Finding the Perfect Hire for Our Reward Team

Why Specialist Expertise Matters

Recruiting for a specialist role in our Reward team was proving to be a challenge. We needed someone with technical expertise, strategic thinking and a deep understanding of the Reward landscape, but despite our efforts, we struggled to find the right fit.

Many generalist recruiters sent us candidates who met some of our criteria but lacked the specific industry knowledge and experience required to thrive in this role. We needed more than just a capable professional—we needed someone who truly understood Reward strategy and its impact on business performance. That’s when we turned to Harvey Sutton, and their expertise made all the difference.
