Keepabl - Talenty

The Situation

Keepabl’s Privacy Management Software solution is GDPR-in-a-box for busy professionals looking after Privacy in their organisations, making it intuitive and simple to implement world-class Privacy Governance. Keepabl is well-positioned to capitalise on this new market with their award-winning platform. As a result, they needed to start building out teams to assist with customer acquisition and engagement.

Wary of repeating previous experiences with commission-based recruiters, they were keen to de-risk the recruitment process while ensuring these critical first hires met business needs.

The Outcome

We went back to basics and talked through the actual day-to-day activity in the roles, identifying the business needs and ensuring they would be as attractive as possible to our agreed target personas.

This ensured that we were inundated with qualified candidates. For a marketing position, it was about building growth and early responsibility into the role. This gave us the pick of hungry young marketeers and helped us to fend off higher offers from elsewhere.

When hiring for Customer Success we offered the chance to build the function from scratch and own customer relationships – making it super attractive to experienced CS candidates ready for a big new challenge.

We’ve also set up a free and GDPR-compliant ATS to post to a range of job boards including Linkedin and Indeed, generating a wealth of qualified candidates for both positions.

Interview processes were designed and navigated painlessly, leading to some tricky final decisions.

Ultimately Keepabl secured the talent they needed, despite higher offers elsewhere because the roles exactly aligned with the candidates’ long-term career aspirations.

I can honestly say this has been the best recruitment experience I’ve had in 15 years of working with recruiters and headhunters. I was really happy with the candidates, the speed, the care and the attention, the whole experience. The discovery phase around building the role was great and the candidate pack they created…wow. I didn’t think the job description could be made to matter so much.

It was refreshing to be working with a recruitment team that I could freely ask questions I wouldn’t necessarily feel comfortable asking an employee. It’s like having your own consigliere!

Talenty has de-risked recruitment for me and I’m genuinely looking forward to the next time I recruit. I’d recommend them to anyone.”
