Scaling up sales in the DACH region
I had the pleasure of working with pplwise during a crucial growth phase at Treatwell, as we were scaling up our GTM teams across the DACH region; and the impact was immediate.
From the moment pplwise came on board, it was clear we had a true talent partner rather than just a recruiter. Within the first month alone, they successfully delivered the first four hires – a pace that set the tone for what became an exceptionally productive collaboration. Over the course of just eight months, they helped us secure 24 hires for our GTM and CX teams, consistently maintaining high quality while moving at speed.
What stood out most was their ability to quickly understand our business, culture, and hiring needs, and translate that into a focused, effective hiring strategy. Stakeholder management was seamless – hiring managers trusted them as an advisor, not just a delivery function. They balanced data, intuition, and market insight to keep processes efficient and candidate experience strong.
pplwise combined ownership, structure, and genuine care for both clients and candidates, a rare mix. I would gladly work together again and highly recommend them to any organization looking for talent partners who deliver real results, fast.
From day one, our focus was on building clarity and speed into the hiring process. We worked closely with Treatwell’s leadership and hiring managers to calibrate expectations, define Ideal Candidate Profiles from scratch, and align on what “good” looked like in each market. This foundation allowed us to move quickly without compromising on quality, even under significant hiring pressure.
The result
The numbers speak for themselves: 24 hires in just 8 months, and the first 4 hires almost immediately, just weeks after getting onboarded.
