How we helped Bark achieve 74% growth in their technology function
Bark required a solution that could provide instant improvements to their hiring power across technology roles and we quickly proved our value by securing multiple offers within the first 3 weeks of our assignment for key roles within product and engineering.

A few key statistics
Hareesh has done an amazing job for us during his time here and we are really happy with the work! He is a real asset to our team and is always super proactive, calm, and willing to support wherever he is needed. The engineering team has loved working with him and he has made some great hires.
They needed expertise in managing the entire hiring process, acquiring salary data, improving interview processes, providing insightful reports and someone who could advise key stakeholders and build a talent team that would continue to succeed once our mission was accomplished.
We secured 13 high impact, senior hires over the period of 8 months resulting in an increase of 74% growth in Bark’s technology team.
Having been given the task of establishing a strong presence within tech hiring, we implemented a tailored approach to setting up structured processes with the aim of reducing our time to hire, organising key events to enhance brand awareness, advised hiring managers on best practices and played an essential role in acquiring insightful data that allowed stakeholders to make informed decisions as they transitioned into a fully remote engineering team.
Having had our initial 3 month contract extended twice, we found success in helping Bark build a brand new QA Engineering team, hosting both internal and external events, working closely with talent partners and stakeholders to enhance their hiring power, benchmarking salary data across European markets and securing several crucial hires.
Not only were we able to save Bark £88,000 on agency spend in 8 months, we also successfully hired and onboarded 2 senior talent partners to continue the momentum we created, leaving Bark’s talent team in a much better place than when we joined, which was another of our key objectives.
