Client Description

The largest SaaS solution provider in Russia and the CIS
Task

For over six months, the company was unable to fill the position of Development Manager on its own. The challenge lay in the profile’s specificity: they needed an experienced manager capable of both hands-on work and fulfilling managerial responsibilities.
Key requirements

  • Proven product development experience of 4+ years.
  • 5+ years of experience managing a matrix team.
Process

Since the company had already extensively searched the market, we focused on candidates within our internal database, actively engaging with them and leveraging our network. We also developed a search map of product companies with the relevant technology stack for the position. Additionally, we utilized social media and conferences to source strong candidates.
Result

Thanks to our extensive network, we motivated a candidate of interest to the company to meet with us. Previously, the specialist had declined direct communication with the company, but since we had known him for over a year, he agreed to a brief call, where we explained the challenges and opportunities of the role.
