HOVER | RPO

The Challenge

HOVER is a 3D technology company that creates fully measured, customizable 3D models of any home. Talented Recruiting was asked to come in and build out an entire design team, starting with the Head of Design. We utilized the “Recruiting as a Service” model and embedded ourselves in with the existing design team. Once we filled the HOD role, we continued to play an integral part in securing all key design hires to take the company into its next stage of growth.

To deliver a fantastic candidate experience and achieve our hiring goals Talented Recruiting starts by doing a deep dive to get a solid understanding of the business and upcoming challenges.  To get started we worked through:

• Questionnaire: Using time-tested onboarding questions, we met with HOVER’s VP of Product to begin forming the parameters and benchmarks for the ideal candidates and the timeline to hire them. We also met with the existing design team to learn more about the culture. 

• Job Description: We worked with HOVER on over 6 job descriptions to make sure they attracted the talent we needed.

  • Head of Design

  • Brand/Communications Designer

  • Principal Designer 

  • Product Designer 

  • UX Researcher

Through the process monitored and updated our pipeline and white-glove serviced referrals and inbound candidates. We uncover valuable contact information on candidates and it remained, as an added bonus for HOVER. For each role, we dove into our existing database of high caliber candidates and found some great matches. We lead meetings and created interview playbooks added specific target areas per interviewer and set Greenhouse up with specific areas of coverage. 

Nailed It!

To build their design team, we set a 6-month target of 4 hires, 5 as a stretch. By the close of the contract, we onboarded 6 new hires! Whew!  Post our initial contact, the Talented team has gone on to secure another steller Product Designer and asked to take a lead on a Design Manager search. We loved our partnership with HOVER! 

Clearslide needed a Product Manager - Nailed it.

ClearSlide is a SaaS-based Sales Engagement platform that lets users share content / sales materials via email links or their viewer’s link in a ‘Live Pitch’. ClearSlide is designed for sales and marketing teams, accessible primarily via an annual subscription model.

The Need

Clearslide was behind the eight ball to hire a product manager to help with lead a new area of the business, leading online meetings and interactive content experience on their public API platform. With some recent turnover of some old timers and the product’s placement in the marketplace, before Talented Recruiting, they weren’t finding the caliber of candidates they wanted to lead this initiative.

The Outcome

Talented Recruiting entered the scene and immediately began to add qualified candidates to the pipeline. We used our technology text analysis tools to help optimize the job description to attract a wide array of diverse and hungry candidates. The hire took less than 3 months, our target. We found an articulate, thoughtful, hidden gem of a PM and worked closely together on the hiring and closing strategy. The offer was accepted, with a title of Senior PM and both parties ran off into the sunset together. Until Clearslide was acquired, and that was a shock to everyone!
