Scaling Growth, Losing Engagement

As Bulgaria’s first unicorn, Payhawk had a strong brand and a great recruitment team. But as the company grew, something started to change. Hiring managers and executives were getting further away from the hiring process.

When we spoke with Hristo Dimitorv - Payhawk’s Talent Partner, he summed it up perfectly:

“We have a great brand and a strong team, but with our growth, hiring managers simply don’t have time to engage directly in sourcing and yet candidates respond to them far better than to anyone else.”

The team experimented with ways to bring managers closer, like shared outreach templates, spreadsheets, coordination calls but nothing worked at scale. Senior candidates replied when hiring managers got involved, but as growth accelerated, that personal touch became impossible to keep up.

A New Framework for Hiring-Team Collaboration

That’s when TalentSight stepped in.

Using TalentSight, recruiters and hiring managers finally worked side by side in one place. Recruiters took care of sourcing - finding and shortlisting the right people - while hiring managers added their voice and authenticity to outreach campaigns.

It felt natural: no new complex tools, no extra calls, no extra steps. Everyone saw the same progress, coordinated easily, and acted faster. Together, they created executive-led outreach at scale - with close to zero extra effort for hiring managers.

Impact: Time Saved, Replies Doubled

In just three months, the results were clear:

  • ⏱️ 60% less sourcing time

    💬 2× higher candidate response rate

    🎯 More engagement from senior and passive candidates

    👥 Hiring managers actively engaged without extra time or effort

Redefining How Hiring Teams Work Together

By bringing recruiters and hiring managers together in one workflow, Payhawk turned a growing challenge into a clear advantage. The team now moves faster, collaborates better, and reaches stronger candidates, all without extra effort.

What began as a small pilot quickly grew across teams. Payhawk’s story shows what happens when collaboration, automation, and executive visibility work hand in hand: not just faster sourcing, but smarter hiring together.
