Recruiting Data and AI Profiles Without Agency Dependence: The Sagacify Case Study
Discover how Sagacify structured its recruitment to attract data and AI profiles, reduce costs, and gain autonomy.
The Starting Point
Data and artificial intelligence profiles are among the most challenging talents to recruit. They are rare, highly sought after, and often expensive to attract.
Sagacify, an SME specialised in data and artificial intelligence, operates in a market where qualified candidates have plenty of choices. Before Jobloom, the company relied heavily on external agencies, with costs reaching €15,000 to €20,000 per recruitment.
The problem wasn't just financial. This dependence also reduced control over the process, visibility into applications, and the company's ability to build its own acquisition channel.
The goal was therefore to gain autonomy and make Sagacify more attractive to expert tech profiles.
Why is a specific solution needed to recruit data and AI profiles?
Recruiting data, AI, and expert tech profiles requires a specific approach.
- Candidates are rare and highly sought after in the market.
- Expert profiles want to understand the projects, technologies, and the company's level of ambition.
- Agencies can represent a very high cost for each recruitment.
- A low-visibility employer brand limits the ability to attract directly.
- An unstructured process slows down decision-making and can lead to losing the best candidates.
In this context, companies must be able to present themselves clearly, disseminate their opportunities effectively, and process applications responsively.
How Jobloom addresses these challenges
A tech-focused career site
Jobloom implemented a career site to showcase Sagacify, its data and AI projects, and its working environment.
For expert profiles, simply displaying an offer isn't enough. It's crucial to inspire them to join by explaining what makes the assignments interesting.
Targeted dissemination of offers
Offers are distributed through relevant channels to reach tech profiles. The goal is to increase visibility without relying solely on agencies.
This dissemination helps build a more direct and controlled acquisition strategy.
Centralised applicant management
All applications are consolidated into a single tool. Teams can track profiles, organise stages, and maintain a clear overview of the recruitment pipeline.
In a competitive market, this responsiveness is crucial.
More autonomous recruitment
With Jobloom, Sagacify can attract, track, and manage its candidates more directly. The company reduces its reliance on intermediaries and gradually builds its own recruitment system.
