The Ripple Effect of Recruitment
6 Micro-Hires, 1 Macro-Change
Our partnership with Rosslyn is an example of how a large part of our professional relationships are usually made… with a recommendation based on our track record for delivering in the SaaS & Software Engineering market. Rekiel Moss, our Principal Recruitment Consultant had previously worked with renowned leader Kevin Evans during his tenure as CTO at Active Ops (A confirmed speaker at our new Leaders Connected networking event...Click here to learn more!)
During this time, Rekiel played a crucial role in building their tech team, successfully filling roles across various departments. In just 12 months, we placed an impressive 20 candidates, significantly exceeding the initial requirement of just one. This achievement solidified our reputation as a leading SaaS recruiter to Kevin and marked a promising start. Notable placements during this time included:
.NET Developers
Lead .NET Engineers
1st, 2nd & 3rd Line Tech Support
QA Engineers
IT Directors
Directors of Engineering
Scaling with Rosslyn
Following this, when Kevin Evans transitioned to Rosslyn as the new Chief Technology Officer (CTO), the company was entering a period of rapid growth and transformation.
Recognising the importance of building a high-calibre software engineering tech team to support their expansion, Rosslyn sought out a recruitment partner with the expertise to find a small but integral group of roles including Team Lead that would shape the brand moving into the future. Their choice? MRJ Recruitment.
Under the leadership of Rekiel and CEO Jody, we used our usual recruitment processes (including our 6-step executive search process), sophisticated sourcing methods, and our extensive network of tech talent to successfully reduced the hiring process from two stages to one. This increased efficiency enabled us to quickly identify and engage the exact people needed for each of the 6 roles.
At Rosslyn, as with all our clients, we understand that the key to success isn’t necessarily in the volume of candidates, but the quality. We’ve seen the drawbacks of the scattershot approach used by other recruiters, and quite simply, we don’t believe it’s an effective way of working.
Excellence, not excess
While we're well-equipped to handle large-scale recruitment drives for building entire teams (check out our work with awaze for one example), we're equally adept at filling smaller roles with the same level of dedication. In our view, there's no such thing as a 'small position' in a business—only small people. Whether it's recruiting for a team of 30 or just 6, we put in the same effort to find the right fit for every position.
Instead of taking a 'throw everything at the wall and see what sticks' approach, we took our time to carefully curate a small, focused shortlist of candidates for each role. This allowed Rosslyn to review and veto options at their own pace.
During this period, we effectively established two product development teams, each comprised of a diverse range of engineering talent. These teams included:
- Principal Software Engineers
- Lead Software Engineers
- Senior Automation Engineers
- Mid-level and Junior Software Engineers
A Tailored Approach
With the latter Specialising in .NET, Angular, and Azure technologies, these teams have gone on to play pivotal roles in Rosslyn's ongoing success.
We have consistently tailored our recruitment approach to meet Rosslyn’s specific needs for each role - considering industry, company culture, and growth objectives at every step. This has allowed us to ensure that partnership remains aligned with Rosslyn’s evolving goals.
To date, the roles Rekiel has placed have gone on to do amazing things for the company and strengthened Rosslyn's already competitive position in the market. Our work with Rosslyn is a testament to our SaaS capabilities. We excel at delivering rapid and impactful solutions to our clients, as demonstrated by our success in powering this campaign or many of our others...
