How did an attractive job ad result in hire in just 2 weeks?
Repark: The future of urban parking startup uses WeAreDevelopers job ads for instant hire.
Project Overview
Repark began its journey to disrupt conventional ways to park inside metropolitan cities such as Vienna just before the pandemic started. A young startup from Austria intends to make the parking experience fast, smooth and pleasant for any driver. At the same time, it allows private parking owners to lend their space and earn money. Repark began its journey to disrupt conventional ways to park inside metropolitan cities such as Vienna just before the pandemic started. Currently, the startup is in the final developing stage before launching an automated platform available on Android and iOS operating systems.
- Founded in 2019
- 8 employees and growing
- Software automation & app development
Challenge
With the end of the pandemic on the horizon and secured funds for further development phases, Repark wants to grow the tech talent team to continue parking experience disruption.
Being located in Vienna while using the German language for inter-team communication and looking for software developers on the local market challenges the Repark founders. As most startups in the early stage do, they used external recruiting services but with no success. As the growing pressure builds up, having a potent disruption idea and elaborate application concept, the startup finds itself in a compromised position to support scale-up strategy and satisfy investors' expectations. It made Repark think about whole another approach.
Solution & Results
Repark approached WeAreDevelopers by booking a demo call to understand WeAreDevelopers recruiting products better. During the ‘get to know each other’ meeting, Repark explained their situation and intention to close several opened tech positions.
As with every new client, WeAreDevelopers tech talent advisors assessed client needs, project scope, and its level of attractiveness inside the niche talent market. Repark had doubts about using the conventional pay-per-hire (PPH) model or job ads. Our tech talent advisors suggested that job ads are a better fit since the company has an innovative idea and attractive project scope based on widely-accepted JavaScript programming language, plus a strong focus on building vibrant company culture. WeAreDevelopers job marketplace uses ads focused on three distinctive sections, proven to work with expectations from software developers and organized in 3 important areas:
- Scope of work
- Requirements
- Benefits
Since the initial placement job ad gathered multiple candidates in just one and a half weeks. WeAreDevelopers intuitive and flexible recruiting dashboard, alongside fast feedback from the startup representatives, brought the first hire in just 2 weeks overall. Repark wants to continue using WeAreDevelopers recruiting services when the necessity emerges.
