CASE STUDY

Crafting memorable sales experiences in healthcare recruitment

From cold calls to warm relationships: A experience-led transformation

Project Overview

A healthcare firm partnered with MicroAgility to:

Reinvent their client engagement strategy to drive growth and build lasting partnerships

Our client is a specialized healthcare recruitment firm operating in a highly competitive market.

They aim to connect healthcare organizations with top talent, focusing on building long-term relationships. Their goal is to stand out in a crowded field by providing exceptional value and experiences to both clients and candidates.

The stats of the firm

100+ Healthcare Positions Filled Yearly

200+ Healthcare Organizations in Their Network

30% Year-Over-Year Growth Target

THE Fact

A 2023 survey found 94% of clients value firms with a single contact and a streamlined hiring process.

The Core Problem We were tasked with

The problem:

The recruitment firm struggled to stand out and grow in a market with interchangeable services.

  1. Their digital presence failed to effectively communicate their unique value proposition to potential clients.
  2. Potential clients felt bombarded by generic pitches, yearning for insights that spoke to their specific needs.
  3. The lack of tangible, value-added resources made it difficult to build trust and credibility with prospective clients.
  4. Inefficient internal processes hindered the sales team's ability to provide personalized, timely responses to client inquiries.

Key Stats

Additional challenges to overcome

01

Balancing the need for personalized experiences with the efficiency required in high-volume recruitment.

02

Creating valuable content that resonates with diverse healthcare roles and specialties.

03

Empowering the sales team with tools that felt natural and enhanced their human skills rather than replace them.

04

Measuring the impact of experience design improvements on actual sales and client relationships.

In a nutshell

The problem was twofold

The firm needed a holistic revamp to stand out, the recruitment firm needed to transform every touchpoint of their client experience, from digital presence to personal interactions.

Implementing the Solution

The solution:

We reimagined their digital presence, turning their website into a content hub that answered questions before they were asked.

The website showcased video based client testimonials. These testimonials served as a larger initiative of gathering insights from executives for future generations. 

Our team created a comprehensive 2024 Salary Guide, offering valuable insights into healthcare employment trends and compensation data.

We developed a new branded folder package, including the Salary Guide, for impactful in-person client interactions. A new CRM system was implemented, along with automated, value-driven email sequences for more effective outreach. To add a touch of warmth, we created branded teddy bears, turning a business card into a lasting, emotionally resonant token.
