Búsquedas IT

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a senior manager for a global company of the HCM industry which just established a software engineering office in the country and wants to double the number of software developers working there within the first year.

For what projects/services did your company hire Búsquedas IT?

Our company acquired another American company with an office in Montevideo, and they intend to duplicate the local workforce within an year.

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

We had worked with them in the past with excellent results, and this time it has not been different.

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

We have weekly coordination meetings with BusquedasIT in which we review the openings, the pool of candidates, and in which profiles to set the focus for the next week. In between meetings we work with their team through emails/Slack, receive updates on candidates and coordinate interviews. The process is very dynamic and flexible, works smoothly. They also have an awesome web page in which you can see the candidate profiles, the positions they are applying to, the CVs, salary expectations, etc.

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

Since the start of this project it's around ten new hires which we have onboarded from BusquedasIT. They come from either Cuba or Uruguay, and all are working on our office in Uruguay.

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

85% of the hired candidates have been sourced by BusquedasIT. The rest were sourced by our own talent acquisition team or internal referrals. We are also working with another recruiting agency and they have failed to provide good enough candidates until this point. Our local market is vey hot right now, and there are a lot of companies hiring. Our brand is not yet recognized locally, and it complicates things for us. BusquedasIT is doing a great job in helping us mitigate that aspect.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Very efficient. Their team is very flexible and accommodating. In general any delays would come from our side of things, with BusquedasIT never becoming a bottleneck or us having to explain or clarify our needs twice to them

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

They understand your needs right away, provide you with what you requested, and help you better understand the dynamic of a constantly changing market conditions. They are our partners in identifying discrepancies between what we are seeking and the conditions we are offering for the market, and help us determine any changes we might need to implement to the process, the definition of the profiles, or the offered conditions.

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

At this point I cannot think of any. BusquedasIT are very flexible and adapt weel to the individual companies' recruiting processes.
