After struggling to make several key hires within my new business, it was personally recommended to me that I work with WüNDER_TALENT for my new business venture. After they made several key hires within a short space of time, I made the decision to outsource our entire recruitment process to them. They are so passionate about what they do and have a unique approach to talent attraction and risk and reward, which made them feel like they were on our side rather than many other recruiters who just chase commission!. WüNDER_TALENT had a dedicated member of their team on-site with us, full-time, who quickly built strong relationships with our hiring managers and staff to understand our culture. The last thing we want is for a new starter to leave due to a clash of values or cultural unease and that’s what separates WüNDER_TALENT from everyone else… they get us and know who would fit in! My advice to anyone in a similar position is to identify a trusted partner, so they share in the success and risk of staff placement with you, and that they care as much about your success as their own
