Building a Dream Team in the EdTech Space
The Challenge
Blossom Educational, a dynamic EdTech company located in Northwood, UK, was facing a unique recruitment challenge. They were experiencing rapid growth and needed to build a high-performing team across various departments: Account Executives for their GTM team, talented Designers, and experienced Senior Marketing staff. However, the EdTech industry is highly specialised, and Blossom was determined to find individuals who weren’t just qualified but also passionate about educational technology and a strong fit for their company culture.
Finding the Perfect Fit:
Blossom knew the importance of a strategic recruitment partner who understood the nuances of their industry and location. WüNDER_TALENT stepped in, offering a personalised approach that went beyond traditional recruitment practices.

A Structured Approach
We helped Blossom establish a structured recruitment process, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience for both the company and candidates. This process included clearly defined stages, communication protocols, and defined timelines.
Finding Passionate Talent
Attracting candidates who were not only skilled but also passionate about the EdTech space was crucial. We tailored our strategy to emphasise Blossom’s mission and values through targeted marketing campaigns and candidate interactions.
High-Touch Candidate Care
Blossom is a company with a strong culture, and finding individuals who fit in was paramount. We implemented focused
video calls, personalised communication throughout the process, and an email marketing campaign with regular updates. This nurturing approach ensured that candidates felt valued and informed.
