“Inga was transformative to our recruitment team at a time when it was critical that we got it right. Her proactivity and passion for finding the best solutions and talent meant she had a significant and long-lasting impact on our hiring process and growth overall".
"When applying for Duel, I didn’t have any previous tech or startup experience. Inga created a process that screened all candidates based on culture and transferable skills giving a range of different applicants the opportunity to excel.
Fast forward 4 years down the line and I have grown from a junior position to the Head of People at Duel, and still carry Inga’s ethos of hiring within the business today."
“Inga totally transformed how we hire. From defining our pipeline process to developing a hiring framework that enabled us to attract diverse and ideal-fit candidates, and ultimately helped us establish a world-class team of Marketing, Product, and Customer Success people.”
