With roots in the small but growing tech hub of Bozeman, Montana, commonFont began to grow quickly, thanks to a combination of increased demand for their services and expanding markets. The company, which designs, implements, and manages Experience Management technologies for their clients, is selective in recruiting and actively seeks out service-oriented candidates who are intrinsically motivated, curious learners and able to produce very high-quality work, regardless of domain. They seek out diverse candidates, and generally value candidates who will add to the company’s unique culture and grow into expansive responsibilities.
commonFont needed a recruiting partner who would be totally aligned with them, who could identify these unique candidates, and who would have the knowledge to represent commonFont in a comprehensive and compelling way. The idea of a traditional commission-based recruiter did not appeal to them because the incentives seemed misaligned. They worried that tying an incentive to putting just any candidate into any seat could get in the way of finding the right people for their team.
