TASK
To find the Chief Operating Officer
Proactive
We were looking not just a responsible party, but for someone who could work in a horizontal structure and come with solutions
Someone who will fit into the team
It was necessary to integrate a specialist into an existing team, while the owner and CEO had diametrically opposite psychotypes
Milana Dzhidzhoeva
CEO & Founder soter
"The client's company has a complex business model (B2G2C), which includes a complex chain of interactions with maternity hospitals and perinatal centers.
That's why we were looking for a specialist who would have an idea of working in both segments.
And at the same time, we were looking for someone who wouldn't just do what is said, but also would offered new, optimal solutions to business problems."

Finding suitable COO
We studied the client
We had a joint interview with the company owner and CEO. We helped to formulate the requirements taking into account the tasks. It was necessary to find an operating director, but with a product vision. We made a map of the competencies of a potential candidate, taking into account the specifics of the business and the existing team.
We brought in focus a search area
We studied the client's field of activity and made a competitor search map, which initially included retail companies, functionality and services for mothers with newborns as possible segments for finding a specialist.
The very first interviews showed a special mindset and psycho-type of candidates from these fields (who have worked in the industry since the beginning of 2010-2012). That's why we offered the client to look at specialists from another industry. We also improved the competence map, because it was important that a person could quickly rebuild and understand new specifics.

We found what
we were looking for
we were looking for
After improving the search area, we almost immediately found a suitable specialist. The candidate was from an engineering company where was engaged in the technical component, and at the same time understood the GR block at the required level. It was particularly valuable that the candidate was a "universal soldier", who thinks of business goals along with a partner and implements them at the level of operational work.
RESULTS OF THE WORK
We found the "universal soldier"

Chief Operating Officer's Results
The unstoppable running of the CEO's operational tasks has been over, the operational management of the company has been systematically carried out, a system for monitoring and executing client and internal processes has been developed. COO not only began to play the role of a "filter" starting with operational issues for higher-level top managers, but went further (in a short time) to the partner level. Finding and hiring from a non-standard niche made it possible to succeed and successfully manage any internal projects (including non standard and new ones)
