Before: The challenge without Instaffo

As the central IT service provider for Volks- und Raiffeisenbanken, Attruvia AG relies on a wide range of tech and governance talent. Despite having a professional recruiting team, the pool of applicants via traditional job boards and active sourcing was becoming increasingly depleted. Visibility as an employer brand was limited, which posed an additional hurdle, especially for new brand launches or niche roles.

Negative consequences

• Increasingly more effort for the same or fewer applicants
• High coordination effort due to parallel active sourcing, headhunters, and advertisements
• Limited access to new, suitable talent pools
• Long time-to-hire for roles that need to be filled repeatedly

Now: Recruiting with Instaffo

Attruvia has been using Instaffo since 2017, with a significant increase in usage since 2022. The combination of internal active sourcing expertise and active talent outreach by the Instaffo team has been particularly successful:

• Tailored talent pre-selection by the Instaffo Active Sourcing Team
• Binding exchange every four weeks to optimize processes
• Establishment of so-called hubs that can be accessed by several teams simultaneously
• Transparent communication and individual support through dedicated customer success
• Employer branding support through targeted placement and messaging

‍

Positive Outcomes

• 7 hires in 2022, 9 hires already in the first half of 2023
• Successful placements in roles including: Consultant, Product Owner, Java Developer, System Administration, IT Security
• Strong fit of the recruited talent with high retention and low turnover
• High satisfaction in specialist areas thanks to clear expectation management
• Break-even point of the contract already reached after three successful placements

“Instaffo not only provides us with suitable talent, but also understands our internal processes and adapts to them. The combination of technology, support, and continuous dialogue makes all the difference.”

Conclusion

For Attruvia, Instaffo is more than just a recruiting tool—it is a strategic partner in change. With targeted direct outreach, active dialogue, and high process quality, the platform successfully fills even hard-to-fill roles. Especially when used in conjunction with internal structures such as active sourcing and job posting processes, Instaffo is becoming an integral part of modern recruiting at Attruvia.
