How we helped improve gender diversity and lower costs at Seedlegals

Seedlegals are a UK-based scaleup with a SAAS platform designed for startups. Their service automates legals such as shareholder agreements, employee options schemes and fundraising. We spoke to Anthony Rose, CEO, about our partnership.

🚨 THE CHALLENGE

• They had no internal team and needed to double their headcount within 12 months, from a standing start of 72 employees.
• Cost per hire was £7,000, with an over-reliance on agencies.
• Time to Hire was an average of 12 weeks
  

⚒️ OUR SOLUTION

Move reset SeedLegals’ entire recruitment process to ensure consistency, inclusivity and scalability.

We introduced Hiring Manager training and onboarding to the new process and structured, persona-driven hiring manager intake meetings became the standard.
