A Leading Consulting Firm’s Partnership with City Personnel

With a two-person HR department comprising a Director and an HR Assistant, the organization lacked the in-house capacity for full-cycle recruiting. To address this challenge, they sought a partnership with an external talent acquisition provider to help them source, vet, and place qualified candidates.
