Yaama Tech
Transforming Tech Recruitment
CONTEXT
Yaama Tech has been in operation since 2020 and embarked on a mission to revolutionize tech recruitment by providing superior hiring solutions and enhancing employee retention. As the General Manager and HR Manager, I was tasked with building the company’s workforce from the ground up, starting with just one hire to over 66 tech professionals to date.
Approach
My strategy focused on meticulous recruitment processes, where I personally hired an average of 22 people annually, aligning with client demands and business growth objectives. Recognizing the importance of retention, I implemented innovative hiring practices and support systems that increased contractor satisfaction and longevity within the company.
Technologies Used
- Manatal: Leveraged for its robust recruitment and pipeline management features, aiding in efficient profile sourcing and placement.
- Microsoft Excel: Customized complex spreadsheets facilitated streamlined financial management, drastically reducing the time required for monthly payroll processes from days to minutes.
- Microsoft Teams: Served as the primary communication tool, ensuring seamless internal collaboration and coordination.
- Obsidian: This knowledge management tool was pivotal in automating nearly 95% of routine tasks, significantly enhancing personal productivity and allowing me to manage the growing demands of a dynamic recruitment environment.
Impact
- Company Growth: The strategic recruitment efforts contributed directly to the company’s robust expansion, growing from a single employee to 66 in three years. The scalability of hiring practices suggests the potential to double this number should client demand increase.
- Client Satisfaction: Clients have expressed high satisfaction due to the longevity of placements and cost-effectiveness of services, with contractors also reporting satisfaction with their compensation and job conditions.
- Industry Reputation: Despite being a relatively new player in the tech industry, Yaama Tech has already amassed over 1,000 followers on LinkedIn, reflecting a growing reputation for quality and reliability.
- Innovation and Leadership: The open and transparent company culture I cultivated is now a hallmark of Yaama Tech, where prospective hires are encouraged to directly contact current employees to get genuine insights into the company’s operations and environment. This approach not only boosts confidence in new recruits but also reinforces the positive workplace culture, fostering a community of trust and mutual respect.
Conclusion
At Yaama Tech, the integration of advanced technological tools with a human-centered approach to HR management has not only streamlined operations but also built a foundation of trust and efficiency that propels the company forward. My leadership in navigating the complexities of tech recruitment has positioned Yaama Tech as a model of innovation and success in the tech industry.
