How Loop scaled hiring without slowing down

Loop Earplugs was growing fast across new markets, and its recruitment had to grow with it. When we came in, hiring ran on 2 part-time recruiters, there was no active hunt, processes dragged, and the roles that mattered most struggled to attract the right people. 

Loop didn’t need a traditional recruitment supplier. Their all-in culture called for an all-in approach to hiring. We embedded an interim recruitment lead and 2 fulltime recruitment specialists in the team and paired hands-on hiring with employer branding, sharper processes and recruitment technology.

We built Loop’s EVP from scratch and translated it into a hiring experience and messaging that sounded like Loop and pulled in high performers, not just anyone. Then we went hunting, internationally, for the senior and specialist talent that scaling demands: Data Science, AI Engineering, Software Engineering, Performance Marketing and executive level. In seven months we made 86 hires, brought time to hire down, and recruited Loop’s permanent talent lead, so the operation we built could carry the roadmap without us.
