Northwind Creators went from 0 to fully staffed in 14 days
A first-time agency owner used OFM Jobs to launch their entire team from scratch, hiring 8 vetted chatters and 2 managers in two weeks.
The figures in this example
- 14 days
- From no team to fully staffed
- 8
- Vetted chatters hired
- 2
- Managers hired
The situation
Northwind Creators started with no team at all. Its owner had never hired before and needed chatters and managers in place quickly.
What changed
- Roles for both chatters and managers were posted together and screened in the same pipeline.
- Skills tests filtered candidates before interviews, which matters most for someone who has not hired before and has no instinct for it yet.
- Onboarding material and a shift schedule were ready for the first day, so the new team could start straight away.
