Filling 15 Roles in 90 Days for a Funded Health-Tech Scale-Up

Context

A Canadian health-tech organization had secured significant growth funding and was moving from early-stage build to structured scale. With investor and product timelines in motion, building the right team quickly was a direct operational priority.

Challenge

The organization needed approximately 15 roles filled within a three-month window, had no internal talent acquisition function in place, and limited employer brand recognition in a competitive health-tech market. Previous agency experience had produced inconsistent outcomes at high cost, and reactive job posting wasn't going to keep pace with the timeline.

Solution

Oxford + Richmond embedded directly with the organization, starting with strategic alignment sessions to clarify role prioritization, organizational structure, required competencies, and compensation realities. From that foundation, Oxford + Richmond helped leadership define a clear Employee Value Proposition and built proactive sourcing pipelines across every functional area. Embedded recruiters owned the full candidate experience, provided structured reporting dashboards to leadership, and supported offer negotiation and onboarding transition throughout.

Result

15 roles were filled within the three-month window.
