Hiring the right person into your startup or scaleup is critical but it can also be an incredibly time consuming and resource heavy challenge. When you’re screening countless numbers of CVs, coordinating early-stage interviews and juggling competing priorities, it’s easy for exceptional candidates to slip through the cracks.
And let’s face it, as a business Founder or C-Suite Leader, is this really the most effective use of your time?
At Hera, we’re here to help you reclaim your time and focus by streamlining the process and delivering only the most relevant, high-quality talent. Because when your hiring strategy is efficient, focused, and rooted in expertise, better hires happen faster.
Too Many Applications, Too Little Time
Imagine having to scan through over 1,000 CVs for one job role. It’s not a good use of time for hiring managers and it’s certainly frustrating for the candidates involved too. It’s a burden that is arguably unnecessary and it’s probably causing you to miss out on top-notch candidates who could otherwise be headhunted.
If that’s not enough, consider this… almost 80% of roles are filled through referrals. Hence, waiting for applications to pour in and then filtering through them, probably isn’t going to get you anywhere fast!
Recruiters Can Help Close the Gap
The hiring process, especially for key roles, can quickly become overwhelming. This can lead to missed opportunities and wasted time. By working with a recruitment partner who understands your business, your values, and the calibre of talent you need, you can navigate this more efficiently and with greater confidence.
Our approach is rooted in relationships and not just filling roles. We work closely with both clients and candidates to create thoughtful, well-matched connections that lead to long-term success. It’s not about volume, it’s about alignment.
The Power of Networks and Referrals
As we said above, almost 80% of roles are being filled through referrals, and we can certainly vouch for that being true. But accessing that hidden market takes time, trust, and reach and that’s where Hera can come in. With an established network and a reputation built over 18+ years, our ‘day jobs’ are to tap into talent pools that aren’t visible on job boards or in applications and we’re always working tirelessly to present our clients with candidates that they wouldn’t otherwise find.
Your Perception In The Market Matters
Beyond candidate shortlists, recruitment is also about how your business is perceived in the market. A smooth, human centred and respectful hiring experience says a lot about your brand. Hera helps clients craft processes that reflect who they are and what they stand for, ensuring they attract not just great candidates whilst elevating their brand name within the market.
So, why risk losing brilliant candidates to a clunky hiring process when there’s a better way?
If you’re a hiring manager who’s tired of wading through endless applications and still not quite finding the right fit, we get it and you’re certainly not alone.
There’s real value in having a more focused, efficient approach to hiring and one that not only saves you time but actually helps you connect with the kind of people who’ll make a real impact in your business.
If that sounds like something worth exploring, we’d love to chat!
