Challenges

• Brand awareness of Teufel is quite high and they get many applicants regularly. Most of the time, the candidates are not skilled enough or do not fit on a cultural level
• Some interesting candidates only wanted to work fully remote but the company believes more in an hybrid culture and therefore struggled to get a right cultural fit
• Find someone experienced in ecommerce and scalable tech projects
• Find someone with strong backend skills (Symphony) and with a full stack mindset
• Get more diversity in the team and bring the right soft skills (someone curious, with growth mindset and communicative) to unfold/flourish in the team

How we helped

• We immediately assigned 3 Talent Scouts who have a very good track record in similar positions (out of more than 20 highly skilled recruiters who wanted to work on the assignment)
• We were able  to provide 5 highly qualified candidates within the first week of search, of which one got the job after 3 rounds of interviews and successfully completing a case study
• We accompanied Teufel along the hiring process and managed a smooth communication between all parties involved
