Challenge: hiring for cultural fit
The main challenge of this recruitment project was to find candidates that fit Bikeep’s culture. We needed to identify people that not only had top skills but also were passionate about micro-mobility and sustainability. Considering we were focusing on sourcing local talent, the candidate pool wasn’t large.
Bikeep is building a network of smart bike stations, where users can lock their bikes securely, charge their e-bikes, and grab rental bikes.
The solution helps combat bike theft in areas where it has become a considerable problem. With user interactions taking place through a mobile app, Bikeep stations are connected to the internet, installed with sensors, a surveillance camera, and a loudspeaker alarm, making them a reliable solution.
Since 2013, Bikeep has installed its stations in 21 countries, such as the USA, New Zealand, Estonia, Belgium, the Netherlands, and more.
"We found very impactful and talented people thanks to TalentHub. Professional, good cultural fit, and taking our company to the next level."
