Estudio de caso global M

Descripción general

La startup SaaS de Genomics, recientemente financiada, buscaba ampliar su equipo de tecnología, con ingenieros senior de backend adicionales con sede en el Reino Unido y un ingeniero de control de calidad. El control de calidad ayudaría con el crecimiento y aliviaría parte de la carga de pruebas de los muy ocupados ingenieros superiores.

¿Por qué Global M?

Global M had been consulting with Lifebit during the early stages of their development as a Startup. We had been advising on the hiring of Senior Machine Learning Engineers and found them a talented Engineer from MIT in the USA. This prior-trust enabled us to work together in a way that we could hit the ground running, having honest and straight forward conversations with Senior Stakeholders from the start.

Desafío

As a startup about to move into a scale-up phase that was totally new to them, Lifebit required Global M to help build out their hiring process for tech positions, setting up clear lines of communication, reporting and advising on technical interviewing / tests and diversity hiring. 

Our aim was firstly to deliver a pipeline of strong senior backend engineers, who were experienced using a very modern tech stack, i.e. Node.js, Typescript, JavaScript, MongoDB and AWS. The challenge was to attract this top London talent and negotiate a remuneration package that Lifebit could afford, as a young and early stage startup. Secondly, Global M were to make at least 2 hires in 3 months of working with Lifebit. Thirdly Global M were tasked to concentrate on diversity hiring. Our challenge was made harder due to Covid-19, which made candidates unsure about moving to companies within industries that could be affected by the pandemic. We were able to use our understanding of Lifebit, the tech market and Life Science industry, to reassure top “passive” candidates that Lifebit was a good move for their careers and they would be moving to an industry that was stronger than ever at this time.

Integramos 1 Talent Partner remoto/in situ, que trabajó en estrecha colaboración con un Account Manager. El Talent Partner obtuvo acceso al ATS de Lifebit, que fue Factible. Al socio de talentos se le asignó la tarea de buscar directamente, proyectar videos y presentar nuevos candidatos para los puestos de ingeniero, además de gestionar las solicitudes directas de fuentes externas. Esto permitió una comunicación rápida y ver y actuar sobre bloqueos en el proceso de contratación. También utilizamos un tablero de Trello para brindarle al gerente de contratación una vista de nivel superior del proceso de contratación/candidato. Trello se utilizó como parte importante de nuestras reuniones semanales del comité de contratación con el gerente de contratación y su socio comercial de recursos humanos. Permitió al socio de talentos presentar claramente a los candidatos para ser considerados para su presentación en la entrevista de primera etapa con Lifebit.

El socio de talentos y el gerente de cuentas tuvieron reuniones diarias por la tarde para mantener las cosas ágiles y en movimiento. Trabajando estrechamente con un coordinador de recursos humanos/socio comercial, pudimos considerar un candidato que requería patrocinio de la India.

Resultados

2 contrataciones senior en Node/Javascript Stack: 1 ingeniero backend senior y 1 ingeniero de control de calidad senior. 1 x Contratación de Diversidad.

Global M aimed to make a diversity hire from its inclusive outreach strategies. We managed to include 2 female QA engineers in the final shortlist for the role, one of which required visa sponsorship and ended up being hired by Lifebit.
