How we catapulted
Slingshot’s hiring to new heights
Previously at Slingshot, we faced confusion due to multiple recruiters. This chaos didn’t serve our brand or candidates well. That’s all gone since partnering with Fulcrum, our people partners. They deeply understand our brand, sending us the right people who build our culture, not detract from it.
Fulcrum, a true extension of our business, effectively represents us in the market, giving even unsuccessful candidates a great view of our brand. Their role has fast-tracked our recruitment, reclaiming our time. I wholeheartedly recommend Fulcrum.

The challenge
Slingshot’s partnership with Fulcrum came at a pivotal moment during their growth journey, Having just signed off several clients, the company needed to grow quickly and efficiently. Many additional digital specialist and senior roles were required for this to be at all possible.
With a wish-list of roughly 20 specialised rales to hire for, Slingshot found that they needed a trusted partner, long term, with an in-depth understanding of their business. What they required was Fulcrum’s unique blend of experience, extensive knowledge of the digital and media landscape and ability to act quickly and decisively.
Costly agencies not delivering value

The solution
Throughout an initial twelve-month partnership, Fulcrum provided a flexible team made up of one Senior Talent Partner and two Talent Partners.
This team covered both media, digital, data and commercial hiring roles, taking on the responsibility of engaging with specialised digital candidates and senior commercial candidates. Whilst focusing primarily on sourcing the right talent to fill these roles, Fulcrum also worked on additional value add projects, such as competitor analysis, rewiring the hiring process and improving the employer branding content to raise Slingshot’s profile
The results
Fulcrum hired over 21 roles (16 of which in 6 months), saving Slingshot countless hours that otherwise would have been spent on recruitment and freeing up time for the team to prepare themselves for their clients. This initial success meant that a renewed partnership was a no-brainer, and Slingshot decided to renew the partnership with Fulcrum.
The roles hired were just the beginning of what the Fulcrum have achieved so far with Slingshot, also providing invaluable changes to improving the interview process, data integrity, filming employer branding content to highlight the company’s amazing culture.
