Having worked with Heywood for several years, we already had strong relationships across the People team and Engineering function. In fact, a number of the hiring managers involved in this project had originally been placed by Burns Sheehan.
That existing knowledge meant we could move quickly. We understood what good looked like, the type of people who tend to succeed in the business, and how to position the opportunity to engineers who weren't actively looking.
Joe worked closely with the Head of People, Senior People Manager, and technical leaders throughout the hiring process, providing market insight, salary benchmarking, and guidance on hiring expectations as demand increased.
Rather than relying on volume, the focus was on delivering highly targeted shortlists. Every candidate needed the technical capability to do the job and the mindset to thrive in a growing SaaS business.
"We've worked with Joe and the Burns Sheehan team for around five years and he feels like an extension of our People team. He's reliable, easy to speak to, always honest, and consistently delivers on what he says he will."
Charlotte Woodward, People Partner
Key Outcomes
As Heywood expanded into the US market, the business needed to increase hiring without compromising on quality. By combining long-term knowledge of the organisation with access to relevant passive talent, Burns Sheehan helped the team make critical Product and Engineering hires quickly, allowing leadership to stay focused on growth and delivery.
