SITUATION:
An association serving healthcare professionals identified the need to expand its lean, high‑performing team by adding a new role responsible for both new membership acquisition and ongoing member relations. The position was an important part of the organization’s growth strategy, but the CEO had limited capacity to manage a full recruitment process while also serving as the hiring manager.
They engaged Exude HC to develop the job description, determine effective posting channels, screen applicants, and curate a slate of qualified candidates for interview.
SOLUTION:
Exude Human Capital assigned a dedicated recruiter who partnered closely with the CEO to understand the role, define the ideal candidate profile, and develop a targeted sourcing strategy.
Exude created the job description and posting, identified appropriate recruiting channels and professional networks, reviewed applications, conducted initial phone screens, and evaluated candidates against the agreed-upon criteria.
The recruiter also managed communication throughout the process, creating a professional and positive candidate experience while keeping the CEO focused on interviewing the most qualified candidates.
Within 10 weeks, Exude presented a curated slate that advanced two finalists to the final interview stage. The organization extended an offer, which was accepted.
RESULTS:
Exude helped the organization complete a critical search in just 10 weeks while significantly reducing the time and effort required from the CEO.
The structured sourcing and screening process delivered a strong pool of candidates aligned with both the technical and relationship-building demands of the role. The new team member is now contributing to membership growth and deeper member engagement.
The partnership also earned strong feedback from both the client and candidates, with Exude’s responsiveness, professionalism, and care throughout the process standing out as a key part of the experience.
