Mellon

“I’ve worked on the agency side and the corporate side, and I’ve always been a believer that one of the biggest challenges to recruiting is sourcing candidates,” Manager of Recruiting Operations

Sourcing “Horsepower”

“Sometimes you need a lot more horsepower than you have in-house. No matter how good a recruiter is, they’re going to need more resources, more networks, more synergies, more contacts. You need more people banging the phones and shaking the trees if you may. JCSI has the ability to identify and present quality candidates. They’re process is set up in a way that they can do things that we can’t do ourselves.“

JCSI vs. Agencies

“JCSI can get very close to our business. That’s the challenge of working with agencies, it takes them so long to really understand our business. With hiring managers especially, but with recruiters as well, we want to be working with someone that we feel really understands our businesses, our needs, the culture, and the organization as a whole. By engaging JCSI, they’re with us for the long haul, and they can come in-house and really get a good understanding of all those things, versus someone coming in, working on one assignment, getting lucky, and you may not work with them again.”

JCSI Fee Structure

“Having worked in the agency business and having worked with lots of agencies that retain a contingency, I believe that the hourly fee really keeps JCSI focused, accountable, and keeps them engaged. If there’s a contingency or a success fee, sometimes agencies aren’t as bought into the process, so I think JCSI’s process really works well for us. To me, it’s money well spent.”

Results

“In general, I think we got 27 hires to date from JCSI. That’s pretty significant. In terms of the cost-per-hire, it was very favorable. It was definitely more favorable than engaging more expensive resources, like an agency, or buying more things like job boards that have a high up-front cost with no guarantees. In terms of return on investment, I’ve always believed it’s a good one. We saw results. We saw candidates, we saw hires, and good quality operational support. We had a good sense of how they were going about the process of finding candidates.“

“I would definitely choose JCSI again, in another line of business in the Mellon organization. I’m a firm believer in the services JCSI provides. Having spent many years in recruiting, one of the biggest challenges is identifying quality candidates. JCSI really supports that need and provides things that we’re not able to provide in house.”
