The challenge

“We needed a recruitment partner that could scale with our company”

Laka is growing fast, to grow even faster they’re expanding across borders and setting foot in the cycling capital of Europe, Amsterdam. To do so, they were looking for an Operations Lead NL to help set up Laka in Europe. But their shortage of recruitment capacity made it hard to fulfil their hiring roadmap, which ultimately slowed down growth of the business.

The challenge

“We needed a recruitment partner that could scale with our company”

Our approach

We set up a team of experienced talent business partners, to find Laka the best operations professional out there. To kick off the process, we started by sourcing, screening and shortlisting qualified candidates within our exclusive talent pool and external sources.

Followed by managing the end-to-end process to decrease time-to-hire and providing an exceptional candidate experience.

“After our series A we were faced with new challenges we didn’t have before. Foremost, we needed a recruitment partner that could scale with our company. I really like the tiered fee approach, where we aim for mutual success in a fair way. But most importantly: finding candidates FAST! I can recommend RocketX, as their approach and offering is able to scale us across Europe successfully.”
