How we helped Laka expand into Europe with a key hire
Our strategy for scaling hiring in high-growth startups
Lessons on recruiting leadership talent fast
Started in 2017, Laka set out to transform bicycle insurance by connecting passionate cyclists all over the UK to form a community and protect their bikes. A better model for insurance was born. For once, people come first in insurance by fairly sharing the cost amongst each other.
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 the growth of the business.
The 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.
The result
Within 6 weeks, our talent business partners managed to introduce multiple qualified candidates and close the hire.
