CHALLENGE

Rural Sourcing is committed to creating high-quality IT careers across Middle America while helping clients accelerate their digital transformation journey. They provide expert digital engineering teams to build and deploy mission-critical software, using a 100% U.S.-based delivery model. Headquartered in Atlanta, GA, the company is quickly expanding physical locations throughout the country. When they choose Buffalo for their 10th location, Rural Sourcing needed a community-based workforce and talent solutions firm who could fill 80 roles of specific skillsets within six months, while aligning with their growing pipeline.

APPROACH

Imagine Staffing understood that Rural Sourcing was new to Buffalo’s rapidly growing tech industry without any credibility or market share. They needed a partner that was agile and able to scale up or down in size with them based on their needs. A specific, cost-effective Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) plan was set into place, as it continues to evolve as growing business requirements drive the increase in demand for sustainable talent solutions. Imagine had earned their trust and their business by explaining that they understand the growth of a business depends on the quality of their people. Saving them nearly $1MM (one million) in costs and overhead, the RPO is effective because it scales with Rural Sourcing’s needs over time in a fluid approach.

SOLUTION

Overall, Imagine Staffing won this client over with their ability to quickly customize solutions with transparency and ample communication. The positions being filled are elaborate, remote, detailed, and in high demand with their specific skillsets. Imagine has currently trending to hit its first KPI mark, on par to hit their needs of filing roles for Developers in Angular, Java, Golang, Android, iOS, Python, Xamarin, React, Automation, and more including the Principal and Senior levels.

“Imagine Staffing’s collaborative and transparent nature has made this partnership an enjoyable experience. They have been very diligent with learning about our business and ensuring we are represented in the market as an employer of choice. Imagine has brought a high volume of quality candidates through the process and has helped to accelerate our velocity and fill urgent openings that has allowed our organization to recognize revenue faster. We would recommend working with Imagine to anyone seeking an RPO partnership for their organization.” – Cherilyn Hickman, Director of Talent Acquisition, Rural Sourcing
