Main objectives
- Attract top talent to work remotely in Canada
- Ensure that developer hires would be effective in a remote team
- Expand the leadership team with critical Director hires
The challenge
Running their own job ads on various job sites was not attracting the high-calibre talent they needed to build and support a world-class product. The leadership team were also spending too much time reviewing poor quality candidate applications.
It was important to source and screen candidates that would align with Isolocity's team culture - especially as a remote-first team that trusts people to get things done (with Quality in mind), and with little fuss.

The Solution
Collaborating closely Isolocity's management team, Funded.club's dedicated recruiter led each search through a proven process to success every time.
-
Kick-off calls for each candidate search with the key decision makers at Locally. Such detailed conversations and preparation were critical to deciding the tactics for each hire including sourcing channels, locations, screening process, salaries etc.
- Advance payment: We sent an invoice for a small advance against the fixed project fee before starting each search. This payment validated our Exclusivity for each search and ensured the customer had some "skin in the game".
-
Headhunting and job promotion: With a dedicated recruiter for each specific search, we got to work on headhunting specific candidates through outbound messaging and calls. We used a mix of different channels for our candidate research (not just Linkedin!) and some magic tools to get a candidate's attention.
-
Candidate screening: After pitching a candidate on an opportunity, our recruiters moved through their screening process with qualifying questions and used scorecards to decide on a shortlist of candidates for each role.
-
First candidates in 7 days: We presented a number of qualified candidates for quick feedback and iteration on the search.
-
Shortlist of candidates in 14 days: 3-5 candidates per search were shortlisted with all our screening notes and recommendations.
-
Interview scheduling: We scheduled and coordinated all interviews to ensure a smooth process.
- Weekly calls and reports: 20-min calls were booked each week to ensure we stay in sync with Locally and keep the process moving forward. Every search also generated a weekly report by email on a Friday to ensure all stakeholders were kept in the loop.
-
Final selection, offer and negotiations: We helped Locally negotiate fair offers and conditions for each specific hire.
All hiring managers were able to track the progress of their search in our free Applicant Tracking System (ATS) at any time, being able to see all notes and recommendations on all candidates - not just those on the shortlist. Such transparency helped in rapid decision and prevented FOMO in the recruiting process :)
Each project was "owned" by an experienced recruiter with the same local and industry knowledge. This dedicated recruiter interviewed all candidates and also kept the hiring manager updated. Such close project management by a single person allowed us to calibrate the search between the hiring manager's expectations and the candidate market. Each project was also overseen by our VP of Recruiting to keep project timelines on track and to act as a backup for the dedicated recruiter.
The Result
Isolocity hired and onboarded multiple developers and Directors in an average of 26 days from kick-off call to hire. Funded.club was able to accelerate the screening process by using video selection tools.
We helped the team negotiate salaries in in both Canada and the US for these roles and to source candidates with a proven track record of getting results.
Isolocity paid a low fixed fee per search, committed to Exclusivity on a job-by-job basis under Funded.club's standard terms and also earned a discount for buying a "job pack" of 3 projects part way through our hiring plan.
This approach allowed Isolocity's team to hire the best talent in the world while also saving $112k in recruiting costs compared with traditional recruitment agencies charging 25% of annual salary.

This not only saved us quite literally munltiple months of work in pre-screenings, but also efficient in finding candidates that we basically removed the need for a recruitment team altogether. this allowed us to focus resources on more critical things that every company should be doing, like building the product!"

"At Tesseract.io we are constantly looking for talents to join our ever-growing team. The Funded.Club team has helped tremendously in our hiring process. In addition to the responsiveness, they provide weekly summaries throughout the hiring progress. Candidates presented were pre-screened and of good quality. Candidates start streaming in very quickly after our kick-off meeting, usually within the same week. They've helped us with multiple technical positions that we previously struggled to fill. We will definitely use them for future hires. "
