OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenges were you trying to address with dotLinkers IT Recruitment?

As a startup, finding good front- and backend developers was difficult, so we were looking for the right partner to help us find candidates to augment our development staff. It was important to find proper resources that could align with our requirements and with a good understanding of our market.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

dotLinkers IT Recruitment is helping us with staff augmentation services. We start every hiring process with an initial call so they can understand our needs and the job description of the positions we're trying to fill. Consequently, whenever they find an interesting candidate for us, they send us their resumes, provide important information based on their first screenings, and give us feedback depending on each candidate's professional motivation. 

dotLinkers IT Recruitment's team also offers to handle the initial interviews for the candidates, but we've decided to manage those ourselves.

Currently, despite not having the need to hire more people at the moment, dotLinkers IT Recruitment sends us interesting candidate resumes so we can keep them in our database in case we need them later.

We've been working with one person from dotLinkers IT Recruitment's team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

dotLinkers IT Recruitment’s work is very efficient. Rather than sending us a lot of candidates, they only connect us with the ones that effectively cover our needs. So far, they’ve sourced us with five candidates, and we’ve hired two of them, which is a great result for us because it doesn’t feel like they’re sending whatever they have. Additionally, the candidates we’ve hired show motivation for their work.

How did dotLinkers IT Recruitment perform from a project management standpoint?

dotLinkers IT Recruitment’s project management is cost-effective and efficient. In terms of budget, they’ve exceeded our expectations because they don’t try to push higher prices and salaries to make a bigger commission, which I appreciate. Regarding timeframes, they also go above and beyond by trying to find resources quickly, even before our deadlines.

As for communication, their team is very responsive to our feedback and provides good follow-up. In addition, we use email to reach out to each other, and dotLinkers IT Recruitment can also organize meetings upon our requests.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Unlike other staff augmentation agencies, dotLinkers IT Recruitment takes my needs into account and manages a proper screening and interviewing process. This reflects their work efficiency and ability to understand our requirements.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think there’s anything they can improve on because they listen to my requirements, which results in a good conversion rate of the candidates they send versus the ones we hire.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

It’s important to establish a budget and know what you want in terms of the profile, the skills, and the technological knowledge you’re looking for in the candidates. Moreover, listen to their feedback and see what they can offer.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We’ve been looking for software developers, testers, and implementation teammates. Over time, we’ve migrated from looking for potential employees to looking for contractors.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with dotLinkers IT Recruitment?

Our local market is very saturated, and our competition is extreme, so we needed help with IT recruitment for our team because we weren’t satisfied with job boards and traditional advertising.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

dotLinkers IT Recruitment works remotely, providing us with resources within their network whenever we’re in urgent need of senior developers for Ruby on Rails and JavaScript. They offer onboarding and training, but we use them solely for recruitment tasks, which include sourcing candidates, approaching them, screening, and conducting interviews.

In addition, we hire companies like dotLinkers IT Recruitment because they use their own networks.

What is the team composition?

We work with three members of their team, including their manager and a couple of recruiters.

How did you come to work with dotLinkers IT Recruitment?

We knew about them through a networking referral and chose them because they had huge experience hiring developers, which was priceless. After all, they knew the markets and how companies like ours work, so it seemed like it’d be easier for them to approach a candidate that could suit our needs.

How much money have you invested in this partnership?

We’ve spent $10,000–$50,000 with them so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in October 2016, and the engagement is still ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We’ve definitely benefited from working with them — they've recruited 4–5 developers that they’ve recruited for us that are the strongest in the market, even compared with global agencies. Those resources are experienced and top quality. Moreover, they understand our needs, stay with us for many years,  and communicate well in addition to their technical abilities. 

How did dotLinkers IT Recruitment perform from a project management standpoint?

Regarding communication, we have in-person meetings from time to time, email, Slack, and phone calls. In addition to that, they have a talent pool tool where they submit candidates directly to us, which is comfortable for us.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their recruiting experience in the development market is priceless. Moreover, they spend a lot of time and effort trying to understand our company and culture, which enables them to complete the task successfully.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think there’s anything they can improve on because they’re doing great.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the HR manager for Europe at a software company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with dotLinkers?

We used dotLinkers as an agency when we were starting our new entity. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

dotLinkers provided us with recruiting services. We provided them with the job descriptions and other specific information about the role. They analyzed potential candidates and relayed relevant materials, like candidates’ CVs, salary requirements, and experiences. 

From there, we’d conduct candidate interviews ourselves. We conducted technical interviews and provided dotLinkers with some feedback on the candidates they provided. Once offers were signed for the candidates dotLinkers sent to us, we relayed the information back to them. 

What is the team composition?

We worked with Natalia (IT Recruitment Project Manager) and one other teammate. 

How did you come to work with dotLinkers?

We accidentally came across dotLinkers — they contacted our VP, who wanted to expand our business. 

How much have you invested with them?

We paid dotLinkers $48 per hour, for a total of $6,000–$10,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

Our engagement with dotLinkers was from July 2021–April 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

Since our company was growing, we’ve decided to hire an internal recruitment team, but if our projects expand, we may hire them again. dotLinkers has helped us expand into Poland, which was our goal. The first few candidates we hired in Poland were provided by dotLinkers; we hired 10 teammates through dotLinkers. They did a good job filling the positions that were difficult to fill. 

How did dotLinkers perform from a project management standpoint?

Our cooperation with dotLinkers was very good — we had weekly calls with Natalia, where she was very transparent and clear about the project. When we had no candidates around the holiday season, she was very transparent about it instead of hiding it. We mostly communicated through Google Meet and emails. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I can’t say anything specific that makes them stand out from other agencies in Poland. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, they did a good job.
