What challenges do companies face in recruitment?
- 1. SHORTAGE OF QUALIFIED CANDIDATESEspecially when it comes to rare or highly specialized professionals — there are very few such candidates on the market, which makes the recruitment process more complicated and time-consuming.
- 2. LENGTHY HIRING PROCESSCollecting resumes, conducting interviews, and making decisions — all of this prolongs the recruitment process. Candidates may lose interest and accept offers from other companies.
- 3. USE OF INEFFECTIVE SOURCING CHANNELSA limited range of sourcing channels does not allow access to candidates who are not looking for jobs through these channels.
- 4. INEFFECTIVE SELECTION METHODSRelying on outdated methods of sourcing and assessing candidates can reduce the accuracy and efficiency of the recruitment process.
- 5. HIGH EMPLOYEE TURNOVERHiring the wrong candidates can lead to increased staff turnover. This raises company expenses for additional recruitment and employee training.
Why Are You Still Unable to Find a Strong Employee?
- HIRING EMPLOYEES THROUGH REFERRALSLeads to poor work quality and wasted time, as referrals are often based on personal relationships rather than the candidate’s actual professional skills
- POSTPONING THE HIRING OF NEW EMPLOYEESLeads to burnout of the existing team and increases staff turnover
- REMAINING THE SOLE COMPANY LEADER AND HANDLING ALL TASKS ALONELeads to owner burnout
- SEARCHING FOR EMPLOYEES ON YOUR OWN WITHOUT INVOLVING RECRUITMENT AGENCIESLeads to lengthy recruitment taking several months and constant turnover of candidates during the probation period
What Does This Lead To?
-
- The Manager cannot step away from operations
- A lot of time is spent training and onboarding new employees
- Poor work quality leads existing clients to go to competitors
- You cannot scale the business
- Many company processes are stalled due to lack of staff
- New projects cannot be launched
- No time to focus on strategy development
- Insufficient profit

Successful Candidate Sourcing Cases
How to Find a Plant Manager for a New Industrial Gas Plant Amid a Talent Shortage
The task was to find a Plant Manager for a new industrial gas production plant.
Starting Point:
The main challenges were:
End Point:
Eventually, a candidate was found who had recently moved to the city from Kostanay. He had worked as an Energy Specialist in a plant producing iron ore concentrate. The workshop had a small oxygen production unit for internal plant needs, which the candidate was responsible for.
After the interview, the client had doubts about the candidate’s leadership skills. References were collected not only from his direct supervisor but also from subordinates at his previous plant.
This approach allowed the company to hire the employee in time and begin the commissioning process as scheduled.
Starting Point:
The main challenges were:
- A specialist with experience in industrial gas production was required. Such professionals were nearly nonexistent in the city. There was a similar gas production company, but candidates from that company demanded high salaries, which the new company could not yet afford. Comparable candidates were located in other cities, but the company refused to consider relocating candidates (even with housing provided).
- The client was also concerned because previously the company had hired a Workshop Manager on its own, but he left after just two weeks, and commissioning work was starting in a month.
End Point:

How to Find Logistics Specialists on Time for a New Cargo Import Project
The task was to find Logistics Specialists for a cargo import project to an oil field for a company with a major client.
Starting Point:
The main challenges were:
End Point:
How was the recruitment challenge addressed?
This was the company’s first experience with import operations for a major foreign client. The experience enabled the company to participate in another tender with a different international client and launch new operations. In 2025, the company won a logistics and customs clearance tender for a company ranked among the top 3 largest oil and gas firms in Kazakhstan.
Starting Point:
The main challenges were:
- Since the tender results and project start date were unknown, logistics specialists needed to be found within a tight timeframe.
- Because the client was a foreign oil company, specialists with experience working with international clients in logistics companies as contractors were required. There was concern that such candidates were scarce and already employed.
- This was the company’s first experience with import operations, creating uncertainty about whether they could handle the workload due to limited staff.
End Point:
How was the recruitment challenge addressed?
- Identified a company where employees were handling a similar workload and recruited staff from there using search tools such as headhunting and referrals.
- Gathered references from all candidates who passed the interview from their previous workplaces.
- Since the start date was uncertain, a talent pool was created in advance to ensure readiness if work began suddenly.
This was the company’s first experience with import operations for a major foreign client.

How to Find a Technologist for Rearing Artemia Salina Shrimp When There Is a Talent Shortage
The task was to find a Technologist for a new project related to rearing Artemia salina shrimp in Kazakhstan.
Starting Point:
The main challenges were:
End Point:
The problem was solved using social networks, specifically vk.com. Using the site’s search tools, candidates from Russia were identified, particularly researchers from scientific institutes studying Artemia cultivation for research purposes and familiar with the entire process. This enabled the project to successfully start Artemia rearing.
Starting Point:
The main challenges were:
- The client could not find such specialists, as they are almost nonexistent in Kazakhstan, and job sites (e.g., hh.kz) do not have such candidates registered.
- In Russia, industrial-scale Artemia cultivation is prohibited, so there were no companies from which such employees could be recruited. The client was concerned that the project could not be launched without an experienced specialist.
End Point:
The problem was solved using social networks, specifically vk.com. Using the site’s search tools, candidates from Russia were identified, particularly researchers from scientific institutes studying Artemia cultivation for research purposes and familiar with the entire process. This enabled the project to successfully start Artemia rearing.
Case Study: How to Recruit Sales Stars for 5,000,000₸ Deals via "Unobvious" Headhunting
The Objective: Recruit Sales Managers for a trading company based in Almaty.
Point A: High Stakes & Complex Products
Our client, a distributor of premium dental materials, needed to fill two critical roles:
Instead of a standard job description, we collaborated with the Director to create a "Value Profile":
The MedTech market was exhausted. After exploring FMCG and construction, we realized those candidates lacked the "polish" required for the premium segment.
Point A: High Stakes & Complex Products
Our client, a distributor of premium dental materials, needed to fill two critical roles:
- Implant Sales Manager: A complex product requiring knowledge of anatomy and surgical protocols. The goal wasn’t just to sell "hardware," but to sell a medical technology.
- Condylograph Sales Manager: High-tech diagnostic equipment for the jaw joint. With a price tag of several million tenge, this role required the expertise of an "engineer-consultant."
- Candidates from the MedTech sector demanded inflated base salaries.
- The role required a "premium" presence: impeccable appearance, refined speech, and the ability to negotiate with clinic owners.
- The average deal size for condylographs is 5,000,000₸.
Instead of a standard job description, we collaborated with the Director to create a "Value Profile":
- Emphasis on Growth: We highlighted the company’s internal training and educational forums.
- Company Culture: We showcased the "healthy" work environment (many employees have been with the firm for 10+ years).
- The Persona: We targeted candidates with high empathy, autonomy, and a willingness to work "in the field."
- The Result: We found a candidate selling low-end dental consumables. Having outgrown his current role, he had been following our client at trade shows for years. He closed his personal growth gap, learned quickly, and is already delivering excellent results.
The MedTech market was exhausted. After exploring FMCG and construction, we realized those candidates lacked the "polish" required for the premium segment.
- Our Pivot: We turned to the Luxury Real Estate market.
- The Profile: We found a candidate accustomed to VIP clients, impeccable presentation, and high-ticket price tags. He was drawn to the transparent bonus structure and the high-tech nature of the product.
- The Result: His experience with "high checks" translated perfectly to dental equipment. He passed training with flying colors and is successfully closing deals.
Case Study: Recruiting an Accountant in a "Heated" Market in Almaty
Point A: Challenges and Constraints
A freight forwarding company (road and rail logistics) approached us to fill a Solo Accountant role. We faced several key obstacles:
- Below-Market Salary: Candidates were requesting salaries 30% higher than the offer. The lower pay was justified by a light workload at the start, but this failed to attract high-level professionals.
- Specialized Expertise (Foreign Economic Activity): The role required deep knowledge of currency control, import/export taxation (VAT, duties), and working with non-residents.
- Growth Potential: With plans to launch two additional legal entities and expand the staff within a year, we needed more than just a clerk; we needed a potential Chief Accountant with managerial ambitions.
- Strict Client Filtering: The CEO, with 30 years of leadership experience, maintained very high standards for discipline and stability (screening out any candidates with a history of frequent job changes).
1. Adjusting the Value Proposition (EVP): Since the budget was fixed, we shifted the focus from monetary compensation to other corporate advantages. Working with the CEO, we highlighted "non-monetary" bonuses in the job description:
- Reduced Work Hours: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM, a rare benefit in the accounting field.
- Minimum "Noise": No high-pressure deadlines or emergencies during the initial phase.
- Convenience: Free parking, an office in a desirable district, annual bonuses, and covered mobile expenses.
- Loyalty: Direct communication with the owner, completely bypassing bureaucracy.
- 44 target calls (cold outreach + inbound applicants).
- 10 specialized candidates shortlisted for primary interviews.
- Deep psychological compatibility checks with the CEO (using case interviews and projective techniques).
Conclusion
- When the budget is limited, a recruiter must look for the most motivated candidate rather than the most expensive one. We found a professional for whom this vacancy solved a major personal problem, which guarantees high loyalty and long-term stability for the client.
Case Study: Hiring a Director Amidst a Niche Talent Shortage
Industry: Oil & Gas Services (Offshore / Kashagan Project) Location: Atyrau, Kazakhstan
🚩 Point A: Market Deadlock
The Objective: Find a Project Director to manage specialized vessel operations at the Kashagan field. Key Responsibilities: Client relations with international stakeholders, tender management, HR oversight, and ensuring the technical readiness of the vessel.
Search Challenges:
💡 Solution: Requirement Decomposition & Strategic Pivot
Instead of chasing a "unicorn," I conducted a deep audit of the Director's actual tasks alongside the client.
We successfully placed a candidate from the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) sector who was already working on the Kashagan project.
Why he was the perfect fit:
🚩 Point A: Market Deadlock
The Objective: Find a Project Director to manage specialized vessel operations at the Kashagan field. Key Responsibilities: Client relations with international stakeholders, tender management, HR oversight, and ensuring the technical readiness of the vessel.
Search Challenges:
- "The Overpriced Pros": Sea captains with the required experience demanded salaries 2–3 times higher than the company budget (matching offshore rates). However, they lacked experience in tender documentation and corporate reporting.
- "The Office Managers": Strong administrative managers lacked any knowledge of maritime operations, which was a critical "deal-breaker" for the client.
💡 Solution: Requirement Decomposition & Strategic Pivot
Instead of chasing a "unicorn," I conducted a deep audit of the Director's actual tasks alongside the client.
- Identifying "False" Requirements: We discovered that specific maritime expertise was only truly needed once a year—for permit renewals. This skill was teachable and did not require a 20-year career at sea.
- Shifting the Focus: I proposed looking for candidates outside the maritime sector, targeting adjacent service industries that operate under the same rigorous Kashagan standards.
- Creating a "Selling" Vacancy: The job description was rewritten to attract high-level operations experts looking for a challenge in a new technical niche.
We successfully placed a candidate from the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) sector who was already working on the Kashagan project.
Why he was the perfect fit:
- He had a flawless understanding of tender processes and international safety standards.
- He was experienced in obtaining complex regulatory permits for high-tech equipment.
- The candidate’s salary expectations aligned perfectly with the company’s budget (saving 50% on payroll costs compared to the captains' demands).
- The candidate successfully adapted, transferring his expertise from aviation to the maritime sector, and passed his probation period with excellence.
- Conclusion for the Client: Success was achieved not by "shuffling" through a volume of resumes, but through deep profile analytics and identifying talent in the market’s "blind spots."

How to Find the Best Candidates in a Talent Shortage Market?
A shortage of candidates is a reality for many HR professionals, especially in the oil, manufacturing, construction, and IT sectors. Yet even under these conditions, there are ways to attract talented specialists. Let’s break down how to stay competitive in the labor market.
1. Understand the labor market situation
To recruit effectively, it’s crucial to know what drives the shortage:
Lack of qualified professionals in specific fields (e.g., engineers, technologists).
Geographic factors — shortages in remote or less attractive regions.
Employer competition and the growing freelance market.
Understanding these factors helps build a more precise hiring strategy.
2. Develop an attractive offer
To win the best candidates, your offer must be multi-dimensional:
Competitive salary and bonuses.
Career growth and training programs.
Flexibility — remote work, flexible schedule.
Corporate culture that supports work-life balance and inclusivity.
3. Use unconventional sourcing channels
When traditional methods fail, turn to alternative approaches:
Social media and messengers (LinkedIn, Facebook, professional groups in Telegram and WhatsApp).
Forums and communities — engage in industry events.
Reverse search (headhunting) — target passive candidates.
4. Improve the interview process
Make decisions quickly to avoid losing strong candidates.
Assess cultural fit — ensure values and work style align with the company.
5. Work with passive candidates
Passive candidates (not actively job-hunting) can be a valuable resource:
Build relationships — communicate, share news within your field.
Send personalized offers with unique opportunities.
Leverage employee referral programs with bonuses.
6. Optimize the job offer (Offer)
Your offer must stand out in every aspect:
Flexible work conditions — remote options, flexible schedule.
Additional perks — bonuses, health insurance, gym memberships.
Reasonable decision timelines — don’t delay sending the offer.
7. Strengthen your employer brand
A company’s reputation is key to attracting top talent:
Be transparent and honest throughout the hiring process.
Show corporate responsibility — involvement in ecological and social projects.
Promote positive employee feedback and showcase team achievements.

By using unconventional sourcing channels, engaging passive candidates, and strengthening your employer brand, you will be able to attract top professionals and remain competitive in the labor market.
