Our Impact: Case Studies
Case Study: Rapid Team Expansion for a FinTech Startup in Kenya
Challenge: A fast-growing FinTech startup in Nairobi needed to double its software development and data science team from 20 to 40 members within six months to launch a new mobile payment platform targeting the East African market.
HIIAA's Solution: We deployed a dedicated RPO team that managed the end-to-end recruitment process. This included employer branding in the tech community, targeted sourcing through niche job boards and LinkedIn, rigorous technical assessments, and coordinated interview scheduling.
Result: Successfully placed 22 highly skilled developers and data scientists within five months, exceeding the client's timeline. The new team was instrumental in the on-time launch of their platform, which acquired 100,000 users in its first quarter. Time-to-hire was reduced by 30% compared to their previous internal efforts.
Case Study: Executive Search for Country Director, International NGO in Somalia
Challenge: A prominent international NGO operating in Somalia required a new Country Director with extensive experience in humanitarian aid, strong leadership skills, and a deep understanding of the local socio-political context. The search needed to be highly confidential.
HIIAA's Solution: Our executive search division conducted a discreet, targeted search across the Horn of Africa and the diaspora. We leveraged our extensive network and conducted in-depth interviews and background checks on shortlisted candidates.
Result: Presented a shortlist of three exceptional candidates within eight weeks. The selected Country Director brought over 15 years of relevant experience and has since successfully expanded the NGO's programs, secured new funding, and strengthened local partnerships, significantly enhancing their impact in the region.
Case Study: HR Policy Development for a Manufacturing Firm in Ethiopia
Challenge: A mid-sized manufacturing company in Addis Ababa was experiencing high employee turnover and inconsistencies in HR practices due to outdated and incomplete HR policies. They needed a comprehensive HR manual aligned with Ethiopian labor law.
HIIAA's Solution: Our HR consulting team conducted a thorough audit of their existing practices, interviewed key stakeholders, and developed a customized HR policy manual. This included clear guidelines on recruitment, performance management, compensation, employee relations, and disciplinary procedures, all compliant with local regulations. We also provided training to their HR staff and line managers on implementing the new policies.
Result: The new HR manual led to a 25% reduction in employee grievances within the first year and a 15% decrease in staff turnover. Standardized procedures improved operational efficiency and created a more transparent and equitable work environment.
