Kickdrum Case Study - Centered Layout

As Kickdrum entered a phase of rapid expansion, the internal recruitment function faced significant hurdles:

High Operational Volume
The end-to-end process spanning sourcing, initial vetting, and interview coordination required significant manual effort, becoming a bottleneck during high-growth.

Critical Vacancies
The departure of a key Senior Frontend Engineer created a major technical gap, threatening timelines for critical project deliverables.

Maintaining Candidate Quality at Scale
As the organization aimed to double its size, ensuring that every new hire aligned with the company's technical standards and culture remained a constant requirement.

Anzy Global integrated with Kickdrum's existing processes to streamline the talent pipeline and reduce the time-to-hire for technical roles.

Streamlined Candidate Vetting
By providing pre-vetted profiles, we reduced the internal review time, ensuring that only candidates meeting specific technical criteria reached the interview stage.

Process Management
We assumed responsibility for the operational aspects of recruitment, including candidate engagement and scheduling, to create a more efficient workflow.

Adaptive Search Strategy
In response to specific departures, we pivoted the search to identify candidates with advanced leadership capabilities to provide more long-term value to the team.

The partnership transformed Kickdrum's hiring function from a manual, high-pressure process into a streamlined engine for growth.

Successfully placed a Frontend Lead to replace a departing engineer. This hire not only filled the gap but leveled up the team's leadership and technical capabilities.

Reduced the internal recruiter's workload by 50-60%, eliminating operational bottlenecks.

Delivered high-quality, "ready-to-review" candidates, drastically reducing the time spent on initial screening.

Supported the company's journey as they doubled their headcount, ensuring the culture remained intact during rapid expansion.

Anzy Global feels more like an extension of my team than an external partner. They have taken over 50-60% of my workload, allowing me to focus more on strategic hiring initiatives. Their ability to consistently deliver quality candidates has been instrumental in achieving our hiring goals effectively.
