HomeServe Now is a new product, so we needed to build Product and Engineering teams from scratch. Talentful was our internal talent team and helped us to recruit our excellent talent I strongly recommend them. They have the right experience and the right approach and are able to move fast.

The Challenge
HomeServe Now was effectively a blank canvas for a consultancy project. With no processes in place or ability to plan around team growth, the options for what could be done to set HomeServe Now up for success were practically endless.
To increase confidence in their own ability to hire, the HomeServe Now team would first need to be brought up to speed on how to build sourcing strategies. They’d also need to learn about relevant recruitment metrics like ‘time to hire’ and the crucial role these metrics play in sustainable growth.

The Results
Despite heavy disruption caused by COVID-19, Talentful was able to build the entire engineering and product teams to reduce reliance on outsourced software agencies.
Strategies and processes were put into place to help put HomesServe Now on a course for success as the ‘Uber for tradespeople’, with HomeServe itself also breaking into the FTSE 100 for the very first time during the course of the partnership with Talentful.
