Case Study: The Johnson Group Surpasses Fiebig Architecture's Hiring Goals
In today's competitive job market, finding the right talent can pose significant challenges for organizations. Fiebig Architecture faced this issue when searching for a specialist to fill a crucial position. After a lackluster experience with a previous recruitment firm, they turned to The Johnson Group for support. This case study explores how The Johnson Group, led by Manager of Talent Acquisition Felicia Caballero, exceeded Fiebig Architecture’s hiring goals and fostered a successful partnership.
Setting the Stage for Success
Fiebig Architecture required a candidate with a very specific skill set tailored for a unique role. After partnering with another recruitment firm for two months without any success, they were frustrated and concerned that their hiring goals would be derailed. Recognizing the urgency of their situation, the team at Fiebig Architecture reached out to The Johnson Group, eager for a fresh approach. A collaborative kickoff meeting helped establish clear expectations, timelines, and the characteristics of the ideal candidate, laying the groundwork for a targeted recruitment strategy.
Tackling Recruitment Challenges in a Competitive Market
Navigating the complexities of a tight labor market is no easy feat. The demand for specialized talent often outstrips the supply, leading to intense competition among organizations. Felicia and her team at The Johnson Group embraced this challenge, leveraging their extensive network and resources to identify potential candidates quickly.
Through strategic marketing and outreach efforts, The Johnson Group connected with passive candidates who may not have been actively seeking new opportunities but were well-suited for Fiebig Architecture's needs. Felicia’s proactive approach, paired with her expertise in talent acquisition, allowed The Johnson Group to stand out in this competitive landscape, positioning them to attract top-tier talent.
Candidate Evaluation
Felicia employed behavioral interviewing techniques to dive deep into candidates’ past professional experiences, uncovering their problem-solving abilities, collaboration styles, and adaptability. By assessing soft skills alongside hard qualifications, The Johnson Group ensured that they presented candidates who not only met the technical requirements but also contributed positively to the team’s dynamic.
The Johnson Group’s Rapid Response
Within three days of their initial discussion, The Johnson Group delivered a qualified candidate for Fiebig Architecture's review. This remarkable speed and efficiency starkly contrasted the previous firm’s two-month struggle without meaningful results. The swift turnaround demonstrated Felicia’s commitment to client satisfaction and her ability to execute a focused recruitment strategy effectively.
Fiebig Architecture's leadership recognized the impactful difference this rapid response made, alleviating their concerns and instilling renewed confidence in the hiring process. The successful presentation of a candidate so quickly led to a straightforward interview process, resulting in an expedited hiring decision that ultimately filled the role with a strong, capable candidate.
The Impact of Exceptional Service

Felicia’s attentiveness to client needs and the quality of her communication enhanced the hiring experience for Fiebig Architecture’s team, which had previously felt overwhelmed by the arduous process.
As a direct result, not only did Fiebig Architecture successfully fill their open position, but they also left with a renewed sense of trust and collaboration. Felicia's positive approach led them to initiate another hiring search with The Johnson Group, demonstrating their satisfaction and confidence in the partnership.
