The Solution

Hardest, Most Important Roles Filled Faster - Not only is placing a CTO cost-intensive, but it can be a long, drawn-out process. In fact Kidaptive had been looking directly and with other agencies for over six months. Chief Technology Officers who fit a company’s particular culture are not easy to find, but with RecruitiFi, Kidaptive was able to harness the power of a community of expert agency recruiters to meet their candidate in 3 days, and hire him in 27.

Cost - Recruiting a Chief Technology Officer can be a costly endeavor, often running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars for a single placement. By using the RecruitiFi platform, Kidaptive was able to place their CTO for a flat fee of 14%.

Usability - Kidaptive found the RecruitiFi platform “seamless and incredibly easy to use.” They also made note of how responsive the account management department was at RecruitiFi, ensuring that all of their needs were met and questions answered in a timely fashion.

Communication - Calling and emailing with recruiters for a critical role such as Chief Technology Officer can be a time intensive process with a lot of back and forth. Kidaptive found that the RecruitiFi platform’s automatic status updates and chat feature allowed for an easy, seamless interaction with recruiters where a lot of communication cycles were eliminated or handled more efficiently through RecruitiFi.

In Their own words
“RecruitiFi helped us to find the absolute most important member of our team. It seems unbelievable to me that we were able to meet our CTO within three days and hire him for only 14%, but RecruitiFi made it happen.”
