The Challenge
They needed to recruit high-quality technical talent quickly and efficiently but were struggling to find the right candidates for critical Backend roles. This issue not only slowed team expansion but also risked delaying product development and impacting business goals.
Additionally, the client had been working with multiple recruitment agencies without achieving consistent results, highlighting the need for a more strategic and tailored hiring approach
Our Solution
We worked with the client to understand business requirements, hiring objectives, and preferred communication methods. Our consultants specialise in specific technical markets, allowing them to identify the best candidates for each role.
Our approach included:
- Weekly meetings to understand evolving hiring needs and provide market intel.
- A targeted role-specific sourcing strategy.
- Prioritising quality over quantity, focusing on candidates who were the best cultural and technical fit
This approach enabled us to deliver candidates who could make an immediate impact.
‘Albert Bow helped us scale last year where we went from 17 people Jan’18 to over 60 by Dec’18. David has been pivotal in providing insights into the engineering market as well always providing a first-class experience for the candidates which I truly admire and will always remain in contact with whichever business I work for.’
The Result
Within just under a year of partnering with the client we successfully filled 13 of 15 liven technical roles, significantly accelerating team growth. We built 50% of the Backend Team, alongside key placements in Mobile and Change & Transformation teams, and became the sole supplier for all technical hires.
