Facilitating Rapid Growth Through Direct Hire Marketing Roles

Overview

The client is a canine genomics and biotechnology company that provides comprehensive DNA tests.  

Founded in 2015, the client has formed a series of strategic partnerships with health organizations and university researchers with the goal of ending preventable disease for dogs.

The Challenge  

The client charted a course for rapid business growth to expand their customer base and move closer to their goal of ending preventable disease in animals. Central to this effort was the need for marketing and creative personnel to reach a wider audience.

However, the client’s internal HR team possessed little bandwidth to operate at the scale needed to fill these critical positions. The client’s new Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), who had come to the organization by way of a Fortune 20 company, soon sought the support of a creative staffing partner to meet their growth goals.

The Solution

The company’s CMO turned to Planet Interactive to secure the permanent talent necessary to grow their business. An extensive network of candidate contacts, combined with industry knowledge, made us an excellent fit for this engagement.

Due to the client's internal HR constraints, Planet Interactive took a leading role in identifying and screening candidates, only submitting carefully vetted and exceptionally qualified individuals for these positions. Planet Interactive filled 75% of the client’s open, direct hire marketing positions within a 90-day period, covering roles and practice areas like Product Marketing and Growth Strategy.  

The Results

This partnership’s success was based on a high degree of collaboration between the client’s leadership and Planet Interactive. This open line of communication enabled our recruiting team to identify skilled marketing talent capable of realizing the client’s business goals. Filling these key, direct-hire roles has laid the groundwork for future organizational growth.
