After experiencing rapid growth, Boydak’s new client acquisitions resulted in reduced ability to nurture existing customers and providing follow-up support. Whilst benefitting from this sudden growth, Boydak was left with a lasting dilemma: how could it keep existing and new clients equally satisfied to deliver results for both?
SOLUTION
As a relatively young start-up in Zurich, Boydak lacked the commercial bandwidth to match local market salaries. To counter this challenge, GROW delivered a shortlist of junior RPA consultants from Germany, with attractive packages for relocation and upskilling. The result? 4 optimal matches with 3 recommendations reaching the final stages.
