The challenge

Winning new business is just as critical as placing great candidates. But in a competitive tech recruitment landscape, identifying growth-stage companies and sourcing relevant talent fast isn’t easy.

“Business development is one of the toughest parts of recruitment. We needed a way to stay ahead of the competition, segment the market, build contact lists and reach the right people before anyone else.”

They also needed tools to better support clients’ diversity hiring goals – particularly in building gender-balanced shortlists and sourcing niche-skilled candidates in specific locations.

Firmable is now a core part of Cure Recruitment’s software stack. The team uses Firmable’s sales intelligence and B2B data platform to:

• Find new clients and business development opportunities: Cure creates signal based lists to identify funded, growing, or hiring companies, and pinpoint the right decision-makers fast. These insights give recruiters an edge when starting conversations.

“We’re able to check for inferred gender in terms of candidates and give a balanced amount of people to our clients. It’s about getting the best person for the job but also ensuring there’s equity in the process.”
