Company Background:
Established in 1995, The Proven Method is an Atlanta based techonology services firm that employs and provides experienced business subject matter experts, industry leaders, and a large full-time staff of certified and proven system architects, designers, program managers, developers, quality assurance specialists and much more. They accomplish their clients' missions utilizing industry best practices and time-tested techniques that optimize results with minimal time and money.
Challenge:
The Proven Method's business is driven by identifying and serving clients with top notch technology talent. A key to success for them is they are constantly targeting, identifying and contacting clients and great talent.
The Proven Method decided the business development and sourcing activities were so critical to their success they created a research department to focus these efforts. The research team was tasked with finding the very best methods and sources to drive their business and process.
Solution:
The Proven Method turned to Broadlook to find the most effective ways to find and use real-time information to identify the right people at the right time with up-to-date information. Based on their needs, Broadlook identified a solution that included Profiler, Diver, and Market Mapper to provide the ability to fuel The Proven Method's business development, sales and talent acquisition.
The Proven Method decided to first focus their efforts on talent targeting, identification and acquisition. IT talent and spending typically leads the economy. "With the Broadlook suite, when our market slowed down in August - November 2008, we had the ability to find 'needles in the haystack' for our clients," said Mac Newton, Manager.
Results:
The Broadlook solution has had a definite impact for The Proven Method. "When the market slows, everyone is in the same situation. The competition gets stiff, " said Mr. Newton. "Speed of execution is critical and Broadlook enhanced our speed to get the quality passive candidates. Broadlook sped up our process, helped enhance our quality and gave us more time to give attention to quality candidates. Our clients want 10 our of 10 candidates with the talent they require. Broadlook enabled us to do that, where our competition could not."
The business impact for The Proven Method started with making the vast information of the Internet management and usable to find the best candidates. "Before Broadlook, it would take me hours to go through link by link, sifting information to find what I needed, and then cutting and pasting it into our systems," said Amy Fowler, Sourcing Manager. "Now I can get the information I need in minutes instead of hours. We would not be able to have near the level of success without it."
