“SearchMonster sells itself because we always find quality hires in a time of need.” 

-Jackie Bourgeix, Business Development Director, Trelevate 

Customer Spotlight: Trelevate see more applications and quality hires with Monster

Trelevate is an outsourced sales company that partners with industry leaders in telecommunications, technology, energy and healthcare. They help clients build highly motivated sales teams that are deeply connected to their brand, all without having to hire or train a single person.  

The Challenge:  

Their team is constantly hiring for outside sales B2B roles. To meet the demands of their Fortune 150 and Fortune 500 clients, they are expected to hire within 4 to 7 days. 

They are finding it increasingly difficult to hire in job markets where there is less population or in larger cities that are highly competitive.  

The Solution:  

Trelevate leveraged Monster’s resume search and messaging tools to set up automatic drip campaigns and target their ideal candidates. In addition, Monster created a career site that is aligned with their employer brand and reflects their company culture.  

  • Quality Hires: “Search sells itself because we always find quality hires in a time of need.” 
  • More Applications: “Since the careers page went live, we went from 30-50 applies a week to 125-300 applies a week.” 
  • Diverse Applicants: “We now attract more veterans, mothers reentering the workforce, and college grads, than ever before.”
