Client Opportunity

Orna was tasked with aggressive hiring goals and had plans to build out multiple functional teams in a short timeline. Hiring top talent at all levels was critical for their growth plans.  The Bowdoin Group was hired to help Orna build a best-in-class recruitment process; sourcing and attracting excellent candidates, implementing an operationally sound process and ultimately placing top talent. Throughout our engagement, they have raised Series B funding and have formed a partnership with Merck. They needed a partner that could scale up and down quickly based on different milestones in their growth.
