OUR BEST PRACTICES

1

Discovery phase

  • ICP (Ideal Candidate Profile) creation

    A crucial step for result-oriented search. Ideal Customer Profile helps build alignment with the client and is a powerful tool for managing business requirements.

  • Position UVP (Unique Value Proposition) definition

    Attracting candidates is like sales, hence it's essential to understand the Unique Value Proposition of what we are selling. UVP definition is a groundwork that will help the vacancy become more attractive to the candidates.

Discovery phase

  • Dedicated landing page

    All that glitters is not gold, but it doesn’t imply that the surface shouldn’t shine. At VeryBusy Recruiting, we believe in immaculate presentation, and our data provides us with positive reinforcement. With a dedicated landing page, we are usually able to get 2x more responses from potentially qualified candidates than from standard outreach campaigns, and boost our pipeline fast.

3

Boosting search

  • Alternative sourcing channels

    Working with a rare technical stack requires alternative places to look for the right people. Once we figure out that Linkedin search doesn't work well for the role, we focus our search on Github and developer communities.

  • Building talent pool

    Some projects in recruiting are sprints, but most are marathons. When the demand for a rare technical stack arises, it is important to invest in building a talent pool you’ll be able to get back to in the future.

4

Mid-funnel optimization

  • Candidate's calibration

    It’s often impossible to perfectly capture all requirements during the discovery phase. Hiring Managers might have implicit expectations from candidates. Our calibration process (pairing with HM and screening 1-2 candidates during the first week of the search together) is a great way to align expectations and build mutual trust.

  • Processing time optimization

    Processing time is vital to win great candidates in the competitive tech market. In most cases we were able to eliminate candidate churn related to offers from competition and disengagement with our role.

5

Closing

  • Negotiation support

    At VeryBusy Recruiting, we believe that we’re uniquely positioned to facilitate final negotiations between the company and a candidate. From our experience, we were successful in bridging the common communication gap.

Candidate stories

What candidates say about our recruitment process

Valeriy Mykhaylenko

iOS Software Engineer at Yalantis

A small feedback about my cooperation with the VeryBusy Recruiting team.
They wrote me on LinkedIn with a vacancy that was relevant to my current experience, which interested me, and further forwarded the communication to Kateryna.
They asked what method of communication would be convenient for me, and then we communicated via Telegram.
Kateryna answered all the questions that interested me in detail, and we agreed on a screen call as the first stage.
The call itself was very easy, I shared my experience, asked everything I was interested in and what I did not know about the company.
In the end, I clearly understood all the stages in the case of further steps and received the most positive impressions from the communication, which increased my desire to move on.
At all subsequent stages, Kateryna kept in touch with me, was interested in my impressions, gave advice, and in every way facilitated my communication with the company
I am very grateful to the team and Kateryna for their cooperation. Everything was very professional.

Yurii Pidlisnyi

Full stack Engineer at MacPaw

I would like to thank Very Busy and Kateryna Ryzhkina in particular. 
All hiring stages were extremely comfortable for me. Kateryna immediately clearly explained the requirements for the vacancy, and the hiring process and asked for my feedback after each stage. 
All stages passed quite quickly. Kateryna's great support was felt at each stage. Even the intro call felt like a friendly conversation and not like an interrogation or just answering standard questions. 
I can confidently say that this was my most pleasant recruiting experience :)

Pavlo Hnatiuk

Senior Backend Engineer at Affinidi

I want to thank the agency VeryBusy Recruiting, and in particular the recruiter Nastya, for "disturbing" me with the vacancy for the position of Senior Backend Engineer. I was in a passive search, I had a clear set of criteria, but 99% of the offers I came across did not fit. Nastya described everything in detail in the very first letter, and it was a perfect match. It was obvious that she was worried that I had answers to all questions; before each stage of the interview she sent me recommendations on how to prepare and what to expect, and she answered my clarifications promptly.

I have only pleasant impressions of the cooperation. I am more than satisfied with my new job.

Artem Zinkov

Senior iOS Developer

I can vouch that this company has highly qualified recruiters (Kateryna definitely belongs to them). Katya provided all the necessary information, explained, and accompanied me at every stage of the interview, which was very cool and pleasant! Thank you for an awesome new role in an awesome company.

Oleksandr Tarapata

Senior Front-end Developer at Limitless Labs

Thank you to the VeryBusy Recruiting team and especially to Yulia Keskin for writing to me and offering me the position for which I was interviewed! The hiring process went very quickly and with great support from Yulia! Even our intro call can be highlighted as something special. It was not a call on the topic of "tell about yourself, what is your experience, your wishes for a job," etc., but simply as a friendly conversation, of course, with key questions regarding the application. Julia is really a highly qualified specialist in her field and always has interesting offers with a good budget :)
