The Client
Our client is one of the largest and most impactful social media companies in the world, with millions of monthly users.
Cpl’s Talent Evolution Group initially partnered with this social media client in 2015 and have since built a long-term relationship together.
The client had a requirement for an array of multilingual talent across a variety of languages and, in 2017, the Talent Evolution Group implemented a Managed Service Provider (MSP) solution within the client’s advertising team.
This programme has grown from a single managed services team within the advertising department to a wider MSP offering within the client’s trust and safety department.
The Talent Evolution Group’s service has also expanded to support hiring within the client’s finance, procurement, and marketing teams, in a non-managed service capacity.
The Talent Evolution Group’s focus on ‘quality of hire’ is a key reason for the success of this client relationship. Many of the contingent hires become full-time employees; a testament to the quality of our processes, screening, and in-depth alignment with the client's needs.
