Case Study: Helping a HealthTech Startup Find Specialist Talent

Client Overview:

A fast-growing HealthTech startup needed to quickly expand its team by hiring highly specialized professionals, including oncology and mental health experts, along with a DevOps specialist experienced in the medical domain. The startup had engaged a traditional HR partner but struggled to find suitable candidates despite investing 30 days into the process.

Challenges:

• Unqualified Leads: Despite working with a traditional HR partner, the skillsets of the candidates did not align with the specialized roles required.

• Time Wasted: The startup had already lost a month in their hiring process without success, impacting their operations and growth timeline.

• Budget Constraints: The costs involved with their traditional HR agent were high, putting pressure on the company's hiring budget.

Delvix’s Approach:

Recognizing the urgency and unique demands of the HealthTech industry, Delvix offered a tailored solution by providing a 5-day free trial of its Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) service.

1. Understanding the Client: During the trial, Delvix’s team spent the initial days conducting thorough conversations with the startup's team to gain deep insights into their company culture, compliance requirements, pay scales, and precise skillset expectations.

2. Candidate Search & Presentation: After the discovery sessions, Delvix swiftly shortlisted and shared a few CVs, ensuring a strong alignment with the client’s specific needs. Remarkably, by the 5th day of the trial, from just six resumes presented, the client found their ideal match. This early success highlighted Delvix's capability in understanding and delivering on complex, specialized requirements.

3. Efficient Screening Process: Once the client confirmed interest, Delvix’s recruitment team conducted several rounds of screening, assessing not only technical skills but also cultural fit. A video call between the selected candidate and the startup's talent team was arranged to conduct both general and technical interviews.

Results:

• Reduced Turnaround Time: The client hired their desired candidate by Day 16 of the process, reducing their overall hiring time by 45%.

• Cost Savings: Compared to their previous HR partner, the client saved 37% on recruitment fees, making Delvix an economical and efficient alternative.

• Dedicated Support: Throughout the journey, Delvix provided the client with a full-time Virtual Assistant, who maintained seamless communication between the startup’s departmental heads and talent team, ensuring smooth candidate-client coordination.

Conclusion:

By leveraging Delvix’s RPO services, the HealthTech startup overcame their initial hiring challenges, securing highly specialized talent within a shorter timeframe and at a reduced cost. Delvix’s deep understanding of the client’s requirements, efficient process, and cost-effective solutions proved invaluable, resulting in a long-term partnership with the startup.
