Case Study: Scaling a Tech Startup's Talent Function
Client & Challenge
A rapidly scaling FinTech startup in Shoreditch needed to hire 30 software engineers and product managers within 6 months. Their small, overwhelmed HR team was struggling with the volume, and direct advertising was yielding low-quality applications.
HireNow Solution
We implemented a dedicated recruitment outsourcing model, embedding two of our senior tech recruiters into their team. We provided a full-service solution: crafting compelling job descriptions, executing a multi-channel talent sourcing campaign, and managing the entire interview and offer process.
Result
All 30 roles were filled within the 6-month deadline, with a 95% candidate retention rate after 12 months. The startup saved approximately 40% on the total cost of hire compared to using multiple high-street agencies.
“HireNow didn't just fill seats; they became strategic partners in our growth. Their understanding of the London tech talent market and their rigorous candidate screening were instrumental in building our world-class team.”
