In 2016, we founded Oneo, a digital community like no other. Our mission was clear: to bring together the best and brightest minds, curating a pool of exceptional talent that would shape the future of the digital landscape. With unwavering determination, we set out to transform the industry and change lives.
At the core of our philosophy was the belief that true excellence could only be achieved by working with specialists at the top of their game. We shunned the traditional job board approach, instead opting for a meticulously tailored headhunting process. Each candidate was carefully selected, sought after, and handpicked to ensure that only the crème de la crème made their way into our community.
Our dedication to quality extended beyond just sourcing talent. We understood that the recruitment process required a deep understanding of industry requirements. That’s why we relied on industry peers, not recruiters, to vet candidates and interrogate client specifications. This approach eliminated confusion and allowed us to hit the ground running, producing a superior caliber of talent that surpassed all expectations.
Gone were the days of candidates feeling worn down by the industry fatigue associated with traditional recruitment agencies. We had disrupted the norm, offering a fresh and energizing experience for both candidates and companies. We never resorted to bulk sending out CVs, for that was not our way. Instead, we meticulously built a comprehensive funnel that every candidate had to navigate, ensuring that only the most suitable and passionate individuals made it through.
The innovation and commitment of our team were further demonstrated by the development of our own Applicant Tracking System (ATS). From scratch, we crafted a tool that kept us agile, organized, and focused on delivering a high-quality output. This bespoke system also enabled us to customize and adapt our onboarding efforts, taking on the bulk administrative work for our clients, freeing them to focus on what truly mattered.
But our mission did not stop at finding talent; it was rooted in nurturing lasting relationships. Recognizing the value of retention, we actively engaged with our candidates, building a genuine connection that extended beyond the initial hiring process. This dedication fostered a sense of loyalty and trust, ensuring that high-quality candidates stayed connected and eager to work with our esteemed client base.
What set us apart from the rest was our vast network of personal relationships within the industry. These deep connections allowed us to reach candidates who were often difficult to find and brought a unique advantage to our clients. Leveraging our industry knowledge and expertise, we subjected our candidates to a rigorous yet streamlined vetting process, ensuring that only the best of the best were presented, surpassing the offerings of a typical recruiter.
As the years passed, our reputation flourished, and our influence spread globally. With a pool of over 10,000 exceptional candidates and partnerships with more than 60 companies across the world, we became synonymous with excellence. Our heartfelt commitment to the industry, our candidates, and our clients transformed the landscape of digital recruitment, leaving an indelible mark on the heritage of our company.
The story of Oneo is one of passion, innovation, and the unyielding pursuit of excellence. It is a tale that reminds us that when talent and opportunity converge, magic happens. And in the heart of this digital revolution, we, Josh Cowan, and our team created a legacy that will continue to inspire and shape the future of the industry for generations to come.
