Konker success story: How we helped Expert Insights boost their employer brand and expand their team

At Konker, we believe in people first recruitment. So, when Expert Insights came to us struggling to find the right talent for their niche cyber security business in rural Devon, we knew we could help. Here’s how we partnered up, and delivered real results…

The challenge

Like many fast moving businesses, expert Insights were facing a similar hiring struggle. They needed to scale their team with specific, hard to find skills.

The main challenges included:

• A limited local talent pool for niche roles
• Time wasted screening unsuitable candidates
• Attracting team members who have the right cultural fit

They needed more than a CV matching service. They needed a recruitment partner who truly understood them and the business. That’s when they partnered with Konker.

The Konker approach

From day one, our focus was simple – understand the people behind the business.

Ashley, our Sales, Marketing & Events Director spent time with the leadership team to get a deep understanding of…

• Company culture and values
• Team dynamics and leadership style
• Long-term business goals
• The technical and soft skills required for success

At Konker, we don’t just look at experience on paper, we look at attitude, drive, personality, and potential. Every applicant was carefully screened based on both their ability and their alignment with the company’s vision.

We focused on:

• Tailored, role specific sourcing strategies
• Honest, transparent communication
• Pre-screening to ensure quality over quantity
• Long term fit, not short term fill.

This human first, personalised approach is what makes Konker different and what delivers lasting results.
