Hiring NLP Engineer
Their next Senior Applied NLP Engineer had to be technical, customer-centric, german-speaking, and from a diverse background. This position was crucial for assisting clients with deepset’s offerings. Boosting inbound recruitment strategies with posting on Linkedin and communities, coupled with a commitment to a diversity quota, resulted in a strong hire for the role.
Building a recruiting data dashboard
In order to make informed hiring decisions, and give visibility to the investors and stakeholders, we created a comprehensive recruitment dashboard on Notion. This tool gave clear insights into recruitment performance and trends, enabling more strategic decision-making regarding hiring and headcount planning.
Hiring in the US
deepset’s strategy involved scaling into the US. One of the first hires made was the Senior Talent Acquisition Manager who significantly accelerated the company’s growth in sales and marketing roles on the ground. Secondly, market mapping became an essential tool in identifying potential candidates. By focusing on target companies across various funding stages but without established processes, deepset could adaptively "build the plane while flying it," ensuring a steady supply of talent for critical roles.
Saving costs on traditional recruiting agencies
Acelr8 took over a set of roles that would be filled by internal recruiters or external agencies. Not only successfully taking care of the full cycle recruiting of the Director of Finance and the Senior NLP Engineer, but also avoiding paying a free per hire.
