Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Early in 2022 we started building our EU sales team, and opened Sales Manager vacancies in Austria and Germany. As the labour markets of these countries were pretty new to us, we decided to work with a recruitment agency. We had one partner first, but the number of candidates we got from them wasn't enough to build the team within planned timelines, and we started looking for another partner. This is how we met Avomind.

This was a turning point in the whole process! Already on the first call with Olena I could feel that she understood what kind of profiles we needed. She immediately grasped it! So, I felt very comfortable to give it a try with Avomind. Right after the call we started getting CVs, and the level of candidates was really high.

Seriously, I don't know how they generate so many great candidates, but I had a feeling that they can send new CVs endlessly :) I managed to close all my open roles with their help, and was super comfortable to recommend them to other colleagues internally. As a result, our marketing team started working with Avomind, too, and they helped us hire our first Brand Strategist in the DACH region. I'm very happy with this partnership.

All Avomind employees I've ever had a contact with are very professional, really helpful, act fast and are super proactive. I'm happy we established a real partnership, not just became another customer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

• 2 Sales Managers who joined iTechArt
• 1 Brand Strategist who joined iTechArt

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Avomind delivered everything they promised on time. They are super proactive, and I never have to follow up with them on something - they follow up with me instead :) Moreover, they always listen carefully to our needs and were really understanding whenever we rejected candidates (never tried to convince us that we shouldn't do it).

What was your primary form of communication with Avomind GmbH?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email
• Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They act fast, are very professional and helpful, and I have a strong feeling that their company culture is great - only this way you can attract great talent for yourself and other organisations. You quickly feel comfortable to trust them.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Avomind GmbH could have done differently?

There are not. Keep it up, Avomind!

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Avomind GmbH?

Avomind helped us to hire M&A analysts

SOLUTION

How did you select this firm and what were the deciding factors?

I got to know Avomind through a mutual contact. I heard they have the best network in the ecommerce M&A space.

Describe the project in detail and walk through their service package.

We had several calls to explain the role we're hiring for and what kind of talent is needed for such a role. They were of great help defining the qualities we are looking for. Furthermore they helped to tweak the role to have a bigger pool of potential candidates from their network. Afterwords they showed us a pre-selected pool of candidates and helped set up the interview rounds with the most promising ones.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

In contact with a leading person in their team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Not really. They are not the cheapest but hey - hire nice or pay twice.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm a M&A Associate at a business aggregator

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Avomind GmbH?

Our company was very rapidly expanding its Investment Team and was under pressure to quickly acquire a bunch of new companies. Thus, we had to find highly qualified M&A and investment banking professionals of different seniority levels.

Besides just finding these types of professionals it was also a difficult task to get those folks to buy into the high growth story of the company as they are used to very high cash salaries. In addition to their investment banking experience the candidates had to show evidence of their entrepreneurial mindset. This combination is fairly difficult to find. Avomind helped us identifying those talents and got them to buy into our story.

SOLUTION

How did you select this firm and what were the deciding factors?

As mentioned time was a critical factor for us. Nick, the founder of Avomind, understood our brief very quickly and developed the respective role descriptions. Further, we had the feeling that he really understood what it takes to build a rapidly scaling team.

Describe the project in detail and walk through their service package.

The recruiting project included several roles to be filled. These roles were across the Investment and Operations teams and located in multiple geographies, such as the US, UK, Germany and France.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We had one point of contact for the entire project. I assume multiple people worked on the project in the background. Having had one PoC made the communication very smooth.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the engagement that demonstrate progress or success?

Very quickly we had the first leads in the pipeline and were able to interview candidates that fulfilled exactly our briefing criteria. Overall we were able to scale our Investment team at an incredible pace with really high quality people.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

As mentioned we had one PoC and that made the work incredibly efficient.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Nick really understood what we were looking for. He was very well connected within the technology scene and knew our business model. That made the entire briefing process very efficient.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Not really anything to complain about to be honest.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I work for a professional service that connects clients, usually corporations and investors, with industry experts to gain insights, knowledge and perspectives on a specific subject. My position relates to been responsible for overseeing and managing the day-to-day activities of the business, ensuring that it runs smoothly and efficiently. Managing the whole operation staff & clients from our geography.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Avomind GmbH?

When our company decided to open its first office in the UK, we quickly realized that attracting top talent would be a major challenge. Despite being a smaller firm, we were operating in a highly consolidated market and competing against much larger companies for the same pool of candidates.

To make matters even more difficult, we didn't have a Talent Acquisition team in place, and we had to rely entirely on external recruiters to help us find the right people. After conducting some research, we decided to hire Avominds to help us tackle our recruitment challenges. Their expertise in Talent Acquisition, combined with their deep knowledge of the UK market, made them the ideal partner for us.

They quickly got to work on our recruitment needs and helped us build a pipeline of high-quality candidates. Thanks to their efforts, we were able to fill our open positions with the best possible people, which was crucial for our company's success in the UK.

SOLUTION

How did you select this firm and what were the deciding factors?

When it came time to choose a Talent Acquisition partner for our company, we had a number of important considerations. First and foremost, we needed someone with experience working with expert networks, as we were looking to expand our presence in this market.

After conducting a thorough search, we decided to select Avominds for this critical project. One of the key reasons we chose Avominds was their demonstrated expertise in working with expert networks. They had a deep understanding of the challenges we faced, and they were able to help us identify great candidates in the UK. This was a critical factor in our success, as we needed to attract top talent in a highly competitive market.

In addition to their expertise in Talent Acquisition, Avominds also helped us with a commercial package that was viable for our early start. They took the time to understand our unique needs and constraints, and they worked with us to develop a solution that was tailored to our specific requirements.

Describe the project in detail and walk through their service package.

With a large number of positions to fill, we were looking for an efficient and effective solution to manage our Talent Acquisition process. After exploring our options, we decided to automate the process by using acquisition software like Recruitee. This tool would allow us to streamline our recruitment efforts and make the process more efficient and effective.

When it came time to choose a partner to help us implement this solution, we were thrilled to find Avominds. They were keen on partnering with us and eager to collaborate with Recruitee. Their expertise in Talent Acquisition, combined with their enthusiasm for new technology, made them the ideal partner for this project.

Avominds was instrumental in helping us navigate through each CV and summarizing the key takeaways from each candidate, making our decision-making process much easier. Additionally, they kept partnering with us even after the candidates were hired and were truly invested in ensuring that we made the right choices.

They kept a close eye on the performance of the candidates in our firm, which gave us valuable insights into their strengths and areas for improvement.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We had contact with several different resources since the start of the project, starting with the CEO, later with the Head of Operations followed by a dedicated Team Manager.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the engagement that demonstrate progress or success?

With the help of Avominds, we were able to fill all of the positions that we needed in a timely and efficient manner. The new hires that we brought onboard have demonstrated a solid performance, and they have quickly become valuable members of our team.

Their guidance and support were instrumental in helping us navigate the recruitment process and identify the right candidates for our organization. They were fully committed to our success, and their passion for Talent Acquisition was evident in everything they did.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Communication was fast and valuable, in our industry we expect our vendors to be on top of the requirements and that's what we have received. We had weekly catch-ups to check on overall progress however, during peak times we would communicate daily.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their ability to go beyond the written words of a CV and scan profiles through a screening call before sharing the profiles with us. Therefore, once we received CVs, they were quite a good fit and already had a good knowledge of our market.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

At this point, I believe the project was executed perfectly and do not see areas of improvement.
