#26 - Closing 5 positions in 3 days!
A deep-dive into StarApps' Cutshort journey
“The quality of talent available has consistently met our expectations, which has contributed to the growth and success of this organization”.
These are the words of Shubham Vats (Chief Growth Officer, StarApps Studio) when we asked him - what makes Cutshort stand out?
This week’s newsletter will explore StarApps’ success story and how they closed 6 positions in less than a month using Cutshort! 🙌
Finding the stars at StarApps - How Cutshort helped in their success
StarApps studio, founded in 2016 and based in Pune (Maharashtra, India) caters to Shopify-powered e-commerce businesses by building software solutions to boost their sales and revenue.
In less than a month of making their jobs live on Cutshort, Shubham and his team were able to hire 6 amazing folks for their open roles.🥳
Here’s how they did it👇
The first phase - setting the fundamentals
Earlier this year in April, Taruneshwar (StarApps’ account manager at Cutshort) contacted StarApps’ team to understand their hiring needs. During this call, they mentioned their tech support engineer role and needed Cutshort’s help since they were struggling with it for a while.
After understanding the context of their role and helping them set it up on Cutshort, we sat back to watch the magic happen!
In less than a week, StarApps found over 350 relevant folks for this role and shortlisted over 40% of the folks applying for this role.
Once the sourcing was taken care of, a few quick rounds of interviews & validation to better gauge the talent led to them rolling out an offer, getting a confirmation, and closing the role within two weeks! 🤯
Leveling up - 900 applications in 3 days!
Now that they had seen the power of Cutshort, they wanted to take it to the next level.
This time, they were looking to hire 2 junior developers, 2 AI engineers, and 1 AI engineering intern. While there weren’t any strict deadlines set, the TAT for these roles was exceptional!🚀
The StarApps team, with the help of Cutshort, made these jobs live on the platform and in less than 3 days, saw ~900 applications coming in for these 3 roles.
Speaking of the quality of these folks, StarApps shortlisted 45%+ applications they received for these roles.
This, combined with a super-smooth workflow to manage your applicants + a super-fast hiring process at their end led them to hire 5 more folks for these roles in 10 days.
That’s some insane speed given the fact that they were struggling with these roles for quite a while before Cutshort.✅
Conclusion
In the words of Shubham himself,
“Cutshort is solving several problems in the hiring process, which ultimately benefits the organization. Firstly, it addresses the challenges of efficiently finding and connecting with qualified candidates. This saves us valuable time and effort in sourcing candidates and streamlining the initial stages of the hiring process.
Moreover, Cutshort’s intuitive user interface simplifies the entire recruitment journey. The platform’s user-friendly design allows us to navigate seamlessly, review candidate profiles, and interact with them effectively”.
