3 Oceans Case Study

The Challenge

After a number of years of quality and consistent business, 3 Oceans made the decision to take their business to the next level. To do this they required a Development Chef to generate new ideas through creative NPD & a Business Development Manager to take the new ideas to new and existing customers.

The Solution

After a number of conversations between the Managing Director of 3 Oceans and myself it was clear that 3 Oceans needed quality individuals who were passioniate about joining a business dedicated to grow and quality of product. Both roles required individuals with a proven track records in their selected roles, as well as wanting to work for a company that would reward peoples dedication and hard work. A combination of search & advertising, twinned with an indepth pre-screening interview process was the most successful way to recruit for these positions. I felt before forwarding any applicants to 3 Oceans I wanted them to have a true understanding of the culture and vision of the company. As well as this all candidates had to demonstrate their passion for creativity and the desire to work for a company that champions hard work and dedication.

The Feedback

The mission was to put together a "wow" team consisting of a Development chef and Business development Manager who could instantly click and work together to achieve our goal of doubling sales over the next 3 years !

Having worked well with Jonas in the past, I gave them the first shot at this project, and Tom immediately grabbed the opportunity and was literally more motivated and excited by the challenge than I was. Tom worked very hard to understand our business and specific requirements, and did a great job of matching the privately owned company with individuals with the required integrity. There were many late night phone calls arranging interviews and 3 way negotiations but the end result was that within 3 months our "wow" team was up and running .....

so Jonas, many thanks for bringing John and Andy to 3oceans.
