When we first spoke, they had been working with a recruiter who was not a technical specialist, so the profiles were never quite right. On top of that, their head office is in Reus and they needed senior people, which makes hiring near the HQ considerably harder.
So we built a remote search strategy, looking for candidates who were happy to travel to team-building events a few times a year so that everyone met face to face. It worked: in a short space of time they hired three people, a full-stack engineer with Ruby on Rails, a frontend engineer with React, and a DevOps engineer with AWS.
That was not the end of it. A year later they had closed new clients and the team needed to keep pace with the company, so two more hires followed. To date we have presented 35 candidates to them, five of whom became hires.
