Stepstone: Accelerated team building With Propel

Background

Stepstone, a German corporate looking to expand a specific division of their operations, were looking to quickly build out a new team, comprising individuals experienced within key aspects of the product development lifecycle. The expansion aimed at enhancing the continuity and productivity of Stepstone's operations.

The primary challenge faced by Stepstone was the urgency to assemble a team of experienced individuals in a short timeframe. The goal was to facilitate the expansion and digitization of a particular division, ensuring the continuity and enhancement of Stepstone's operations.

Leveraging Propel's Employer of Record (EOR) Services

To meet the urgent need, Propel leveraged its Employer of Record (EOR) services, taking charge of the entire process from payroll management to benefits allocation. Propel instituted regular check-in calls to ensure the team's well-being and alignment with Stepstone's objectives, ensuring a seamless transition and operational continuity.

At the core of the success seen in our collaboration with Stepstone, was Propel's ‘Layered Talent Progression Model’, which ensures that candidates go through a rigorous verification and skill assessment procedure before gaining access to work - by progressing in a tiered manner while gaining competence and maintaining minimum thresholds.

This model ensured Stepstone had access to pre-qualified and well-proven talent, reducing recruitment and onboarding bottlenecks.

"Propel didn't just assist us in team building; they became our partners, overseeing the entire process from payroll management to benefits allocation, and instituting regular check-in calls to ensure the team's well-being and alignment with Stepstone's objectives.
