The challenge

When we started working with Wellhub, they were still called Gympass, and were on a fast-track to scale the engineering team in Portugal, the soon to be european corporate Tech Hub.

When the objective is to achieve scale, Damia was brought in and proved the best option to scale Wellhub’s recruitment team.

In a 12-month partnership and in close collaboration with the teams in Brazil, USA and Portugal, a journey of growth began which, from the outset, was already known would involve international recruitment.

Enabling an effortless growth journey

More than sharing our expertise in tech hiring and knowledge of the Portuguese market to relieve internal process bottlenecks, our interaction with numerous Hiring Managers, Area Leaders and the HRBP Team was crucial for project success. That kind of effortless in-house integration and fit is not easily achieved with a traditional recruitment service.

Furthermore, our proficiency in international recruitment was, once more, instrumental in attracting foreign candidates and facilitating their relocation to Europe, and the Portuguese market.
