Client Success
In 2022, d-Matrix, a cutting-edge technology company specializing in advanced circuit techniques and machine learning tools, aimed to revolutionize AI computing efficiency. Following a successful $44 million Series A funding round, the company sought to expand its team by approximately 20 highly skilled professionals within seven to eight months. These new hires were crucial shaping the company's future culture.
However, d-Matrix faced several challenges:
High Expectations and Pressure
Investors' expectations and the company's growth trajectory intensified the urgency to secure top-tier talent.
Budget Constraints and Brand Recognition
Limited budgets, tight timelines, and low brand awareness made attracting elite candidates difficult.
Internal Resource Limitations
The existing recruitment team lacked the specialized skills and resources to effectively engage passive candidates and access diverse talent pools.
To address these challenges, d-Matrix appointed Mike Nord as Head of Talent Management. Nord implemented a dual strategy: hiring a retained talent specialist and outsourcing to recruitment agencies. During this process, he partnered with Rent-A-Sourcer (RAS), a talent sourcing company known for building sustainable talent pipelines and enhancing employer branding.
RAS employed a four-step approach—Source, Outreach, Qualify, Schedule (S-O-Q-S):
Over seven months, RAS's strategic sourcing efforts led to:
Enhanced Branding
The outreach campaigns significantly increased d-Matrix's visibility, attracting thousands to explore the company's mission and opportunities.
Effective Talent Acquisition
The meticulous sourcing and engagement strategies ensured that d-Matrix could build a robust team of niche AI talent, aligning with their growth and innovation goals.
I can share that Quentin's and his team have had a significant impact sourcing the most difficult and challenging engineers to recruit for ML/AI Hardware and Software.
The amount of outreach Quentin delivered was instrumental in the early foundation hiring for d-Matrix.ai. He was on point and as an extra side benefit impacted branding outreach that has led thousands of people to view the d-matrix.ai story.
