HIPERPOOL MEMBERS HIRED TO DATE

The Hiperpool team spent time understanding the requirements of the role, especially the cultural elements, which are critical at a startup like ViaVan.

Hiperpool’s Talent Sponsors were able to identify numerous members from the Hiperpool community that matched ViaVan's requirements. More than 80% of the members shortlisted by Hiperpool were interviewed. Two Hiperpool members were hired.

Hiperpool Talent Sponsors and Client Success Managers were active on behalf of members and employers throughout the process, providing support and guidance at every step of the way.
