The challenge
KlientBoost lost clients and made layoffs in Q1 2020 as the pandemic hit, then faced a sudden surge in demand for online marketing help and needed to grow fast. Traditional hiring, reviewing resumes, accounting for candidate drop off, running face to face interviews, was too slow for the pace of growth needed, and the company needed workplace ready hires who fit its culture with minimal training.
The approach
CEO Johnathan Dane used Vervoe’s grading and ranking to build a shortlist of pre-vetted candidates for every open role, a bench he could pull from immediately when a new seat opened instead of starting a search from zero each time.
The results
- Team grew from about 40 to about 100 people in six months
- 5 backup candidates available per role straight from the talent bench
- Company passed $1 million in monthly recurring revenue in December 2020, a long-held goal
The most impactful thing is that we’ve been able to quickly get five other people for a position. We can pull applicants out very quickly and get them subbed into the game.
With Vervoe, we were able to hire stronger candidates and better culture fits. Our speed to hire has dramatically increased as well, so I can keep pouring gas on the fire.
