After a merger, Irixs needed more new colleagues, but external agencies were expensive and its own network was running dry. With RPO and a new careers website, Irixs found 7 new trainees in 3 months, without losing control of its recruitment.
When IT consultancy Irixs merged, it wasn't just the company that grew, but also the need for new colleagues. External agencies were expensive and Irixs wanted more control over the recruitment process. By using several tactics at once, the Irixs team kept that control, showing just how varied the options are when it comes to recruitment.

Irixs was looking for both sales staff and trainees: sales talent for New Business and trainees for Business Consultancy. The company used to fill these vacancies mainly through its own network, and the traineeship with the help of an external agency.
That came with considerable costs. And when demand for new colleagues rose sharply after the merger, its own network could no longer deliver enough.
So Irixs went looking for a more cost-effective way of recruiting that would also let it stay in control of the recruitment process.
Irixs took a broad approach and chose several options to fill its recruitment programme. The company started with RPO: a combination of job marketing and interim recruitment. A new careers website followed too, and it quickly caught on. When it came to finding sales talent, searching on LinkedIn proved very effective.
With its modern, fresh look, Irixs' new careers website has already attracted many new candidates. All vacancies now have a clear place of their own. Take a look at werkenbij.irixs.nl.
By outsourcing recruitment tasks such as searching for candidates online and calling them, Irixs saved a lot of time. At the same time, the team itself stayed firmly in control. Candidates were followed up quickly, and the effect showed.
Irixs' online campaigns radiated confidence and positivity. That's how Irixs attracted the right candidates: people who fitted the organisation and its core values.
