YSG Tailors: Case Studies

Summary

Case Study: Supporting YSG Tailors with Retail Sales and Customer Experience Recruitment

Recruiting customer-facing talent for a premium retail and tailoring brand

At Woods & Co Recruitment, we understand that in premium retail, the customer experience is everything.

That’s why we’ve been proud to support YSG Tailors, a Melbourne-based made-to-measure tailoring business, with recruitment across key customer-facing roles that directly influence client experience, conversion and long-term brand loyalty.

For businesses operating in premium retail and personalised service environments, hiring the right people means finding candidates who can combine strong sales capability with genuine customer engagement and attention to detail.

The recruitment challenge

Recruiting within premium retail can be highly competitive, particularly when roles require both commercial performance and high-touch client service.

YSG’s hiring requirements included:

  • Sales Consultants

  • Fitting Consultants

These positions sit at the centre of the customer journey, helping clients navigate styling decisions, fittings, product recommendations and the overall experience from first interaction through to final delivery.

The challenge was identifying candidates who could confidently operate in a premium, customer-led environment while aligning with the brand’s service standards.

Our approach

Woods & Co took a targeted recruitment approach focused on identifying strong customer-facing talent from relevant premium retail, fashion, luxury and service-led backgrounds.

Our recruitment process included:

  • Talent mapping across premium retail, fashion, luxury sales and customer experience sectors

  • Proactive outreach to passive candidates, not just active job seekers

  • Detailed screening focused on communication, presentation, customer engagement and commercial capability

  • Close consultation with YSG to understand team culture, client expectations and role requirements

Rather than relying solely on active applications, we leveraged our broader retail and customer-facing recruitment network to identify stronger off-market talent.

The outcome

Through our partnership with YSG Tailors, Woods & Co has successfully supported recruitment across:

  • Sales Consultant recruitment

  • Fitting Consultant recruitment

By acting as a genuine recruitment partner rather than simply filling vacancies, we’ve helped YSG secure customer-facing talent aligned with both sales performance and the premium client experience their brand is known for.
