Having assisted over seven million people to claim airline compensation in just five years, the team at Airhelp is consistently growing and evolving to meet new challenges.
The company has hired 9 new employees to date through Atlas One, including Head of Branding, Marketing Manager and Campaign Manager.
Facing into 2019, the business was looking to restructure the marketing team so that they could make faster decisions in a more informed way. They were struggling to find a recruitment partner that could fulfil their needs.
“The people we recruited through Atlas One were essential for us to be able to achieve our strategy for 2019. Being able to work with Atlas One and being able to recruit all of those people ahead of kicking off with 2019 and all the growth that it comes with was essential for the structure that we needed”.

Beamery take great pride in their talented recruitment team and a strong in-house referrals network, born from their mantra of hiring as a team sport.
Atlas One recruited a Senior Security Operations Engineer, Head of Email Deliverability and Senior Golang Developer for Beamery so their internal recruiters could focus on a range of other mid to senior level positions.
During their period of hyper-growth throughout 2018, Beamery was faced with a need for extra recruiting firepower and specialisation to fill a number of key roles and support the internal team.
"The Atlas One team have been super transparent in who they’ve been talking to, the details of those people, the ongoing conversations that they’re having. We know who they’ve been looking at and ultimately, that data has been very easy for us to check out.”

Freska first teamed up with Atlas One in 2017. The company was just about to close their Series-A investment round and had between 40 and 50 employees.
To date, the company made 10 hires with Atlas One for both their management team and tech team. Freska has more than doubled in size over the past 20 months, and continues to work with Atlas One.
It was time to take the business to the next level and make a number of key hires for the management and technical teams.
“Purely from a cash flow perspective, startups tend to fundraise every 9 - 18 months. If you have a payment period of 20 months, it’s so much easier on your own cash flow, it’s easier to plan and it’s easier to recruit knowing that you don’t need to pay it all now".
We only charge the full fee if the placed candidate stays for 20 months. So if the candidate leaves after 10 months, you'll pay half of the fee.
You'll be able to relax, safe in the knowledge that the incentives are aligned between recruiter, candidate and company. It's a model built on trust.
You can forget about traditional hiring models, where recruiters throw a load of candidates at you hoping for the best that one will stick until they're paid.
"The model that Atlas One provides is really good in a way that we have longer time to assess whether that person was a real good fit”.
By spreading the recruiting fee over 20 months, you can be paying up to 90% less over the first three months compared to contingency and retained models.
You can continue towards your growth targets with a weight taken off your shoulders.
You'll eliminate huge up-front costs that can shorten your runway.
It’s just so much easier for us to say yes to 5% of the fee a month per hire than it is to commit to an unknown result and fee and many thousands of euros on the outset."
Avoiding up front fees means being able to reapply that capital towards more key hires.
Stagger your recruiting efforts at a pace that suits your company and cashflow.
You'll be able to build your business faster by growing your team faster. It's as simple as that.
"It was incredible to see just how fast Freska expanded after we filled those key roles, especially CTO and CMO. Within 6 months, the company doubled in size".
