Case Study: Wellington Group, Inc achieves rapid contractor sourcing — 20 top contractors in 2 weeks — with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

Wellington Group, Inc - Customer Case Study

Wellington Group (WGI), a 75–100‑employee staffing and recruiting firm that places HR and recruiting professionals for mid‑market and Fortune 100 clients, faced the common contractor sourcing challenge: many qualified candidates prefer permanent roles, yet clients demand high‑quality referrals in 48–72 hours. Meeting exacting standards and fast turnarounds made finding reliable contract talent difficult and time‑consuming.

Recruiter Molly Colasanti began using LinkedIn Recruiter’s contractor sourcing plus the Open to New Opportunities filter and searched in widening concentric circles—contract‑ready candidates first, then broader open talent. She narrowed roughly 11,000 results to 47 highly relevant prospects and found 20 top contractors within two weeks, cutting wasted outreach, improving response quality, and creating a stronger pipeline of contract hires.
