Services for Growth Companies
What we are especially good at
HR as a Service consulting (HRaaS)
Do you sometimes feel like you don’t have the skills, time or capacity to handle everything? You are not alone.
HR as a Service -projects (HRaaS) are custom made to help out growth companies with challenges related to building a team, leadership, culture and communications.
Sometimes you might need a helping hand for just a day and a specific task (hourly or daily rate) and sometimes you might need help for 20 hours per week for 6 months (project rate).
The core at Skilla services is this: only pay for the help you need. No need to lock yourself into long contracts, since estimating your needs long term might be very tricky.
Recruiting
Are you looking for a Account Manager? Customer Success Manager? Software tai Web Developer? Project Manager? Skilla is specialized in recruiting professionals in the fields of business and tech (IT).
Hiring and building a team takes time, effort and energy - and doing it well is crucial for success.
We absolutely feel that the management of a growth company needs to be actively involved in the hiring process of new employees, but you do not need to do all the steps yourself. Skilla can help!
We’ll take care of the process with quality from beginning to end and you get to join in the final moments and make the critical decision regarding who you wish to hire to your team.
Headhunting
Headhunting is the solution for you when you are searching for talent that is in very high demand or for some other reason you need to conduct a silent search.
Headhunting works well for both manager and leadership positions but also when searching for professional level talent that is not easily available.
Hiring and building a team takes time, effort and energy - and doing it well is crucial for success.
We always take care of the process with quality from beginning to end and you get to join in the final moments and make the critical decision regarding who you wish to hire to your team.
