A very specialized industry

As a YouTube agency “Klein aber” operates in a very specialized industry: They regularly look for YouTube-savvy people who can’t be found through traditional job advertisements.

Over 9 months, the company was able to grow by almost 20 employees, filling over 50% of its vacancies through its own employees.

Peter Vollmar
“Before the introduction of Sprad, we were unsuccessful in our search for specific positions.”

For us, it was clear that Sprad would be worthwhile if we could fill two Writer vacancies in the next 3 months – and we actually managed to do that after just 2 months, so Sprad had already paid for itself for us. The automatic network suggestions from contacts that you don’t consciously think about is very helpful. I am also particularly satisfied with the support and the quick answers to my questions.

Peter Vollmar · Head of People
“I think the tool is great! Sprad is simple, clear and you can get started quickly.”

Before Sprad, I don’t think there was a referral program or only an unofficial one along the lines of “Hey, we’ve got something new, send it to someone.” I think it’s really good that Sprad exists. You can tell that something is happening with my recommendation and I also like the gamification approach with the points, that it’s not just the attitude that is rewarded.
