Recruiting IT specialists for a startup requires a special approach, because you need to take into account the constantly changing nature of such companies. Of course, startups operate in a dynamic environment where flexibility and adaptability to changes are important factors. Therefore, when looking for personnel for startups, it is necessary to pay attention to those specialists who can work effectively under uncertainty, respond quickly to changes and will be ready for a work day that is not quite standardized.
Customer request
We were approached by an international company creating a Fintech product with a request to find CTO expertise in managing large teams. Since the project was just beginning, there was an urgent need to find an experienced manager who could not only make all the company's technical decisions, but also assemble a development team from scratch.
Difficulties encountered
- timescales
The client clearly set the deadlines, as he planned to start selling his product, and the service station was the first cog in the future huge mechanism.
- A lot of competition
Due to the tight search deadlines, our client hired a number of providers (in the IT space sector), which created an extensive funnel of candidates and frequent market crossings.
- Conditions
The final stage of the interview was a face-to-face meeting with the company's CEO in Singapore. In addition, regular visits to the head office in Singapore were required - twice a month.
- Vaibu compliance
One of the customer's key requirements was that the candidate should meet the team's atmosphere: a young and dynamic team. The candidate had to blend in harmoniously with the situation and at the same time possess a very high level of expertise.
Recruitment process
We simultaneously connected three recruiters who are both expert in the Fintech industry and who have successful experience in closing C-Level positions.
Our recruiters, together with a client, formed a clear portrait of the candidate for this position, then identified the main search sources and started finding the ideal specialist!)
The result of our work
As a result of additional communication with the product team, a finalist was selected, who was supervised by our recruiter throughout the selection process. The candidate successfully completed a face-to-face interview with the CEO and accepted our offer. The deadline for closing the position (from the moment the requirements were withdrawn to the actual acceptance of the offer) was 18 days.
