To meet the short timelines, we assembled a dedicated project team that was larger than our standard recruitment setup. Our team included six recruiters and a dedicated account manager focused on finding technical talent. We acted as an extension of their team, managing the recruitment process while advising on the local operational requirements in Poland. This included mapping the local market for both talent and physical office space.

Technical roles hired:

• Head of Engineering and HR Director
• Senior Product Managers and Software Engineers
• Technical Customer Support Engineers
• Finance and HR staff for the Shared Service Centre

Some of the activities include:

• Market mapping for talent and office locations
• End-to-end hiring and candidate screening
• Consultancy on Polish HR and payroll processes
• Developing job descriptions that attract top engineers in Poland

Over 18 months of cooperation, our team reviewed more than 1,000 candidates and conducted 600 interviews. This resulted in 166 successful hires for their new hub in Krakow. We also secured their physical office space. By using our group resources and a fixed-fee model, Grass Valley achieved a 50% reduction in recruitment costs compared to standard agency fees. We continue to provide recruitment and consultancy for Grass Valley today.
