Starting a business venture when you are not from the ‘Startup World’ is, definitely, not a cakewalk. The initial stages of starting a business tends to get risky with twists and turns thrown in. This can be overcome successfully by hiring the hard-to-find talent on board.
‘Untappt’ shows how to attract startup talent, stay scrappy and still succeed. Their innovative hiring campaigns,
customized playbooks, startup assessment, personalised training, exclusive community with 24/7 support and brainstorming sessions have helped more than 60 startups scale up and in finding right candidates.
Among ‘Untappt’s many success stories are the two popular startups ‘Datawire’ and ‘Conjur’ that attracted smart talent with their creative hiring techniques. The Datawire crew created an interesting video for the profile they wanted to bring on board and ran a viral recruiting campaign. They also built multiple programs to attract each employee persona. Conjur created authentic microsites for each engineering position and replaced the boring job application process with a cool, custom puzzle, making it irresistible for the candidates not to respond.
“Experiencing the heartache of startup failures, disheartened employees because they weren’t a good fit – sparked our need to solve ‘WHY’ this is a startup-dream-killer, and how to fix it. The puzzle pieces came together with the realization there is a way to take back control of the hiring conundrum. If not solved, startups miss out on 28% of their potential success,” say the founders, Marie Burns and Tanya Bourque.
