Flatfair
Flatfair is a London-based company, that offers a deposit-free rental platform enabling tenants to pay a membership fee instead of traditional tenancy deposits, while providing landlords with extra protection.
The Challenge
The client had recently hired a new CTO and wanted to grow the team with 2 new permanent software engineers. We had previously worked with the HRBP @ Flatfair (over 7 years ago) who reached out to us as she knew we’d take the brief, cut through all the noise and provide quality candidates that were spot on from a tech stack and profile perspective. The client had tried to hire the role internally, but with no dedicated talent person the amount of direct applicants was becoming extremely hard to manage and the quality wasn’t there.
the solution
We met with the CTO & HRBP, went through the Senior & Mid-Level Developer briefs individually and understood the must haves. We actively took the role to market and headhunted Software Engineers with around 2 years Python, Django & AWS experience. We used both LinkedIn Recruiter and a searching tool called Cord (which we’re big fans of at Troi) to deliver a shortlist.
The results
Within 5 days of the brief, we delivered a shortlist of 5 candidates – Of the full shortlist - 80% went through to 1st Interview, 60% to 2nd interview and 60% to Final Interview. We offered 2 of the 3 candidates. The full interview process took around 2 weeks to complete with both candidates accepting their respective offers almost immediately, as we are big believers in pre-closing (continuously understanding a candidate's motivations and expectations THROUGHOUT the entire process, not just at the end).

Troi Search work on either a success-based or retained approach. Our success based hiring offers a flexible, low risk approach for your junior and mid level requirements. We work for free until successfully placing the right candidate. For senior and niche requirements our retained & project based approach dedicates the time and resource required for success at this level.

You still, however, get the benefit of working with experienced recruiters in a partnership style, but without the risk of a fixed-cost model where you could be concerned about your ROI. If it's a contingent approach, you have the ability to continue searching for candidates through your own channels whilst working with us to de-risk your hiring.
