An industry pioneer transitioning away from oil retained a traditional search firm to find their Corporate Communications Leader. The search failed, leaving them empty-handed. 
Using the #WVH MVP platform, we mapped 100% of the relevant talent landscape across the lower 48 States, mining federal press releases and public records to uncover passive candidates hidden from legacy agency databases. We handed this entire data asset over to the client at no extra cost. 
The client is still making high-level hires from this sovereign pool long after our project finished. Knowing who is "IN" a specific talent market will become increasingly commoditised; the true #WVH innovation is on how to engage that talent.
Traditional outreach fails because men and women engage with recruiters differently; men treat it transactionally, while highly qualified women frequently ignore cold calls or decline out of hand. 
#WVH creates a unique, personalized hiring platform experience for every candidate. Instead of pushing generic job descriptions, our platform allows candidates to gain deep, real-world insight into the opportunity.
In addition to multiple hires in corporate leadership roles, we also mapped engineering and R&D staff. We deployed machine learning to integrate public data and paid services into a simple, permanent infrastructure source of talent. 
By layering domestic flight hub schedules over this map, we programmatically prioritized passive talent based on commute feasibility, turning a national list into an actionable, logistically viable pipeline.
#WVH Widened their Gate, now they will never have to Lower their Bar!
