Top management decided that they needed to make an R&D office in Kyiv from scratch. We needed a company to help us find people for our team in Kyiv.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

In three months together, we’ve hired about 10 people for different positions. We’re continuing to work with them.

We work very closely. We initially go through what process and steps we should follow. After we agree, we follow the steps. We have different steps like send the candidates for the initial review. Then I select some candidates. We then give them feedback on who I’d like to talk to. They arrange interviews for me. 

They also have a pre-screening by themselves where they talk to the candidates. Based on the interview, I decide whether to move forward. During this process, all the interviews are assigned by them.

Sometimes we have situations when the candidates needed some additional information or clarification about the job offer and what is expected of them. Sometimes I did it directly and sometimes I did it with them. They keep in contact with the candidates as well. There are always two channels of communication on both sides.

They’ve provided very good candidates. They’re very focused, professional, and want to make sure they provided the best quality service for us. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, they provided what we wanted.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

It’s important to build relationships with any company you work with. It’s good to see them in person. Tatiana (CEO) actually came to our office. We even talk about things that aren’t completely related to work. It’s helpful to not be too formal, so you can build a strong relationship.
