The accounting software company had recently opened a brand new office In Barcelona, but had no knowledge of the local area, along with having no team to start in this new market. Without a network for them to start recruiting from, and no internal HR team to help them do so, they needed to find an external partner that could support them in building a team from scratch.
Having our own base in Barcelona, we soon found out about them opening their new office and approached them to provide our services in helping them to build a new team of local talent with the language skills and experience they needed to support their long-term plan.
Our team arranged a meeting with our client to get to know the business and understand what their long-term plan was. Their plan was very clear, but also a very challenging with a requirement of at least 6 people to be hired within just 8 weeks, with those 6 people being needed to be on board within a specific order.
We started by meeting them and understanding what was their long-term plan, which was very clear, but had a challenge: timing - they needed to hire at least 6 people within 8 weeks and in a particular order! So, we designed a recruitment plan and a process together and started working with Product vacancies, then Dev & Infra and finally QA testers and Scrum.
With the vacancies needing to be filled being across different areas of specialism, we utilised our different consultants who focussed fully on those specific roles and created a dedicated team to work on this recruitment plan. To ensure we kept a unified communication with our client however, we maintained one sole point of contact throughout the process who would act on behalf our team of five.
Our process involved:
Within 8 weeks, our team had managed to send a total of 32 CV’s to our client within the 8-week period. From those 32 candidates put forward, we managed to achieve a total of 5 successful hires during that period.
