Nonna Valejko is a Talent Acquisition specialist at Farcana with extensive experience in the gaming industry and fintech. She is on a mission to grow the dev. team.
In August 2024 Nonna is looking for a Senior DevOps with knowledge of Kubernetes and Helm. Her company has access to most major sourcing platforms. Still the recruitment team, under Natallia Savitskaya’ supervision, is keen to try new tools – to extend the tech talent pool and increase the engagement.
It is not always possible to find contacts of candidates. Extensions and talent search platforms usually have a limited number of monthly credits to open contacts.
– says Nonna. DevScanr has no limits on contacts (or anything else), so you can be as productive as you are, with no artificial boundaries.
Sourcing Solution
On the very first day of using DevScanr Nonna is making a list of matching talent for the required position. In fact, according to the platform’s statistics, it takes her exactly 52 minutes. In a few weeks, one of that prospects is successfully employed by Farcana.
Nonna shares here initial experience with DevScanr:
The interface was quite clear, so there were practically no problems getting to know the platform. The search results were pretty relevant. To quickly evaluate candidates, I looked at the skills heat map on a talent card: it clearly shows what technologies a candidate is experienced with, and for how many years.
I’ve found a winning candidate as one of the first on the list, and it was great that his Telegram was there, speeding up the communication. The candidate was looking for a job.
Statistics
Search filters used for initial matching (locations, skills, seniority) of the above case resulted in about 500 matching profiles. Nonna reviewed resumes of 100 engineers, contacted 30 of them; 3 engineers passed the interview, one of them was eventually hired. A truly outstanding example of recruitment efficiency!
Nonna’s success story inspired her colleagues, and today more Farcana recruiters are using DevScanr for their sourcing tasks.
