We eat, sleep and breathe agile
Agile Recruitment, for us, has become a way of (work) life. BWBacon Group is the first (and only) tech staffing agency to be 100% Agile/Scrum certified in the country (as far as we can tell), and that pursuit stemmed from our initial zeal to understand you, our clients, who are mostly Agile. That adoption turned inward, what this means is that we have internal working agreements, a product vision, a definition of done, an approach for prioritizing our backlog, ways for sizing our user stories, and means for managing our sprint cycles.
A good Recruiter:
- Knows their clients intimately. The strengths of our partnerships have been forged by much more than mere success. It’s the intimacy that is revealed by overcoming the imminent obstacles of staffing.
- Has a process to manage scale. Tech staffing has unique ebbs and flows, and to manage an iterative process, we have incorporated Agile.
- Takes great pride in being forthright. We know the importance of being candid, and the sensitivity of sharing confidential information.
- Primarily relies on relationships for growth. There are tremendous tools and automation opportunities in the staffing market, but ultimately they know that its relationships that matter most.
- Goes to great lengths to establish mutual expectations. We understand your preferences. It’s part of qualifying if you’re a fit for us and learning what you and your company are all about.
- Gets up when they’re knocked down. We almost relish the opportunity to make something right as much as we celebrate getting it right. Our product is people.
- Catalyzes a natural and speedy process. Forcing things or creating undue urgency compromises placement effectiveness and undermines all those involved. Our process is naturally fast.
- Seeks out referrals. We rely on referrals more than any other source for qualified candidates.
- Loves what they do.
We’ve got the passion
Staffing is a timeless industry, and in an age of choice and new technology, we have an opportunity to build something totally distinctive; and not just within BWB, but with our clients. With no absolutes in our space, we find that what we do is absolutely rewarding.
Purple Mountains Majesty
In June 2015 we were awarded one of the top fifty (500 Colorado Companies to Watch! Colorado Companies to Watch is a unique statewide awards program recognizing growing companies that fuel the economic fire of Colorado. After an intense application and selection process, a gala dinner is held to celebrate the winners and their supporters.
BWB is proud to make the list for 2015! Out of approximately 1,100 nominees, to be a top 50 is quite an achievement! We had a team outing to the gala and got a great photo with Governor Hickenlooper. We expect to continue to grow in reach, revenue and as a team over the next year. So far, 2015 is slated to be our best year yet!
Congratulations to all the 2015 winners!
