The Challenge
The client approached MyWorld to conduct a confidential search for a Compensation & Benefits (C&B) Manager, a specialized HR role requiring deep expertise in reward strategy, payroll structures, and employee benefits management.
However, the Cambodian talent market presents several challenges for such positions:
- Limited talent pool of professionals specializing in Compensation & Benefits
- High demand for experienced HR specialists in comparable industries
- The need to balance candidate capability with budget expectations
Due to these constraints, identifying a suitable candidate who matched both the technical requirements and the client’s budget proved particularly difficult.
Our Approach
To address the challenge, MyWorld conducted thorough market research and targeted talent mapping before beginning the search.
Our approach included:
- Identifying professionals from similar industries where compensation and benefits expertise is relevant
- Proactively reaching out to passive candidates who were not actively looking for new opportunities
- Presenting the client’s value proposition and potential career growth opportunities to attract qualified talent
- Ensuring outreach covered all available C&B specialists across comparable sectors to maximize the chances of finding the right candidate
This method allowed us to expand the candidate pool beyond traditional job seekers and engage experienced professionals who may not have otherwise considered a move.
