The starting point

3 months
per hire

Thilo and Kamal, founders of Daato, were stuck in a classic growth problem: the company was scaling, but recruiting couldn't keep up. Every key hire was taking three months or longer.

The result: lost time, missed candidates, and a founding team burning too much energy on hiring. That's where we came in.

The approach

Structure, quality,
speed

Not a one-off fix, but a solid recruiting setup – from positioning through to the candidate experience.

01

Targeted positioning

Job postings and employer messaging tailored to the right audience. Less noise, more qualified applicants.

02

Candidate experience as a growth driver

A structured hiring process with clear, fast communication reduced drop-off. One candidate later became a client.

03

Scalable decision-making tools

Scorecards, interview guides, and clearly defined success criteria for confident, consistent hiring decisions.

04

Partnership beyond recruiting

Strategic support on team building all the way through to the successful acquisition by EQS Group.
