How Swarmia build a top-class tech team?
"At Swarmia we build a tool that help engineering teams to accelerate their growth. We raised Seed funding round of 8m€ and needed support on tech-recruitments and choose Talentbee to help us in these. They had clear process for profile definition and in the end it was really worth it. The list of potential candidates I got was a spot on. We have done most of our recruitments in-house so it was nice that someone was leading the process and saved time from me as a founder."
Preparing for scaling the tech team
“We launched our HeadQ in the spring of 2022. We were a team of 3 founders. Our customers started asking for new features and it was crucial to start working on them. We wanted to ensure customers stayed happy and to deliver the product. Being the CTO and the only technical person at HeadQ, my table became full quite quickly. At the same time, I needed to start building my recruitment pipeline to get ready to scale my team. I was in a situation where I needed to choose whether to use the time to hire and build the pipeline or develop the product. I decided to partner up with TalentBee on our recruitments and was delighted with their expertise in technical roles.”

How to scale your integration SaaS team?
“We had just raised our 7,2 m€ seed round of funding and needed help with our recruitments. We worked together with Talentbee and we were extremely satisfied with the cooperation. We especially valued their understanding of SaaS businesses & their ability to challenge us in more technical roles in our DevOps team.”
Entering the Finnish market & scaling the sales team
“We have worked with several recruitment agencies before while scaling our sales team. It often felt like they were pushing candidates to us that maybe were not truly fitting, and that the goal was more to finish the project as soon as possible than to have our best in mind. I came across TalentBee, an agency specialized in SaaS businesses, and they seemed different. I decided to give them a chance and we started a cooperation. To this point they have challenged me on what kind of a sales person would be a good fit for us. They have challenged me on whether we are offering a good environment for sales people to succeed. They have brought new ideas to our own sales process as well as sales onboarding. And what is the most important thing, they have brought in some great candidates with perfect backgrounds for us. They are not just another recruitment agency – they truly care about scaling our business by helping us to attract and hire the right talent for our growth."

Their competence was shown by the strength of their vision, which has surprised us. They are a young company, but the employer branding know-how and the quality of the outcomes have been top class.
