Recruitment
Background
Scaling a sports technology product requires close coordination between product development, go-to-market execution, legal operations, and creative innovation.
As Dys Padel grew, the company needed to strengthen its internal capabilities across sales, product ownership, legal support, and AI-driven content creation. Hiring had to move quickly while maintaining alignment across very different role profiles and stakeholder expectations.
The challenge was not only speed, but building a hiring process that could scale alongside the product.
Challenges
When Dys Padel partnered with OnHires, the hiring challenge extended beyond filling individual vacancies.
The company was scaling across multiple functions simultaneously, each with distinct evaluation criteria and success signals. Decision-making involved multiple stakeholders, and roles spanned both technical and non-technical domains.
At the same time, Dys Padel needed a consistent and predictable hiring process that could support fast execution without sacrificing quality or collaboration.
Limited availability of specialized talent across sports technology, product, and sales roles.
Parallel hiring across product, sales, legal, and creative functions.
Competitive market for senior product and AI-driven creative talent.
Distributed decision-making across multiple stakeholders.
Need for a scalable hiring process with clear role-specific success criteria.
