virtual support for the Senior Manager of Employment.  In addition to the duties she performs for the Manager, Lynn also directs the recruiting efforts of our Grapevine Group team members.  

2.  Screening Support for a Sales Force Expansion

The client intended on filling a large portion of the new positions using online postings and their internal ATS. They needed experienced recruiters to screen, qualify, and coordinate activities with the Regional Business Unit Managers.  Skilled Grapevine Group recruiters performed the screening and administration for the sales force expansion.

3.  Sourcing for Critical Markets

The client identified several markets where additional sourcing resources would be required to attract passive and actively passive candidates for their sales positions.   In those markets Grapevine Group provided sourcing resources (industry specific databases and the Grapevine Group proprietary database), tools (Airs Sourcepoint) and professionals who know how to identify and deliver top talent eliminating the need for the company to add the expense burden of additional resources.   

4.  Contingency Search

Prior to the launch of the sales force expansion the client needed to fill an executive level position.  In December 2008, Grapevine placed the Director of Training, based in New Jersey.  

Upon project completion of the sales force expansion Grapevine Group left the client with a robust candidate database for their future needs and top talent in their new sales positions.  Lynn, our virtual recruiter continues to provide support for the Senior Manager of Employment’s ongoing needs.   

Here is what the Senior Manager of Employment has to say about Lynn, her Grapevine Group account manager:  

“Lynn does an incredible job for us. She is extremely educated and informed about our company, she is loyal and is able to very precisely and effectively communicate our culture to candidates and many times, the reason candidates accept our open position instead of another offer, is because of Lynn.   She is a viable part of our recruiting team and we want to use her services for other jobs (outside sales) and to do some additional projects for HR.  Please don’t ever take her away from us!!!”
