"We really appreciated Iida's pragmatic approach and hands-on input when scouting for talents. She was great at guidance us both on the high level talent search strategy, all the way down to detailed input in the job description which was very valuable for a startup without HR experts or resources!"

"After discussing our budget with Iida, we were able to reduce the amount allocated for hiring, allowing us to invest in other resources. Additionally, by engaging in these discussions and educating myself now, I believe I am saving money in the long run. When we secure investment, I might otherwise turn to a large consultancy with expensive services that may not suit our current stage. The guidance on strategic hiring and growth has also been extremely valuable, and I anticipate it will have a significant financial impact."

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

“Questions are never indiscreet, answers sometimes are.” – Oscar Wilde

You can hire ad hoc -style and it can work out just fine, tbh.

But if you are planning to grow your business and want to make sure your hiring success isn't based on luck, I'd recommend considering Talent Acquisition just like Sales and Marketing.

If sales and marketing were done like ad hoc recruitment, you would start cold calling decision makers when you already needed the money in your company's bank account yesterday. And your marketing would be all about poorly targeted BUY BUY BUY -ads.

So just like in Sales and Marketing, also in Talent Acquisition, you most likely close more ideal deals and have less churn if you have spent a moment defining your ICP, in this case ITP (Ideal Talent Profile), how and where to reach them and why they choose, stay and grow with you.

That's why you need a plan or a strategy: to make sure you are doing the right things to find the right talents to meet the business goals. And to avoid wasting loads of money, time and effort to inefficient means and costly wrong hires.

Let's have a chat and see! I'm also passionate about not starving to death so maybe I can help even though it wouldn't be a service listed above :grin:

Bottleneck will be a SaaS company at some point so I cannot commit to ongoing consultancy services forever. What I can do is ramp things up and get you started. If you don't have a person who could continue the work, or hiring an inhouse Talent Acquisition pro isn't smart anytime soon, I'm more than happy to guide you to other stellar service providers who can take over. Having worked in Employer Branding and Talent Acquisition for more than 15 years I'm able to guide you to the right direction and help finding the long-term partner that best suits your needs.
