BW provided us with an exceptional embedded talent manager, who co-ordinated a resourcing team to secure 25 new employees across our data, software, infrastructure and project teams last year. This solution allowed us to have an internal-like team whilst we were in our growth phase, creating a strong outward message to prospective employees. The process was very easy, cost effective and flexible, and so far all of the employees have been excellent. We will continue to use BW as an external provider, but would 100% use their in-house talent model again if we were to adopt a similarly aggressive hiring plan in the future.

We recently received a round of funding and looked to build a management structure that could sit below me. We agreed a permanent bundle deal with BW, who have secured us a Head of Development, Studio Manager, Data Analytics Lead and a new FD. It was exceptional value for 4 head hunt searches, and we agreed a payment plan over the next 12 months. Sam will be hearing from me again the next time I need to ramp up the team.
