VMware is the industry leader in virtualization technology. With over 15,000 employees, 55,000 partners, and 500,000 customers, VMware is truly at the forefront of the technology industry.

Problem:

Due to VMware’s success in gaining market share and the growing needs of the business, they found themselves suffering from a personnel shortage. When mapping out a staffing plan, they quickly realized they did not have time to locate, hire, and train additional recruiters to match the rate they needed to make hires in key business units.

Solution:

Sage Solutions’ Recruiters on Demand (ROD) solution offered the flexibility of “plug-and-play” veteran headhunters that could contribute immediately. Within days, we embedded a team of 6 hyper-focused headhunters into VMware’s existing recruiting infrastructure. Sage Solutions integrated seamlessly with the VMware staff and appeared to outsiders as employees. Our headhunters attended strategy meetings, interacted directly with hiring managers, and provided premium talent for their candidate pipeline. Based on the immediate success of the program, VMware more than doubled our involvement, adding a total of 13 headhunters.

Results:

The results were measurable, significant, and immediate. Our senior headhunters were able to locate hard-to-find, passive, top-notch talent across several key business units in North America, South America, and Europe. In the first year of an ongoing engagement,Sage Solutions’ headhunters consistently ranked among the top performers in VMware’s staffing organization in all measurable categories and won internal awards for excellence.

TESTIMONIAL:

“We have employed the services of Sage Solutions for more than a year with great success. Sage Solutions has been great to deal with and was completely flexible with our requirements. The staff they assigned to our team are top recruiting professionals whose work ranks up there with our best recruiters.

From start to finish the service has been flawless. We asked them to ramp up quickly and they did, we demanded complete integration with our business and they did and we wanted quick results and they delivered.

I have no hesitation is recommending Sage Solutions to further clients.”
