The Challenge

After a few misses with another agency, RecorGroup realized they needed to find a local partner to connect them with the talent they were seeking. As a sales and consulting agency where people and relationships are their greatest assets, they had a genuine need to find connection within Treasure Valley to build out the team they'd always envisioned.

RecorGroup had a genuine need to find connection within Treasure Valley in order to build out the team they'd always envisioned to take them to the next level.

"We lacked the time and specialization of what it takes to recruit. Jess was good at talking about her vision of who RNG is, and she was going to approach her company through a high-touch service."

Candidate Spotlight: Jordan Hogan

Before RNG

Jordan Hogan, another RNG candidate, was brought on at RecorGroup three years ago and has proven to be a great asset to the team. Jordan worked in sales and wasn't actively looking for a new role. However, Zoe connected him with RecorGroup and courted him through an interview process.

"He was a value add right away with his knowledge and background. Jordan has been with the company for about a year and a half and is a success story of not only our team but RNG as well." — Bryan Burks

The RNG Difference

Before meeting with RecorGroup, Zoe was able to have a transparent conversation about Jordan's expectations for his next career move. This made accepting an offer with the team exceedingly easy, because his top priority was finding team alignment - which is exactly what Jordan found at RecorGroup.

The Outcome

Hogan was initially hired as a Sales Operations Specialist and brought his expertise with minimal training needed. Since joining the team in 2020, Jordan has been promoted and is now in a pivotal role supporting Recor's clients.

"RecorGroup doesn't have the big corporate culture, but it is very entrepreneurial. Everyone can come to the table with ideas and feel heard." — Jordan Hogan

RNG made the effort to get to know RecorGroup as individuals, match with our initiatives, and find the people that fit into our culture. Every time we give feedback, they narrow down our funnel even more. We have a 'learning together' experience.

The Client Relationship

What RecorGroup found with RNG was significant cultural alignment, which led to understanding RecorGroup's needs on a fundamental level.

RNG's quality over quantity approach separates them from the rest. The team takes the time to find the niche talent that doesn't come through organically.

Candidate Spotlight: Dani Ortega

The Challenge

RecorGroup sets the bar high in their pursuit of quality candidates. They presented RNG with a tough challenge: find someone with specific experience who could hit the ground running within a narrow scope of qualifications and expertise. This required deeper sourcing than typical recruiting efforts to identify candidates with the right specialized background.

"I really connected with Zoe's personality, and she really wanted to know what I wanted out of my career." — Dani Ortega

"Zoe helped me through the interview process and maintained fluid communication. She talked down my nerves, prepared me for meetings, and checked in with me after the interview." — Dani Ortega

The RNG Approach

In RNG's efforts to find someone who could fit the superior culture at RecorGroup, Zoe Shealy found Dani Ortega. Immediately, the two connected and Dani felt like Zoe understood what the right next move would be.

Their conversation naturally led Zoe to introduce Dani to RecorGroup.

The Results

Helped Dani through the process ultimately led to her accepting their offer as a Category Analyst.

Since joining, Dani's been promoted to a Manager position, and her job experience expectations have been exceeded as she's been able to do everything she was promised during onboarding.

Ultimately, the relationship between RecorGroup and RNG has worked well for both organizations. The ability to maintain durable communication has led to success for all.

"I don't think I would have found RecorGroup without RNG's help. RNG impacts other peoples' lives in a big way, and their purpose is huge. Finding a job is stressful, and when you have the right people working through the process with you, it makes things so much better." — Dani Ortega

The Results

Over the course of the three-year partnership, RNG has sourced and placed eight of RecorGroup's 20-person team (40% of their entire staff). Each placement has advanced to take on greater responsibility, with several rising to leadership positions.

The ability to maintain a durable relationship has led to success for all.

"You guys are definitely partners. You take that extra step to free up time for us so that we're not constantly searching job boards for candidates, you find those candidates that have the skills we're looking for."
