The Caledonian Hotel in Newcastle, Jesmond had a brand new kitchen opening in less than a month. They decided to run a CV Locator advert campaign for their most pressing vacancy … a Head Chef. The advert response was strong and after I spoke with the suitable applicants, there was a stand-out candidate the GM wanted to see and was successfully appointed to the role. But it didn’t stop there! The GM also loved the sound of one of the more junior applicants. Following another successful interview, they had even found their Sous Chef!
If the Caledonian had used a traditional Recruitment agency to make those hires, it would have cost north of £10,000.
If they had paid to post their own adverts onto the same job boards we post onto; and paid for the CV Database access we offer as part of the service, it would have cost them £750 before even considering time costs.
Instead; they paid £399, sat back, and waited less than a week to receive their ideal candidates.
