Filling Hard-to-Fill Roles: Our Framework for Success
In today’s competitive hiring landscape, even experienced internal teams hit roadblocks when trying to fill specialized, executive, or newly created roles. Whether you’re searching for a strategic finance leader, a specialized engineer, or a transformational plant manager, these positions require more than a job board post.
At OnPoint Recruitment, we bring a targeted, proven approach to filling hard-to-fill roles – one that consistently delivers results.
1. Deep Discovery & Role Calibration
We go beyond job descriptions. Our search begins with a comprehensive intake that helps us understand:
– Team structure and leadership style
– Strategic business goals
– Role success metrics
– Culture and candidate alignment
This allows us to fine-tune the search criteria and prioritize what truly matters.
2. Industry-Specific Sourcing Strategy
Generic outreach doesn’t cut it. Our sourcing strategy is tailored by sector and role, combining:
– Our proprietary talent networks
– Passive candidate outreach
– Market mapping and competitor analysis
– LinkedIn and referral-based strategies
We specialize in Technology, Energy, and Manufacturing – and we know how to find the top 10% of the talent pool in these industries.

3. Engaging Passive Talent
Top candidates aren’t always looking. We proactively reach out with personalized messaging that reflects:
– Your company’s value proposition
– Why the opportunity matters
– What makes the role and culture unique
We build trust and interest—turning passive professionals into active prospects.
4. Rigorous Screening & Vetting
We only send finalists we’d hire ourselves. Our vetting includes:
– Structured interviews and behavioral assessments
– Culture fit and leadership alignment checks
– Scorecards tailored to your hiring priorities
– Clear candidate summaries for decision-making
5. Fast Turnaround, Zero Compromise
You need talent now, but you also need the right talent. Our agile process helps you move quickly while maintaining quality and alignment.
On average, our clients see fully vetted candidate slates within 2-3 weeks.
