Easy Agile
How The Lab17 accelerated hiring priorities and levelled up talent capabilities
Easy Agile is an Australian based SaaS company, building products which integrate with Atlassian’s flagship product, Jira and help users all over the world not only do agile ceremonies, but be agile in everything they do.
The challenge
Easy Agile had been slowly growing their team without a TA Specialist and were at a point where they wanted to speed up hiring and grow the team.
Two of their leaders had previously worked with the Lab17 in other companies and saw great results, delivered quickly. They deliberated hiring internally versus bringing on the Lab17 but opted for a partnership with us as they were bringing in a small team of experts, rather than one person.

As founders we were looking for a recruitment partner that could take us on a journey - improving our confidence and skills with hiring, while also introducing us to new team members that had much deeper capabilities and experience than ourselves. Cloë, Jess, and the Lab17 team have excelled. They have trained all of our people leaders on hiring practices and techniques, ensured we met our diversity objectives, managed our time and energy levels through the recruitment journey on different roles, and have basically just been fun to work with. Can’t recommend them higher. Thanks team.
