Problem:
Having recently completed a recent Seed funding round, noah energy found themselves in a situation where they needed to bolster their technical team at a rapid scale, to meet investor expectations.
Historically all technical hiring had been led by the CTO, but with his attention needed on building the MVP and the existing hiring programme not delivering the volume or calibre of candidates required, noah enlisted Socium to take ownership of their tech hiring.
noah ultimately needed to hire 30 people (from scratch) over a 6-month period and acknowledged there was no way the existing model was sufficient to deliver at the scale needed.
Solution:
Socium partnered with noah on an ‘exclusive’ basis to support the CTO in building out his engineering team.
We redefined their interview process to improve the pace and therefore likelihood of successful hires, which also had a knock-on effect of freeing up considerable time in the CTO’s diary to focus on the business.
Socium created an EVP to ensure we were able to make noah stand out in a crowded and competitive market which had a huge impact on candidate engagement.
This team compromised of Frontend, Backend, Platform, Cloud and Security Engineers.
Key results:
9 profiles, across 3 engineering roles (Cloud, Frontend and Backend), with 3 hires successfully made from the very first round of submitted candidates. Socium now working with noah to finalise the hiring roadmap for 2022, ensuring the target team of 30 is completed by June 2022.
Cost savings
With the average salary offered for each of the positions in the region of £75,000 equating to an £11,250 saving from standard rate card, across the 3 hires when comparing to traditional contingency rates.
