How We Filled 9 Urgent Roles for Fintech in 58 Day
As a prominent developer of CFD broker platforms, this Fintech startup, drawing on 14 years of industry expertise, recently obtained funding to kickstart their latest initiative. With a tight five-month deadline to create their MVP, they urgently needed to assemble a team. The task at hand involved locating professionals from specific companies in the CIS and Europe, ensuring cultural compatibility, and facilitating their quick relocation to Cyprus.
Our Solution: The startup enlisted our assistance for a focused headhunting approach. Our multilingual team, proficient in English, Russian, Polish, Belarusian, and Ukrainian, utilized its knowledge to identify candidates across the CIS region. Operating from Warsaw, we tapped into our vast network and comprehensive understanding of local markets to efficiently fulfill the client's requirements.
Challenges: We aimed to fill 30 positions within 60 days amidst a competitive landscape. This involved sourcing specialists from targeted industries and companies via platforms such as LinkedIn and hh.ru, ensuring candidates could commence work within a month, and overseeing their relocation to Cyprus, including visa arrangements. Additionally, we needed to align candidates with the startup's cultural and technical criteria within a restricted timeframe.
Strategic Approach: To maximize the client's time, our team engaged in every step of the interview process, ensuring that only ideal candidates were recommended. We employed our comprehensive CV database and platforms like LinkedIn and hh.ru to find candidates from areas with a significant number of professionals willing to relocate, such as Georgia and Turkey.
Results: We successfully filled 9 out of the 30 positions in just 58 days. Additionally, we secured a new contract to fill 30 positions in Singapore, set to begin in Fall 2024. We also established Cyprus as a new business direction and documented our success in a case study. If you're a startup in Cyprus looking to create a strong team, we are here to assist you.
