CHALLENGE

We partnered with multiple business lines within the IPG group of companies including Media Brands, Initiative, Universal McCann, Reprise, Hill Holliday, Mullen Lowe, FCB, Huge, R/GA, Momentum Worldwide, Orion Worldwide, and IPG Media Lab who would have varying needs across each business. Ranging from making new hires for new business wins, adding staff to a growing team, or hiring new functional leaders.

With each hiring team and HR/Talent leader that we’ve partnered with we’ve setup a crisp process to ensure we would find and hire the best people regardless of job function or level (Manager, Director or VP).

ACTION

For each role (over 150 in total) we set a clear, transparent and accountable process:

Week 1 we start to put together the talent map and begin to build the candidate pipeline
Week 2 we setup interviews with the hiring manager
Week 3 would be 2nd, 3rd and final rounds interviews with the team
Week 4 we would complete interviews and/or have hired the best person for the open role

RESULT

Engro Partners found hundreds of ideal candidates and helped IPG’s companies (Media Brands, Initiative, Universal McCann, Reprise, Hill Holliday, Mullen Lowe, FCB, Huge, R/GA, Momentum Worldwide, Orion Worldwide, and IPG Media Lab) hire over 150 high-performing leaders and contributors.
