About GROW:

GROW Inc, are a leading Aussie Fintech disrupting the Super space. After onboarding a major Australian superfund, they faced a period of significant growth, and needed to scale, fast!

In 2022, to support their growth, GROW sought a strategic partner to help build a talent function designed for long-term, sustainable success. That's where Solve came in.

The challenge:

With exciting growth on the horizon, including 35 hires across 6 months, GROW needed to scale their team quickly and strategically. With just 1 TA partner in the team, they needed additional bandwidth and deep tech expertise required to deliver critical roles across Tech, Product, Engineering and Executive search.

In addition to hiring top talent, they also needed help with key projects:

• ‍No Application Tracking System (ATS) in place made it hard to manage candidates and automate workflows, slowing down processes and impacting the candidate experience.
• With a small TA team and limited capacity, they need help building a talent function and designing a scalable recruitment process.‍
• Limited brand awareness meant they were flying under the radar with top talent.

The solution:

Solve partnered with GROW to deliver a 6-month RPO solution tailored to support their growth plans, both locally and internationally.

We rapidly deployed onsite and offsite Talent and sourcing partners embedding seamlessly into GROW’s team, ready to start headhunting and talent pooling of critical roles. 

At the same time, our Talent Advisory team kicked off a 12-week implementation project in collaboration with GROW Chief People Officer, to build a Talent function that could scale with the business.

Here’s some of the tailored solutions we helped to deliver:

• ‍End-to-end recruitment - Our Talent Partner integrated into GROW's existing team and processes, managing recruitment and acting as a trusted advisor to hiring managers. ‍
• A fresh new hiring process - we reengineered GROW's recruitment framework, even designing a bespoke Recruitment Toolkit to streamline hiring and drive informed decision making.‍
• ATS selection & implementation – we partnered with leadership to select, implement and integrate the perfect ATS to drive efficiency and engagement.‍
• C-Suite & executive search – ensuring GROW had the right leadership in place to help drive their mission.‍
• Employer brand uplift – from an employer brand audit to video content and a Linkedin strategy, we helped GROW stand out amongst a competitive market. ‍
• Hiring manager enablement – educate and empower GROW's leadership team to deliver an engaging hiring experience in a competitive market.‍
• Market Insights & training – we delivered customise reporting, market maps and workshops to upskill hiring leads on hiring best practises and best practises.

The outcome:

Over the 6 months, we helped GROW scale fast and set them up for sustainable growth.
