Fast-growing recruitment tech companies MrWork and Teamtailor are teaming up. With a new integration between MrWork s RMA platform and Teamtailor's ATS, the companies aim to reinforce their shared mission: to shorten time-to-hire and make recruitment processes smarter and more efficient.

Fast growers

Teamtailor and MrWork are both established names within recruitment technology and both organisations are experiencing remarkable growth. Teamtailor, originally a Swedish ATS, now serves over 11,000 customers in more than 100 countries and has 180,000 active users per month. Joel Fornes, Senior Partnerships Manager at Teamtailor: "Last year, our customers published more than 1.4 million job ads, received 38 million applications and hired 500,000 new employees. In two years, the Benelux sales team grew from 3 to 12 people. These are very nice figures that we and the team are proud of."

MrWork is also growing fast: more and more organisations are using their RMA software to attract more talent - in the Netherlands and abroad. Martin de Ruiter, CCO at MrWork, says: "In recent years, we have been growing at double-digit rates. We are now also putting a lot of effort into internationalisation. A cooperation with an international player like Teamtailor can open doors for us with employers and staffers in Europe and is - besides the benefit for joint customers - also valuable for that reason."

Given that rapid growth, it was inevitable that the two tech companies would come across each other. Joel says: "The MrWork name kept dropping with us. We saw MrWork at various recruitment (tech) events and both partners and prospects were talking about their RMA software. When a shared connection made contact, the ball started rolling."

Shared vision on recruitment

Both companies aim for shorter time-to-hire for employers and share the vision that technology is only truly valuable when it actually delivers ease of use and results. Joel: "As soon as I saw MrWork 's mission and vision, I thought: yes, this fits. We both want to shorten and improve the process for recruiters and we both do that with an innovative, flexible approach that puts the user first."

The collaboration initially focuses on integrating MrWork s RMA platform with Teamtailor's ATS. This will allow joint customers to automatically transfer the candidates they find through MrWork to Teamtailor. Joel: "That means users no longer have to manually export and import. That saves a lot of manual work and reduces the risk of errors or duplication. This allows recruiters to focus on where they make the difference: the candidate."

Martin adds: "The systems fit together very well. With MrWork you not only increase the conversion to application, you can also automatically guide candidates in their orientation process, pre-screen them and then advance them to the ATS. Once candidates are in talent pools in the Teamtailor ATS, it is possible to use MrWork to let automated flows do their work in these talent pools. This way, you stay in touch with these talents without recruiters spending a lot of time on this. And with an engaged talent pool, you are perfectly placed to drastically reduce time-to-hire. The goal we are all working towards."

Moving forward together

"We see in Teamtailor an enthusiastic club of people with the same passion for technology and recruitment as we do. They want fast and go hard. That fits well with our culture. Together we can help clients even better with software," Martin said.

Teamtailor was positively surprised when MrWork already suggested a lead during discussions about a collaboration. "You rarely see that. Usually parties wait until the cooperation is fully complete before doing something like this. This was a strong signal of mutual trust and the will to move forward together," Joel said.

Exactly what our customers want

Joel is very happy with this collaboration: "MrWork helps organisations get more and better candidates, Teamtailor then helps recruiters guide those candidates efficiently through the recruitment process. That's exactly what our clients need."

In the coming months, the integration will be built and rolled out among joint customers. "We look forward to the first results and to building on this collaboration," concludes Martin.
