The most expensive part when hiring a backfill is the delay in progress in the time of vacancy.

pplwise’s Interim solution has helped us to fill in the gap, level up the People & Culture and Talent Acquisition department, and progress on critical projects while taking the time to find the right candidate to permanently take on the position.

— Christoph Ebm

The pplwise executive recruitment team is doing a great job by connecting the candidate very well with the company.

Their strengths lie in being fast, supportive and available whenever needed, ultimately leading to a successful hire.

Sourcing and Recruiting through pplwise allowed me to save valuable time on building candidate pipelines & find the right approach to nail recruitment by myself.

I could focus on building and running our core business while knowing the main tasks with high workload was covered by pplwise maintaining a great candidate experience and focussing on high quality candidates.

Me and my team regularly received a number of pre-qualified candidates that lead to great hires. I would recommend any founder working with pplwise who is facing bottlenecks in recruitment.
