Case study: Automotive Scale-Up
This was a rapid scaling company, growing above 100% year over year. In the last year they took on a Series A funding round, giving them the opportunity to scale fast. The round meant that they could seriously invest in their leadership team, and they decided to start looking for the best of the best to lead their different departments.
Group Effort was suggested to them by a product executive from another company, and they engaged with us to assess if we could indeed find their ideal candidate. In this process we refined the description of the role and agreed on the terms quickly. The process started with a culture scan, and was later supplemented by an extra assessment of the product department. This led to further refinement of the image of the ideal candidate, which was found shortly after.
A big reason for the success was not just us, but also the client company taking on the responsibility to communicate very quickly and thoroughly. This made it possible to connect a their ideal candidate, even though that person already had an offer from a different company.
