Kolleno is a sophisticated software revolutionising the way finance departments manage Accounts Receivable. Building a far-reaching service such as Kolleno meant widening the search for global talent.
WebsiteThe Challenge
Kolleno, based in the United Kingdom, planned to expand their presence in Canada and find talented software developers in other countries. Although Kolleno was ready to start their international hiring journey, they were met with the following challenges.
• Frightening costs of incorporating legal entities in foreign jurisdictions.
• No capacity to go into new markets and establish physical entities.
• Unaware of the secret software development talent pool within South Africa.
• Challenges in accessing a global pool of top-tier talent.
Solutions
While Kolleno was focused on expanding their talent pool by hiring from other countries, they needed a solution that would:
• Address the prohibitive costs associated with setting up legal entities in foreign jurisdictions;
• Make it easy to understand the unique hiring requirements outside of their borders;
• Offer specialised knowledge in recruiting and overseeing an international team at a local level.
Results
Leveraging Playrolls' extensive network of global entities and subsidiaries, Kolleno effortlessly navigated the complexities of international talent acquisition. By eliminating the need to establish foreign branches, they not only conserved time and resources but also streamlined the process of onboarding new employees, reducing it to just a few days. Playroll's in-depth expertise, robust legal knowledge, and compliant contract frameworks ensured a smooth, end-to-end hiring journey. This efficient approach enabled Kolleno to rapidly assemble a comprehensive Canadian team and recruit skilled software developers in South Africa, thus setting a solid foundation for their swift global expansion.
