Founded in 2011, the j. David Group, a go-to-market search firm for rapidly scaling software companies, experienced massive internal growth in 2021, expanding from a team of two to eleven. This growth brought challenges, including the need to reduce manual work, manage candidate information, and improve reporting functionality. The account managers were juggling multiple tasks, including placing candidates, managing client relationships, and keeping up with candidate communications. The recruiters were storing candidate resumes on their individual computers, lacking a single source of truth for their candidate information. When candidates were not placed, there was no easy way to get their information back to a central database. The team was using Trello to track a candidate’s interview status, which was cumbersome and lacked detailed reporting capabilities. They needed a solution that would automate their manual processes, increase visibility across all candidate information, and provide stronger reporting.
