At Candidate Labs, the recruiters they have brought on have done similar roles in the past, so they know exactly what to look for when it comes to a leadership role versus an individual contributor role.
We hired a great CRO in less than 60 days. With any other firm, this search would have taken six months. Hiring this person four months earlier means ramping sales sooner, which has a compounding effect as we grow exponentially.
They found, sourced, vetted and closed a Chief Revenue Officer. We are very excited about the candidate that we found through their work. They were very responsive, and conducted a thorough search with sound judgment in vetting candidates.
The team is one of the most methodical, organized, and strategic I've seen. We were able to have them drive the process so we could focus on the candidates. Even the onboarding experience was simple and fast.
Candidate Labs successfully filled multiple marketing roles in our company. The market is extremely competitive for these roles but they were able to laser in on the best candidates very quickly.
We hired Candidate Labs to head up our high-priority search for a VP/EVP of Marketing. From learning our business and creating a manifesto for candidates to coming prepared with calibration candidates, all interview notes were extremely thorough; they knew all the right questions to ask, leaving no stone unturned.
The people behind Candidate Labs are what make them so unique and qualified, and it's obvious just how much care and attention they put into their work so the outcome is even greater than what you planned for.
