The Challenge

Scaling employer acquisition without clean data

As one of the UK's most trusted job boards, the client's growth depended on consistently onboarding new employers and expanding relationships with existing recruiter clients — but scaling B2B outreach at the pace required was proving increasingly difficult.

01

Deteriorating Data Quality

Internally held prospect lists were ageing rapidly. Outdated job titles, defunct email addresses, and missing decision-maker contacts were burning budget on irrelevant records.

02

Lack of Targeting Precision

The employer audience spanned SME HR Managers to enterprise Talent Acquisition Directors — without segmented, verified data, campaigns lacked the precision to engage the right people.

03

CRM Inaccuracy at Scale

With thousands of employer accounts in the system, records had decayed significantly — duplicate entries, missing fields, and outdated contacts creating friction for the sales team.

04

Inability to Break New Sectors

Expanding into logistics, healthcare, engineering, and retail required net-new prospect lists the internal team lacked the capacity to build and verify at scale.

"We had a strong product and a clear value proposition for employers, but our outreach was only as good as the data behind it. We needed a partner who could give us the right contacts, in the right sectors, with the confidence that the data was clean and current."
