14. PUTTING THEORY INTO PRACTICE
SCENARIO
Yard Digital approached us in 2012 as they were in the middle of a massive growth spurt and required a
solid recruitment partner to assist them grow their technical and sales team so they could concentrate on
their core activities. Together we agreed to a fully managed exclusive recruitment solution that took the strain
off of Yard Digital and let us concentrate on finding them the best talent on the market.
CHALLENGES WE OVERCAME
A LARGE AMOUNT OF SPECULATIVE CVS AND CALLS FROM RECRUITMENT
AGENCIES
Developed a career microsite funnelling all spec CV and calls to ourselves
Redirected career enquiries from Yard Digital’s website to ours
SHORTAGE OF SKILLED PROFESSIONALS IN SOUTH WALES
Leveraged the social networks used by IT professionals to source high calibre
candidates
Utilised SHL an online skill testing to qualify candidates before submitting to client
BUSINESS MISUNDERSTOOD BY NON IT PROFESSIONALS
Used client case studies to educated candidate apply for non IT vacancies
Used the positive culture of the business as a key selling point

15. PUTTING THEORY INTO PRACTICE
THE RESULT
The partnership between Yolk and Yard Digital has been beneficial to both parties. The microsite was launched within a month of
initial discussion and it has allowed Yard Digital to extend their brand reach and attract new candidates while reducing the time
invested in recruitment. Yard Digital continues to grow both their technical and nontechnical teams and have won large accounts
successfully establishing them within this new industry.
WHAT THE CLIENT SAID
“I just wanted to thank you and the team at Yolk Recruitment for the fantastic
job that you do. Since our initial meeting you took the time to understand our
business and devised a package that was tailored to our needs and made our lives
easier. We can now concentrate on growing our business confident in letting Yolk
represent our brand to jobseekers in a professional manner inline with our values.
Looking forward to a successful partnership.”
Paul Newbury, Director Yard Digital
