Issue
A Kansas City–based entrepreneurial investment firm that supports a portfolio of fast-growing ventures sought to create a new in-person role to strengthen operational efficiency and executive coordination. The local position combined the strategic oversight of a chief of staff with the administrative precision of an executive assistant — a dual nature that created unique hiring challenges. The fully in-person aspect of the position also complicated the task of attracting candidates amid an increasingly hybrid and virtual work landscape. In search of a professional who could balance strategic thinking with daily execution, the firm turned to CBIZ Talent Solutions.
Solution
Our team of talent professionals conducted a contingent search focused on candidates from small to midsize corporations who demonstrated success supporting executive leadership in dynamic environments. Sourcing channels included LinkedIn, ZoomInfo, referrals, and targeted email outreach.
- 319 qualified profiles were identified.
- 180 candidates were directly contacted.
- 23 candidates participated in initial phone screenings.
- 13 candidates advanced to client review.
- 4 candidates were selected for formal interviews.
Outcome
The partnership with CBIZ resulted in substantial improvements:
- CBIZ Talent Solutions successfully placed a highly experienced administrative leader with more than 25 years of cross-industry experience.
- The placement remains in the role and continues to perform at a high level.
- The engagement was expanded to include recruitment for senior leadership positions within other portfolio entities.
