Treeline Inc.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of an inside sales organization. Our 23 inside sales representatives report to me, and I report to our CEO.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Treeline Inc.?

We needed help finding qualified candidates for open positions.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We started the engagement by completing the paperwork to formalize the relationship. Then, we had an initial call with Treeline Inc. and a kickoff call with the team of recruiters who would find candidates for us. I completed a form describing my requirements and setting the basic priorities of the engagement.

After that, the candidates began coming in. Treeline Inc. has a website sending me alerts when a candidate comes in. I see the appropriate information about them and rank them. We can also go back and forth with comments and everything. It’s a modern system that allows for a lot of asynchronous back and forth.

The candidates are generally well-qualified and screened. The profile of the person we’re looking for has some nuances, so it’s not a simple screening process. We require the basic skills of inside sales.

What is the team composition?

We work with Rachel and about 7–8 individual recruiters. Around 2–3 of them have risen to the top quickly.

How did you come to work with Treeline Inc.?

I was aware of Treeline Inc. because they had placed me in a position 2–4 jobs ago. I had a soft spot in my heart for people who found me because that meant they were great at finding good people. They reached out to me through email marketing.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $75,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in June 2024, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Treeline Inc. has provided us with 33 candidates who've been hired and are ramping up successfully. We have one finalist with a final interview next week and four strong candidates we would've hired, but they accepted another position before we could confirm them.

How did Treeline Inc. perform from a project management standpoint?

Treeline Inc. manages the project of finding qualified candidates for me.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Dan has been great.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m impressed by the quality of the candidates.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there aren't any. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the senior manager of global talent acquisition at a healthcare data company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Treeline Inc.?

We needed sourcing support for the sales development representative role we were working on. Our goal was to source a minimum of 10 local sales development candidates over the course of 30 days.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

I initially had an introductory meeting with Treeline Inc.'s team to set the job position's parameters. The team set me up a profile in their internal tracking system so I could access the submitted candidates' information. Treeline Inc. did this in one day and started working on our project within 48 hours of that initial conversation. 

Treeline Inc. sourced candidates and presented them to me. Then, I would interview them and go through our standard interview process with my team. My company was responsible for the hiring and onboarding process.

What is the team composition?

I worked with three teammates from Treeline Inc.: two recruiters and an account manager. I worked more closely with one recruiter and the account manager.

How did you come to work with Treeline Inc.?
I had worked with Treeline Inc. before and had an existing relationship with them.

We spent $6,750 on this project.

We worked with Treeline Inc. from May–June 2024.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Treeline Inc. committed to sourcing 10 candidates for me and delivered 15 candidates. We ended up hiring three of the presented candidates.

How did Treeline Inc. perform from a project management standpoint?

Treeline Inc. was quick to respond throughout the entire month. We communicated mainly by phone calls and emails, and the team had their own tracking system that we used to write notes back and forth.
Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

I want to highlight Jezel (Account Manager), who was my main point of contact. After our engagement, she followed up with me a couple of times while we were still interviewing. She went above and beyond and was quick to respond to me.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Treeline Inc. delivered beyond what they had initially promised and did a good job sourcing candidates. The team was great at staying in close communication with me throughout the process.

Are there any areas they could improve?

A few candidates were unresponsive. Although this wasn't Treeline Inc.'s fault, the team could improve by communicating closely with the candidates throughout the process. 

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

If you don't like the candidates presented by Treeline Inc., be transparent and specific with your feedback. The team can adjust their search and take feedback very well.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing we can come up with at this point. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

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

Working with Treeline Inc. has been a great experience. They’ve provided exceptional candidates, and whenever they source us with someone that isn’t great, they trigger their policy of giving us a replacement within 30 days.

How did Treeline Inc. perform from a project management standpoint?

Treeline Inc.’s team delivers on time, stays on budget, is good at communication, and has a portal where we can log in and manage all of the candidates, making the process very quick.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Treeline Inc.’s user portal is one of the things I enjoy the most about working with them. I can manage multiple candidates across multiple regions without having to go back to different emails or phone calls.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think there’s anything they can improve on. They’ve done a great job, and compared to other recruiters we’ve worked with in the past, Treeline Inc. gets the job done faster and provides higher-quality candidates.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I recommend people working with Treeline Inc. because they’re a great, thorough company.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the commercial director for a company that provides educational software to schools and school districts; we support the development and improvement of the school climate and culture from the perspective of parents, students, and staff. In addition, we also support the development of student's social and emotional skills through assessments, progress monitoring tools, intervention resources, and lessons. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Treeline Inc.?

We had several openings for regional sales managers and needed to fill them quickly with high-quality people. We hired Treeline Inc. to help us with the recruitment process.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We provided Treeline Inc. with a description of the positions we were looking for and met with their recruiters to discuss them. After that, we started meeting with candidates; Treeline Inc. provided an intuitive and easy-to-use portal to see all the different roles we posted and the applicants for each. The portal also listed comments from the recruiters and the applicant's resume. 

We reviewed the applications every night and provided feedback to Treeline Inc.; they helped set up interviews based on our availability. They also went through the process of negotiating offers and getting people on board. Treeline Inc. used LinkedIn and a few other avenues to find people that matched what we were looking for. 

What is the team composition?

We worked with Jezel (Account Manager) and Rachel (Director of Partnerships). There was a team that we talked to briefly about specifications as well. 

How did you come to work with Treeline Inc.?

We found them online. 

How much have you invested with them?

We invested between $60,000–$70,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together between March 2022–January 2023.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We were working with other recruiting agencies, but Treeline Inc. provided us with the most candidates that aligned with our needs and were of the highest quality. The candidates they provided were some of the quickest candidates we’ve ever had to onboard, get started, and pitch and sell for us. We’ve seen good production from all of their candidates, and they fit into our company very well. 

Treeline Inc. did a great job of screening the candidates to ensure that the individuals would be good team members. If we have more positions open, we will return to them. 

How did Treeline Inc. perform from a project management standpoint?

The team did a great job of communicating, and they were incredibly responsive. Their project management separated them from other agencies because they were so easy to work with. We used their portal to communicate and keep up with candidates. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

They did a great job of discovery to make sure that what they were looking for aligned with what we needed. They continued to refine their process for narrowing down candidates based on our feedback. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

The only thing we can come up with is that we wish there was a longer replacement guarantee. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Commit to being very responsive for them; they will be as responsive as you are, so if you work with them, commit to the process.

We needed help in finding a business development manager for the territory of South States.

What is the team composition?

I worked directly with two people from Treeline Inc.

How did you come to work with Treeline Inc.?

We found Treeline Inc. through a referral.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent somewhere between $20,000–$25,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from June–July 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Overall, I ended up getting around 20-25 resumes from Treeline Inc.. From there, the candidates go through a phone screen, a preference assessment, a behavioral assessment, and then another call after that. Over the course of our engagement with Treeline Inc., they did a really good job of providing a steady stream of candidates to feed that pipeline and finding a candidate that suited our needs based on my description and our refinements along the way.

How did Treeline Inc. perform from a project management standpoint?

Treeline Inc. performed well in terms of project management. They were very communicative — we had regular check-ins along the way to keep refining down and helping them hone in on the right candidate for us.

We typically communicated through email and video conferences through Zoom.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We were most impressed with Treeline Inc.’s effective communication and application of the data points and the prerequisites that we had. I was also impressed with the initial phone call that we had. They had their whole team on a Zoom call, and they narrowed down what we were looking for right out of the chute. I didn't have to do a whole lot of tweaking from there - they came close to the mark a few times until we eventually made a hire.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I have no complaints. I’ve only worked with a handful of other recruiters in the past, and this was the best experience I’ve had.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make sure to be very clear about what you're looking for. That can include any kind of certifications that you require as well as the type of background you’re looking for in a candidate.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of operations for a consulting and research firm for industrial companies. We are a membership-based research and advisory firm focused on driving Industrial Transformation success for our clients.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Treeline Inc.?

We were actively recruiting for sales positions, but we didn’t have much luck on our own. We did not have the resources to do a lot of strong external sourcing and recruiting of candidates and we were looking for some outside help to fill the open positions.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Treeline’s recruiters actively went out and found people that were interested and available for our position. They vetted applicants and passed them on to us. From there, we evaluated resumes and the information provided. If we liked a candidate, we gave Treeline a thumbs up and managed the recruitment process moving forward.

What is the team composition?

I worked with two account managers, but Treeline had several recruiters. 

How did you come to work with Treeline Inc.?

We worked with Treeline before. We chose to work with them again because of their recruitment model.

How much have you invested with them?

We paid $5,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from February–March 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

In a month, Treeline pushed 55 interested and active candidates to us. From those, we interviewed 20 applicants, while three candidates made it to the final interview. We ended up hiring two talents. 

How did Treeline Inc. perform from a project management standpoint?

Treeline managed the project well. We had two people dedicated to our account, and they were always responsive and helpful. If I had any concerns or issues, they would get back to me within the same day. We communicated through email and Zoom. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Treeline's SaaS based recruitment model was unique. Other firms would offer a full, end-to-end recruiting service on a percentage fee basis that was usually high. Meanwhile, Treeline’s model was unique as they had an online platform and would only do the frontend work of sourcing candidates. It was much less expensive because we would be paying a flat fee instead of a percentage of the candidate’s salary. 

It was an excellent service since we had limited internal resources to do active recruiting but weren’t interested in spending high percentage rates. Treeline gave us a cost-effective way to recruit. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

There isn't a lot to add here.  They did a really good job.  If anything, I'd suggest maybe honing in a bit more on the desired skills, but when asked to focus more on this, they responded and delivered as asked.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be clear with your requirements in your job description. In addition, stay on top of Treeline’s platform — whenever you get new candidates, you need to be available every day to give applicants a thumbs up or down. Treeline will be pushing a large volume of candidates, and you need to be there communicating on whether you want to push through a candidate. The more responsive you are and the more comments you leave, the better the recruiters will do in getting you the right candidates.

We were in need of top-of-the-line sales candidates that can fit into our company.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Treeline Inc. is providing us with HR consulting services to help us find high-quality professionals in a short amount of time.

They would screen each candidate and qualify them before submitting them to us, along with a summary and background information. The recruiter is also required to make sure the person is aligned with the company and the role they’re being recruited for.

What is the team composition?

I’m mainly in contact with one person and I have no idea how many recruiters are working in the backend.

How did you come to work with Treeline Inc.?

My company was already using the services of Treeline Inc. before I joined, so I’m not sure how the partnership started.

We’re impressed with their ability to find top sales talent with agility.

Are there any areas they could improve?

What challenge were you trying to address with Treeline Inc.?

We were looking for an account director, and we were having a tough time looking for candidates. We needed help finding someone who was multilingual and had extensive business experience.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Treeline Inc. helped us hire an account director. First, we gave them a detailed walkthrough of the position. We enumerated specific tasks, location requirements, and the expertise we needed. Additionally, we described our company culture.

Additionally, Treeline Inc. asked us specific questions to help them pinpoint our ideal candidate. Through this intake interview, they started to understand the type of person who would succeed in the role. The team then crafted a thorough list of requirements and sent it to us. 

Eventually, they started to present potential candidates. We then selected the best prospect while the team handled the negotiation process.

What is the team composition?

I worked with three people, including a project lead and two recruiters.

How did you come to work with Treeline Inc.?

Someone in our organization had used them in the past and recommended them to me. I reached out to Treeline Inc. and had a great initial conversation with them to review our requirements.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent between $10,000–$49,000. Specifically, we paid them 20% of the candidate’s starting salary.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The team was very considerate of the process and sent us high-quality resumes immediately. Furthermore, the teammate they helped us find was phenomenal. 

I felt positive enough about the Treeline Inc. team that I recommended them to a colleague.

How did Treeline Inc. perform from a project management standpoint?

Treeline Inc. acted very fast and communicated very well with us through phone calls and email. They did a great job of supporting us. When one of their recruiters went on vacation, someone was immediately there to fill in for them.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their professionalism was outstanding. Treeline Inc. was extremely thorough and ensured that we were on the same page before they started looking for candidates. They listened to us and did a great job working with the candidate to close out the process.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing they could’ve done better.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I highly recommend reaching out to them as soon as possible. Treeline Inc. is well worth the fee. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the VP of human resources of an information security advisory. We connect our clients with subject matter experts in the industry.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Treeline Inc.?

We were looking to hire sales talent to expand our team.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We’ve been working with Rachel (Director of Partnerships) for five years now. She comes to our office, meets with the head of our sales, and we explain to her the profile and skills we’re looking for in potential sales staff. Since she knows the project’s scope, she recommends candidates that we later interview to augment our team.

What is the team composition?

Rache has been our main point of contact since the start of the project.

How did you come to work with Treeline Inc.?

They were already working with our company before I got here, and I took over that relationship when I joined.

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve been working together since January 2016, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They’ve made numerous placements of talented and qualified individuals for our business. They understand our business, so we get quality recommendations that would fit us right on target.

How did Treeline Inc. perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re exceptional; Rachel is available through email or phone calls anytime we need something, even if it’s after hours or early in the morning — their interpersonal skills are great. Also, they’re always on top of the candidates and responsive whenever we want to reschedule anything. In terms of technology, they use an in-house system where they manage their candidates’ profiles.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their capacity to understand our needs and their ability to recruit qualified candidates that meet our requirements is what stands out to me — they have a good sense of our project. Other providers often send several resumes that I have to go through, but they take the time to figure out everything for me based on my requirements. It’s been easy to work with Rachel, and I’ve been enjoying this partnership.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think there’s anything they can improve on.

Any advice for potential customers?

It’s essential to build a relationship with them; make sure that you know what’s being communicated to Treeline Inc.’s team members who are doing the outreach to candidates so everyone understands the project’s scope.
