Yoto
Yoto is a London-based company specializing in interactive audio devices that provide screen-free entertainment and education for children.
The Challenge
We were originally introduced to Yoto’s people team, through their Head of Product, who we had done Embedded work for in the past. Yoto reached out as they were struggling to find high-quality candidates for their tech roles. Add in the fact the People & Talent Manager was single-handedly scaling a company that was doubling in size, an internal proactive sourcing approach was almost impossible.
the solution
After receiving confirmation and a brief from the client, we proactively searched for potential candidates based on skillset & industry sector experience. We proactively took the open roles to market and headhunted, selling Yoto to candidates was a jot given the mission of the company, it was very well received. We used various methods and platforms to source for 2 initial positions, Senior Embedded Software Engineer & Senior Product Manager. We managed the entire process from brief to offer stage.
The results
An initial 2 hires, with the first being filled 9 days after the role brief (quick even for our high standards). Following our success we were invited back a year later to fill 7 new positions in a newly formed “cluster”. The further 7 hires were across Embedded Engineering, Front End, Data & Cyber Security. We have a great relationship with Yoto & love working with them.
Hear what they had to say
Working with Troi has been a pleasure so far. The team is fun, down-to-earth, and knowledgeable. They really get under the skin of our briefs and turned tough to fill vacancies round from brief to offer stage in half the time it was taking before. They genuinely just want the best for business and candidate. It doesn’t feel like you are working with a recruiter when working with Troi & Edge1, they just feel like an extension of our team. We’d have no hesitation in engaging them on future spikes in recruitment.
