The Job to be done
In 2023, limehome aimed to hire 120 individuals. However, a restructuring within their talent team left them short on recruitment capacity. As limehome’s property count grew due to their success, there was an increasing need to bolster their operations department. To meet this need and tap into new international markets while expanding their national operations, limehome engaged pplwise.
The Approach
A dedicated Talent Partner was tasked with filling approximately 8 roles within the Operations department. This partner collaborated closely with hiring managers and the people department to guarantee a seamless candidate experience, secure high-quality talents, and expedite bureaucratic procedures, ensuring quick commencements.
The Result
Within the first 3 months, 10 out of 13 positions were already filled. The median Time to Hire was 30 days. This is 3.8 times faster than the average German company.
Notably, we facilitated limehome’s expansion into the Greek market by securing a pivotal hire in just 18 days, who then started in under 30 days.
During an activity period of 10 months between September 2023 and September 2024, pplwise worked on 31 roles. 3 months pplwise supported with 1 FTE and 7 months with 0.5 FTE.
- In total, 1925 candidates have been sourced and 378 pplwise interviews have been conducted that lead to 21 offers and 20 hires.
- 10 hires were made during the 3 months period with 1 FTE. 12 offers and 11 hires were made during the 7 months period with 0.5 FTE.
- 7 hires were made from sourced candidates, including a leadership role (Head of Architecture and Interior Design).
