How a fully distributed professional services firm scaled its hiring and saved money by partnering with Avra Talent
Overview
When it comes to hiring, there are really only three options – DIY, hire an internal team, or outsource your hiring to a recruiting firm. Here’s how Avra Talent helped a prestigious professional services firm serving startups grow their teams fast with efficient and cost-saving strategies.
The Challenge
Hiring top-quality candidates without breaking the bank is a challenge for most companies, and this fully distributed firm is no exception.
In order to achieve its lofty goals, the firm needed to scale its hiring quickly and affordably while focusing on attracting high-quality candidates.
Without an in-house talent team, the responsibility to recruit fell to the Operations Manager, who “did not have enough internal resources to satisfy our recruiting needs.” To solve this problem, they looked to hire recruiting support.
The Solution
In March 2021, the firm engaged Avra Talent to help them streamline their hiring process and implement best practices for interviewing and evaluating candidates. They chose Avra Talent because they found us “exceptionally reliable.”
Our team began by offering recruiting coordinator services to support the company’s leadership and, over time, layered in other services to meet the companies hiring needs.
Today, Avra Talent provides weekly consultation on recruiting strategy, reliable ownership of posting to job boards, communicating with applicants, sourcing passive candidates, screening applicants, administering assessments, and scheduling interviews.
The Outcome
By continually adapting to the firm’s needs, Avra Talent has helped them:
- make 61 hires to date
- develop a pipeline that moves candidates from application to offer in an average of 36 days
- spend 52% less than hiring an in-house team
- spend 80% less than utilizing a contingency agency.
“Avra Talent is more than a recruiting agency. They are a highly trusted partner that is always there for us, whether we recruit for one role or ten roles. They have talented people on their team that shows in the quality of candidates they can attract and bring to offer. We love working with Avra Talent!” ~ Operations Manager
