Before: the challenge without Instaffo

Steadforce was looking for an efficient way to find qualified candidates while freeing up time for its internal HR team. Traditional headhunting methods often led to uneven interviews: candidates were often poorly prepared and did not view the exchange as being on equal footing. In addition, there was a lack of capacity and expertise to continuously optimize job postings, wording, and external communications.

Negative consequences:

• Poor quality candidates through traditional headhunting
• High manual effort in sourcing and screening
• Overworked recruiting team with little time
• Inefficient processes and therefore a lot of extra effort

Now: Recruiting with Instaffo

Steadforce has been using Instaffo for around six months. The platform pre-qualifies and matches suitable candidates before the first interview even takes place. This saves the recruiting team time and provides them with direct support in approaching candidates.

In addition to matching, Steadforce also benefits from Instaffo's consulting approach:

• Optimization of job postings and wording
• Support with external communications, including on social media
• Close support for the in-house recruiting team
• Significant time savings through structured processes

Positive Outcomes

• 20+ interviews with qualified candidates via Instaffo
• 80% of matched profiles lead to an initial interview
• 16 successful hires in the fields of tech, IT, and data science
• Significantly less internal effort due to reduced time and technical workload

With Instaffo, Steadforce was able to make the recruiting process significantly more efficient. Despite still having some hiring to do, the added value is already clear: from a high interview rate to noticeable relief for the HR team to valuable input for job postings and employer branding. Close collaboration and flexible communication ensure that Steadforce reaches the right candidates faster—and on equal footing.
