- 7 weeks to hire
- Product & Operations role family
Jomigo's thorough role discovery led to a detailed understanding of the desired profile. In just 2 weeks they helped us find a true high performer leaving his safe position at a leading industry player behind to join us. We asked for a Sr. Associate and got a Sr. Director - promoted him to COO within a few months.
Jan-Moritz HohnFounder & Managing Director, LeverestAbout the client
Leverest is a digital marketplace that connects companies, private equity investors and advisers with a network of lending partners.
The challenge
- This was Leverest's first senior hire, made before the start-up had closed a funding round or built a product.
- The role called for a highly specialised expert in a small industry.
- Few candidates had the niche skill set the role required.
What we did
- We wrote a job ad that made the role attractive.
- We explained the company, its business model and the opportunity to potential candidates.
- We approached qualified candidates individually, with a personal message to each.
The result
Leverest hired a debt advisory specialist with an entrepreneurial mindset.
