Martin Saunders, CEO, Edshed
Edshed were experiencing significant growth, which meant that the founder didn’t have the additional time he needed to hire. Learn about what we did to help with their hiring, find the right people and help them grow 100% in 9 months during the pandemic.
Based in Worcestershire in a rural town is an unusual place to start an Edtech startup, but Martin Saunders only realised he had a runaway success on his hands when his weekend project started to gain users in countries like Bahrain and Turkmenistan, after building a small team from his friends, he needed a solution to help him support growth through hiring.
The Talent Hackers worked with EdShed to hire 50% of their team in 2019/20 taking them from a 10 person startup to a 19 person scaleup.
We managed the whole process from end to end, resulting in significant growth for Edshed and them being named a Top 50 growth Edtech in Europe 2020.
Having helped him implement an ATS, employer social media marketing, direct hiring and candidate management he is now well placed for the next stage of growth.
“You get a better result, because it’s just done in a better way.
We’ve not had a single person leave us, since we started recruiting with talent hackers which has meant we’ve had the right people, who have really helped our company grow.
We’ve hired 9 people 9 in months, despite the pandemic & its unique challenges & being able to find such high quality people with a partner like Talent Hackers has been crucial to our survival this past year.
It’s less hassle, better people, costs less. You can’t get much better than that can you really!”
