Why we partnered:

Their Country Manager was tasked with growing the UK team with 5 new key hires
They previously used expensive and transactional recruitment agencies, who didn’t help with boosting the Fergus UK employer brand
Their Head of People & Recruitment Manager were based in New Zealand and hindered by the +/- 12hr time zone difference
They needed someone with UK SaaS industry experience who could integrate into the Fergus culture and had a track record of in-house company growth

We partnered for 12 weeks and achieved:

5x hires made across Partnerships, Customer Success, Sales and Marketing
Average Time to Fill = 13 days
Cost saving of £20,000 vs traditional agency model
Saved 45+ hours of hiring manager time on application reviews and initial interviews

Full service included:

"Matt was the perfect fit, effortlessly embedding himself into our culture and needs in candidates, and quickly adding value"

"Previously, using a recruitment agency proved to be expensive with no additional value to employer branding, onboarding, market trends or our EVP. Matt did all of this. Would highly recommend"

"A game-changing approach - we won't entertain the thought of bringing in anyone else to deal with our recruitment moving forwards"

"Matt has been a pleasure to work with throughout his time at Fergus. Usually it's a very in and out approach in the Recruitment world. However Matt engrains himself in the culture of a company, understanding their philosophies and people before capturing top-class talent in the market"
