The hiring problem, in 30 seconds.

The tools kept changing. The fix was always capacity.

It doesn't break once. It breaks three times.

Signed off by the CEO on day one. Three weeks later there is nothing to review, and the exec review is on Thursday.

Every week The recruiter 53roles, one recruiter

Seven closed this quarter and no headcount approved to bring in support, so every new requisition joins the queue.

Day 41 The candidate 41days, then he was gone

Interviewed on day three, chased twice, heard nothing for twenty-four days, then went looking for the role himself.

The team came from

Tick what’s true for your team.

The questions everyone asks.

What does it cost?

You pay a monthly fee for the team’s capacity, not per placement, and there are no placement fees on any hire they make. It depends on the seniority of the person, but we typically bring costs down to 50–75% below any equivalent onshore resource.

How quickly can People Strategist mobilise talent?

Depending on the need and requirement, deployment can be anywhere from one to two weeks.

Can we scale the team up or down?

Yes. The team is sized to your hiring plan and changes as the plan changes. That is the point of paying for capacity rather than carrying headcount.
