The partnership
Lyka encountered a formidable task: hiring skilled professionals in various fields such as Product, Engineering, Design, Marketing, People, Strategy, and Manufacturing. The challenge was further amplified by a limited talent infrastructure and the support of just one internal Talent Partner/People Operations Associate.
What we delivered
Enter, The Lab17! We hit the ground running to achieve Lyka’s hiring goals. This started with filling 10 crucial vacancies, including a long-vacant Head of Engineering position.
By Q1 of 2023, the partnership had exceeded its target by filling more positions than initially anticipated, including out-of-scope roles. The Lab17 also provided Interview Training to the Lyka team, and the partnership facilitated the growth of Lyka’s B2B arm, which works on initiatives to support existing customers and acquire new ones.
