The Need

The Knack

Digital Knack (DK) built a new talent framework for AppFolio’s recruitment efforts. One that tapped into national tech hubs, established immediate and evergreen talent streams, and increased the interview to hire conversions for Sales, Customer Management and Marketing divisions.
Within 15 months, DK placed 20 new AppFolians across Sales, Product Marketing, Digital Marketing and Event Marketing (Entry to Director level). DK created candidate personas, assessed talent gaps and identified core culture criteria (what makes people stick) early on - thereby, providing the groundwork to build teams that thrive cross-functionally while bringing unique expertise and value-add to the organization. Via a Retained Partnership, DK stayed in cadence with AppFolio and navigated new talent needs hand in hand.
DK and AppFolio co-developed interview challenges and experiences, enhancing AppFolio’s candidate assessment toolkit and enabling decision-makers to discover expertise otherwise uncovered in verbal conversations.
