Results That Speak for Themselves
Mastering SDR Recruitment: Fortune 500 Tech Company Hires 76 Top Performers
The Challenge
A Fortune 500 technology company with over 7,000 employees needed to consistently hire high-performing Sales Development Representatives (SDRs) to fuel its growth. The challenge wasn’t just finding candidates with the right resume; it was identifying individuals with the right attitude, coachability, and potential for long-term success in a sales career.
The Solution
IQTalent, led by Recruiter/Engagement Leader Alison Raeside, partnered with the client to develop and execute a unique SDR hiring strategy that has delivered exceptional results over a three-year engagement.
The IQTalent team recognized that the traditional markers of “sales potential” weren’t always the best predictors of SDR success.
This continuous learning process has resulted in more accurate candidate assessment over time.
The Results
successful SDR hires over a three-year period
successful hiring events conducted
How a Semiconductor Company Hired 60+ Engineers in 90 Days with Flexible On-Demand Recruiting
The Challenge
After receiving significant funding, the company faced several critical talent acquisition challenges:
- Needed to dramatically scale hiring in a short timeframe (3-4 months)
- Required specialized recruiting expertise in the highly competitive semiconductor hardware space
- Faced competition from larger players like NVIDIA that could offer higher compensation
- Wanted to avoid hiring full-time recruiters they might not need long-term
- Required seamless integration with their existing talent acquisition processes and systems
The Solution
IQTalent provided a customized, flexible talent acquisition solution that allowed the company to scale their recruiting efforts up and down as needed. It started with a 20-hour per week sourcing engagement and IQTalent quickly identified the need for additional support as hiring demands increased. They expanded from one person to nine team members at peak hiring needs and provided both sourcers and full-cycle recruiters seamlessly integrated with the client’s ATS and internal processes.
Established clear metrics for success: applicants reviewed, phone screens per week, and conversion percentages. This included strategic Partnership Weekly meetings with the client’s Senior Manager of Recruiting and regular data reporting on cost-per-hire, billing, and hiring metrics with transparent communication about upcoming hiring needs and potential scaling adjustments
The Results
completed during a 3-4 month intensive hiring sprint
months from start to 60+ roles filled

The Results
hires across Sales, Infrastructure, and Security Engineering
diversity representation
average time to fill
approximate cost reduced to annual recruiting
THE IQT DIFFERENCE
Why Clients Come Back
You Stay in Control of the Data
Every candidate contact, sourcing note, and hiring rubric belongs to you. When an engagement ends, so does any dependency on IQTalent. The work you did together is yours to keep and build on.
Recruiters Who Understand Your Business
