The Need
Our recruitment challenge
Initially, STRIVR needed a Sr. Brand Planner with the polish of an agency veteran and the scrappiness of an inventor on a budget. They also needed a talent partner who could navigate pitfalls of scaling teams and recruiting top talent in a high demand market.
The company received a sizable seed round and expanded their offerings into new markets. Translation: STRIVR needed to build cross-functional teams across almost every vertical – teams that could ramp up quickly, work like a cohesive unit, and navigate unchartered territory.
