Before: The challenge without Instaffo

Spheos, an IT consulting firm specializing in digital strategies, faced the challenge of filling senior positions with candidates who had the right qualifications and values. The combination of high market demand, low candidate supply, and rapidly growing competition in tech recruiting made the search extremely difficult. Despite existing partnerships with recruiting service providers, the match accuracy was unsatisfactory, especially for senior positions.

• Time-consuming recruiting process
• Lack of candidates with the right soft skills and cultural fit
• Recurring frustration due to unsuitable applications
• Loss of efficiency in the two-person recruiting team due to limited resources

Negative consequences

• Time-consuming recruiting process
• Lack of candidates with suitable soft skills
• Recurring frustration when evaluating unsuitable applications
• Losses in efficiency became a serious problem
