Troi supported Hokodo’s rapid FinTech scale-up with 35+ specialist hires, 210k savings, and a hiring strategy for European expansion.
Hokodo, founded in 2008, delivers B2B insurance solutions through developer-friendly APIs. Hokodo is at Series B funding round and raised $40million. Hokodo offers merchants the possibility to offer instant payment terms to their customers and have been described as the Klarna of B2B.
Hokodo had aggressive growth ambitions after raising 40 million in funding, to further invest in its technology and scale the payments solution across Europe.
They required hiring at scale, to double their team quickly and then expand by 100% in the next year.
External support was required to deliver on multiple roles, as the business grew rapidly and help develop the overall hiring strategy.
Enter Troi. The perfect embedded talent team to hit the ground running and shape an entire function whilst meeting these initial objectives:
We’re Troi…a tech-focused company offering a ton of value-added solutions, not just your hires. We’ve been transforming the way people view recruitment for over 5 years and have become pretty good at it. Oh, and we do all of this via a flexible monthly contract – on a flat fee basis.
Troi truly embedded into the Hokodo culture and managed the whole recruitment process on the roles Hokodo requested.
Troi became the all-star Talent Partner within the business, managing all stakeholder relationships and implementing a sound hiring strategy for the newly appointed (secured by Troi of course!) Head of Talent to run with.
The existing Head of Talent left shortly after Troi joined, so our Troi MVP, Richard stepped up and was able to take ownership of the entire talent function managing external partner relationships and hiring an entire new talent team for Hokodo. Saving a pretty impressive 211k + for Hokodo (compared to traditional agency recruiting costs!)
— Chris Yea | Head of Talent“Troi came in and became part of the team, not just an extended partner. They truly embedded themselves into the business, understanding our requirements, working closely with stakeholders and managing our hiring process, maintaining our time to hire through a high growth period.”
