PROBLEM
Delayed. Haphazard. Inefficient.
Egoli struggled to find local people with the right skillsets.
They hired at their London location and had them come in for work – but it wasn’t effective. Attrition rates continued to rise. What they needed was someone with real depth.
The applicants pitching for interviews weren’t strong or senior enough, and they didn’t have enough experience. Projects stalled and it became impossible to find people who didn’t need hand-holding.
As Stephen Bickle, Senior Director of Technology at Egoli says:
"If I’m hiring a chef, and I want to be able to say “go make pasta in the kitchen” then they don’t ask me which pasta, which pot, how much water and how long it needs to cook for. What we were looking for was that level of depth. Where they’d not just come back with cooked pasta, but there’d be sautéed vegetables in it too. We wanted them to make it better."
Without the right hires, projects were slowing to a halt and their content repository wasn’t working as well as it should have been.
Egoli needed a star that fit their start-up budget and could perform autonomously in a highly agile, dynamically shifting remote environment.
And they needed them – quick.

SOLUTION
Expedited. Precision-focused. Effective.
Stephen was no stranger to Crossover.
He had used us in two of his previous companies, and was amazed at the results. The first time hiring with us, he interviewed five people and hired one – and they’ve worked for him for over 7 years now.
So, he was ready to be impressed.
“Our Crossover contractor had the depth to really understand and know how to fix it. It was a big project we’d worked on for a long time, and within 2 weeks we completed it and delivered it to our customer. We met a key deliverable and kept our customer happy.”
Stephen was sent a handful of profiles, and four of them perfectly matched his requirements. He had never had a hiring experience like that before.
Not only was the filtering accurate, but being sent five a day allowed him the time to review each candidate. Together with the Crossover team, we grouped his final candidates.
Then he found Durval. It was a match!
