PlanOmatic, which provides quality photography, floor plans and 3D imaging to the single-family rental industry nationally, had experienced incredible growth for two years. Their two-person People & Culture team could not keep up with their big hiring plans. The company’s continued growth depended on quickly and strategically growing their teams in an affordable, scalable way.
Hiring traditional recruiters was not a solution for them for a few reasons. First, PlanOmatic is very hands on with each candidate personally, so they just needed help sourcing and screening. Second, they were hiring for a broad range of functions and levels in a niche industry, so siloed recruiters specializing in certain types of roles would not work. Third, they needed an affordable solution. Paying 25% of first-year salary for a large number of hires was not feasible or sustainable.
