Technology Case Study
Services: OnRecruit®
Situation
A Midwest-based e-commerce company with a global customer base faced challenges filling critical technical and leadership roles, including UX Designers, Data Scientists, Engineers, Developers, Agile PMs, and key leadership positions such as Director of Infrastructure and Security. Despite competitive compensation and a strong brand, the tight talent market and inefficient hiring processes limited their ability to secure top-tier talent, which hindered their operational growth and scalability.
Solution
After conducting an in-depth analysis of the company’s hiring challenges and processes, Skywalk Group (SWG) partnered with the client to create a strategic plan to address their recruitment needs. Leveraging our OnRecruit® service, SWG implemented a multi-faceted approach tailored to the client's needs. We focused on sourcing passive candidates through targeted outreach strategies and personalized engagement techniques.

This robust pipeline allowed the client to fill multiple high-priority roles, with 80% of hires coming from passively sourced talent. The average salary for these placements exceeded $130,000 per year, reflecting the caliber of professionals secured. Additionally, SWG achieved an average percentage-to-hire rate of 9.2%, demonstrating exceptional efficiency in identifying and onboarding the right candidates. By closing these critical talent gaps, the client was able to strengthen their technical and leadership teams, enabling them to drive innovation and expand their global reach.
