How Socium helped Bolttech achieve their unicorn status
We’ve been hugely impressed with the thoroughness of Socium’s service and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any fast-growth or scale-up business that wants recruitment to be a delight rather than a headache.
Problem:
A one-size-fits-all approach no longer worked for Bolttech’s global growth, so Socium was tasked with helping them reach their 2022 headcount growth targets, providing a fully managed hiring solution for both permanent hires and contractors. This enabled Bolttech to scale at speed and meet their ambitious investor targets.
Bolttech were unable to align a scaling strategy to their strategic goals and were looking for a partner to manage the complete process.
The primary objective was to free up internal HR teams from recruitment activity across a dispersed set of locations around Europe and Asia, by delivering hires into both existing locations as well as enabling the launch of new countries, including payroll and compliance in new regions.
Solution:
Over a 24 month period the Socium team delivered 39 individual placements into
3 new countries and 4 existing locations including but not limited to;
Specialisms:
- IT Support and End user computing
- Cyber Security
- Project/Programme Management
- Business Analysis & Strategy
- Marketing & Sales
- Operational Leadership roles
- Bid Management
- Finance
- Legal & Compliance
Key results:
Deployed the first Socium associates in just 5 days, each with in-depth domain knowledge and an ability to hit the ground running right away.
Cost savings
Socium reduced Boltechs time to hire by half, whilst also increasing the candidate experience and reducing their overall costs substantially.
In addition due to our global reach we enabled the launch of several new countries by supporting payroll set up in typically challenging regions.
