GONG CASE STUDY

R&D Scale Up Partnership

Gong planned to create 80 new jobs in 2022 in their newly established EMEA headquarters. The Mason Alexander team were chosen to build out their R&D sales & operations positions.​

​

As it was a greenfield build, we spent the first 3 weeks introducing resources to interview with the Engineering consultant to calibrate on technical skills and cultural alignment.

Challenge

Gong were looking to hire positions rapidly in the following sectors to meet the growing demand within their customer base and for their product:


  • Sales
  • Marketing
  • Customer success
  • Engineering
  • Information security positions






Solution

Gong picked Mason Alexander as their recruiter of choice due to our proven expertise and success in hiring in these areas.

  • We worked with Gong to understand their Employee Value Proposition (EVP) and workplace culture to communicate their dynamic work environment to potential hires, whilst ensuring the Gong brand was fully protected and respected in the marketplace.
  • With a high level of technical requirements for each position and a tight deadline, we agreed on an SLA with Gong and implemented a well-developed prices to ensure thorough screening of each candidate.

Outcome:

Our marketing department worked closely with the key stakeholders within the Gong community to bring the Gong brand to market via our joint marketing options.

  • We organised and managed a launch event night through which members of our candidate talent pool could sign-up and attend to discover more about the Gong community, products and work environment. This event was hugely successful, generating interest within Gong’s target audience. Hiring is currently underway for these positions and our partnership with Gong has been rewarding on both accounts to date.
