Growth Without an HR Foundation
A rapidly growing IoT startup was struggling with an understaffed HR team and a lack of structure. However, its global expansion urgently required professional HR processes, international recruiting structures, and scalable tools.
HR Under Pressure as Growth Structures Collapse
The HR team was overwhelmed, both in terms of personnel and strategy. Recruiting processes were lacking, international hiring was impossible, and managers were inundated. At the same time, the hiring volume had to be managed, while cultural differences and a lack of tools exacerbated the situation.
Plan for International HR Transformation
The interim CHRO implemented a global HR strategy focused on recruiting efficiency, team building, digital tools, and employer attractiveness. Employer-of-record solutions were designed to attract international talent, while standardized processes ensured scalability.
HR Relaunch Through Structure and Communication
Within nine months, recruiting processes were professionalized, a new HR team was established, and Personio was implemented. Employer-of-record structures enabled global hiring, while benefits strengthened employee retention. Managers were engaged through communication formats, and a new organizational structure ensured scalability.
