Case Study: Scaling a FinTech's Talent Acquisition Team
Client:
A high-growth FinTech startup based in Shoreditch, London.
Challenge:
The company secured Series B funding and needed to hire 50 new software engineers and product managers within 6 months. Their lean, two-person HR team was overwhelmed, and the time-to-hire was threatening product roadmap deadlines.
Workers-Direct Solution:
We provided a blended recruitment outsourcing solution:
- Two dedicated, experienced Technology Recruitment Consultants on a 6-month temp-to-perm contract.
- One Recruitment Coordinator to manage all interview scheduling and candidate communications.
- Access to our proprietary candidate screening automation tools to streamline the initial sift.
- Weekly performance reviews and alignment meetings with the client's Head of Talent.
Result:
The hiring target was met in 5 months. Both consultants were offered permanent positions by the client, and the coordinator transitioned to a full-time role within the expanded HR team. The startup maintained its aggressive growth trajectory without burning out its core team.
"Workers-Direct didn't just send us CVs; they became an integrated part of our talent function during a critical period. Their consultants understood our tech stack and culture from day one, which was invaluable. We couldn't have scaled so efficiently without their staff augmentation model."
— Head of Talent, London FinTech Client
