We successfully hired our CTO in a competitive IT job market after our struggles with other recruitment agencies. It was a great experience to work with such a nice team and very experienced recruiters. Also Jomigo's efficient collaboration platform helped us to streamline our recruitment process! Two thumbs up!
Rintaro YoshidaManaging Director, Cloud AceAbout the client
Cloud Ace is a Google Cloud solution provider that has won several Google awards. It works across Asia and was entering the German market, with Berlin as its base.
The challenge
- Cloud Ace had worked with several other headhunting agencies and was unhappy with both the fit of the candidates and the pace.
- Expectations were very high and the requirements unusual.
- The CTO was one of the company's first three hires in Germany, made before it had a brand, an office or a legal entity there.
- It had no knowledge of the local market and no network in it.
What we did
- We picked the recruiter in our network best suited to the role, who sourced for it exclusively.
- We followed up with the recruiter every day to find the best match as quickly as possible.
- We held a video call with the hiring manager at least once a week to keep up with his needs and give open feedback on every candidate.
- We set up and joined conversations between the recruiter and Cloud Ace, to build trust on both sides.
- We advised Cloud Ace on where to adjust the search, based on feedback from the market.
The result
Cloud Ace hired an experienced CTO with a specialism in the cloud sector.
