Structure your hiring process.

Staycation: a Talent Acquisition process structured in 8 weeks

Staycation is a scale-up of around fifty employees making 15 to 20 hires per year, in full European expansion. Growth is fast, hiring needs are high, and a single in-house recruiter absorbs it all.

The starting point

• Time-to-hire too long. Roles stay open, business teams wait and compensate.
• Uneven candidate experience. Each team hires its own way, with a direct impact on the employer brand.
• Lack of standardisation. No shared interview structure or criteria, with a real operational impact.
• No data to steer. Impossible to know where the process leaks, or what a hire costs.

The goal we set together: a structured, measurable and scalable process that guarantees an excellent candidate experience despite the pace.

The assignment, in 4 phases

What was delivered

• A 5-stage interview process. TA screening, hiring manager interview, technical use case with debrief, final culture fit interview, collective decision and offer.
• A complete interview kit. Job descriptions, interview guides and scorecards, ready to use for every team.
• A steering dashboard. Key indicators tracked continuously to see what improves and what sticks.
• Trained teams. Managers and HR coached in workshops, so the process lives on without us.
