🤝 Collaboration Journey
Mangopay reached out to us in November 2023 seeking assistance in recruiting a Senior Database Administrator, a critical role they had been trying to fill for very long time. The challenge was not only to find a suitable candidate but to do it swiftly. Our mission was to fill this position with the right person as quickly as it is possible.
🔍 Proactive Recruitment Steps:
Multichannel Sourcing:
Leveraged platforms such as LinkedIn, GitHub, TeamTailor, and StackOverflow, and targeted groups for DBAs, reaching out to 20 potentials daily across various Polish locations.
Network Referrals:
Activated our extensive network, seeking referrals that led to thorough screening, narrowing down to 3 potential candidates.
Bot-Assisted Sourcing:
Employed advanced sourcing bots, enhancing our efficiency and widening our talent pool.
💼 The result of our cooperation:
Thanks to our strategic approach, we have received five strong applications within the initial days of the recruitment campaign. Two candidates were referred by our network, one person was introduced to us from the DBA group, and two other candidates came from a direct search. Following this, we conducted five online screenings. Three candidates were then sent to the client for evaluation, ultimately identifying one exceptional candidate. The whole recruitment process lasted up to 6 weeks.
🎉 Swift Onboarding Success:
Our selected candidate joined the Mangopay team in January 2024, marking the successful completion of the entire recruitment cooperation.
A big shoutout to Karolina Wonchala from Simply Talented for being our guiding star throughout the recruitment journey. From the get-go, Karolina set the stage with transparency, keeping MangoPay Hiring Team in the loop and providing detailed insights into DBA candidates and their expectations on the Polish market. What made the experience exceptional was her approach for keeping candidates well-informed about what to expect from the MangoPay Hiring Team – ensuring a seamless and transparent communication loop. But that's not all – Karolina's adaptability truly stood out. If ever Mangopay Hiring Team shared feedback like "Candidate X was too MS SQL oriented and not enough AWS skills and experience," she took the challenge. The next candidate? Less MS SQL, more AWS. Karolina challenged Hiring Manager decisions regarding recruitment, helping Hiring Team fine-tune the profile. Her approach allowed us find a perfect match of skills that the market had to offer.
