<aside> 📣 Our client was The Mothership, an e-commerce aggregator start-up who had received €22m in seed investment in 2022 from a group of private investors. Their aim was to use these funds to find fresh new talent and expand their core teams of Growth & Marketing, Finance, Creative & Design, and Amazon.
Never Mind The Job Spec was introduced to the wider Founding team by one of the Co-Founders after her previous positive interview process experience with us - she was so WOWED by our Human-Centred Hiring model that she wanted to use it in her own business too!
To help reach our client’s goals, we took full ownership of the end-to-end talent acquisition and recruitment process by implementing our human-centred hiring process, developing the talent brand and reducing the time to hire.
At its core, our Human-Centred Hiring model fuses together positive candidate experience, talent brand advocacy and values-based evaluation.

From this, we saw a 70% increase in female hires and a 40% increase in ethnically diverse hires.

Our keen focus on candidate experience, talent brand and values contributed to attracting and hiring 10 exceptional new hires across several vital teams.
The 10 key hires we made increased our client’s social currency, and we were also able to establish a culture where feedback is viewed as currency for time. Today, our client continues to improve and grow their team, while also providing their employees with the support and tools to succeed.
