Cases
Information about open positions, outdated listings, closure dynamics, average metrics for time and resources, and the best sources for candidates was previously disorganized, unprocessed, and time-consuming, with a lack of transparency. Ksenia helped the company create a dashboard that allowed real-time and quick understanding of the status and key metrics, reducing unnecessary communication and increasing transparency and team loyalty.
The agency faced challenges with scaling, needing to hire more and build a talent pool for freelance and part-time projects without a dedicated recruiter. Ksenia, together with key stakeholders, developed a candidate selection strategy and contact database, reviewed leading ATS systems, and designed the future interaction flow, enabling the company to meet business goals without hiring a separate recruitment specialist.
