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

Evotym handles the full recruitment cycle for us, covering roles of different seniority levels and specialisations across the business. They have supported us from the start of our partnership and still do today.

Their scope of work covers: Understanding the role. They align with us on requirements, seniority and the profile we need. Sourcing and screening. They actively search the market, including passive candidates and pre-screen everyone before presenting them. Shortlisting. We receive a small number of relevant, high-quality candidates instead of a long list to filter. Interview coordination.

They schedule interviews with our team and manage communication with candidates at every stage. Closing. They support us through the offer stage until the candidate accepts. The key deliverable is simple: strong hires in a short time. Evotym works very fast without compromising on quality. The candidates they bring match our needs well, and we close roles much quicker than we expected.

Communication is excellent throughout: proactive, clear and always responsive, which makes the whole process easy for our team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The clearest measure of success is the number of roles closed. Evotym has successfully filled several positions for us at different seniority levels and we continue to work with them on new searches. All of the hires were specialists we would have struggled to find on our own. Time-to-hire was noticeably shorter than with our usual channels. We typically received a relevant shortlist within few days and the roles were closed within 2-3 weeks  from the start of the search.

The shortlists were small but precise: most of the candidates presented reached the interview stage with our team, which saved our hiring managers a lot of time. The quality of hires is reflected in the people themselves.

 The candidates who joined passed their probation and became strong members of their teams. The fact that we keep coming back to Evotym for new roles is probably the best sign of how satisfied we are with the results.

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

Evotym’s project management was very well organised. From the start they agreed on a clear process with us: what profile we needed, how often we would get updates and how feedback would flow between us. They always kept to it. They delivered on time and often faster than we expected. Shortlists arrived on schedule, interviews were coordinated without any back-and-forth on our side, and we always knew which stage each candidate was at.

What we valued most was how they responded to our needs. When requirements changed during a search or we gave feedback on a candidate, they adjusted right away and the next candidates reflected it. They were always available, answered quickly and took ownership of the process. It felt like working with an extension of our own team rather than an external agency.

Even when we don’t have an active search, I know I can reach out to them for help or advice, and the team is always happy to support us. Simply talking to them is a real pleasure: they are true professionals and wonderful people.

What was your primary form of communication with Evotym?

Email or Messaging App

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

What impressed us most is that Evotym combines speed with real quality, which is rare in recruitment. They move fast, but they don’t send candidates just to fill a pipeline. Every profile they share is well thought through.

They also understand our industry. Fintech and payments roles are very specific and Evotym quickly understood the nuances of what we needed, sometimes even better than a job description could explain.

But what really makes them unique is the people. The team is warm, genuine and truly invested in our success. They treat candidates with the same care, which reflects well on us as an employer. For us, Evotym is not just an agency but a partner we trust and genuinely enjoy working with. Evotym finds high-quality professionals quickly, communicates brilliantly and is always there when we need them. Working with this team is a real pleasure and we highly recommend them.

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

At this stage, there is nothing we would change. Evotym keeps up with the market and keeps evolving and we notice it in how they work with us. They are also growing into new markets, which is great to see. So all we can wish them is more wins and continued success and to stay just as wonderful as they are.

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

For my team at Decta, we closed 2 openings together with Evotym: an Event Marketing Lead and a Product Marketing Manager. In both cases we kicked-off with the strategic sessions to define the exact skills, experience, and personal qualities we expect from candidates.

For the Event Marketing Lead role, Evotym sourced candidates from their network, pre-screened them, and briefed me ahead of the interviews so I could focus on what mattered most. They brought to my attention a skilled professional based in Poland. Her skillset, experience, and culture fit allowed me to make an offer with no concerns. Even though the contract arrangement was different from what we normally use, Evotym coordinated it smoothly on their end.

For the Product Marketing Manager role, we were close to making an offer to a strong inbound applicant, but last-call Evotym's candidate was more prepared than anyone we'd seen before. We froze the process and made this no-regret decision.

Communication was clear and well coordinated. We were always aware of where are we at within every pipeline and what are the next steps. For each role, we had a dedicated recruiter who was proactively sourcing the candidates and keeping the process well-structured with fast intros, scheduled calls, and regular updates. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The Event Marketing Lead role was filled within 23 days, and the Product Marketing Manager role was filled in 68 days. Both hires are still with us and performing well. 

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

Everything was well-coordinated and on time, with a dedicated recruiter for each opening and regular updates about the hiring process.

What was your primary form of communication with Evotym?

Virtual Meeting

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

They didn't just try to fill the brief by sourcing candidates to present someone, they brought us candidates strong enough to change a decision we'd already nearly made. Great approach.

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

One hire came with a non-standard contract structure, which took a bit of extra coordination to sort out. Evotym handled it well, but it's worth flagging for teams with less flexible HR setups.
