Scaling Your Workforce After A Funding Round
Every fledgling startup aspires to clinch that pivotal funding round, propelling the business towards new horizons. But this is just the start, not the finish line.
Now, the real work begins: finding the right people to join your team and make your ideas become a reality.
After a funding round, you are expected to provide value and results for investors. You are looking for people who can bring your vision to life, people who understand the company's goal and can ideate and implement strategies to achieve those goals.
And hiring such people who can propel and sustain such rapid growth can be tough.
So what do you do?
You can either try to hire new employees to work by yourself or you can outsource to a recruiting firm to help you find the right people.
But finding good and experienced recruiters to hire in-house can be hard, especially when they are in high demand.
You also need to consider how much money it costs to make an additional hire and compare it with the time it takes for them to start working. In their first few weeks, they would need to learn about your company and industry. And this can be tough for your existing team if you need to grow quickly.
However, have you considered having an Embedded Talent Partner?
An Embedded Talent Partner is someone who is embedded into your team, integrated into every facet of your company and works with key stakeholders (founders, hiring managers, team leads, investors) on a daily basis and is solely focused on growing your team by making the best hiring decisions.
This option is especially useful for companies looking to scale very quickly and require new additions to their existing teams. But it doesn’t end there. They also ensure that great talent is retained for a prolonged time period.
But how does having an Embedded Talent Partner put you at a strategic advantage? Well, we had an eye-opening podcast interview session on this topic with our very own Oluwasayo Alao, who is also an Embedded Talent Partner with our client in the UAE.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"Measurement is the first step that leads to control and eventually to improvement. If you can’t measure something, you can’t understand it. If you can’t understand it, you can’t control it. If you can’t control it, you can’t improve it.”
– H. James Harrington
