Connecting Pioneers with Talent: How Getro Enhances DOEN's Recruitment Efforts

About Stichting DOEN

The DOEN Foundation, established by the Dutch Postcode Lottery (Nationale Postcode Loterij) and the Friends Lottery (VriendenLoterij), is dedicated to fostering a green, social, and creative society. DOEN supports pioneering initiatives with financial backing, access to a robust network, and a powerful communication platform. By offering these resources, DOEN helps start-ups to inspire change and demonstrate that a better world is possible.

As DOEN searched for opportunities to help its partners, the team was eager to leverage Getro to support its growing network. As the Team Officer of the investment team, Katinka Ros acts as the key liaison between portfolio partners and Getro. She oversees partner onboarding, facilitates seamless communication, and provides ongoing support to the portfolio.

Supporting Start-ups Making a Difference

"With the current scarcity in the labor market, start-ups face many hiring challenges. Our Getro job board offers extra reach and support to match impact-driven talent with our start-ups through our network." - Katinka Ros, Team Officer

DOEN's Getro job board enhances the recruitment capabilities of its partners. The DOEN team praises the job board's user-friendliness and efficiency. The simplicity of using Getro allows their start-ups to focus on their core missions—creating impact—while leveraging Getro's job board to manage and display job listings effectively.

"I've been most surprised by how easy the platform is to use. We can easily connect our partners to the job board, so they can focus on making an impact and we can help attract impact-driven talent!" - Katinka

Saving Time with Automated Job Post Aggregation

A standout feature of their job board is its automatic daily updates. This functionality ensures that job listings are consistently current, which is highly valued by DOEN, its partners, and prospective candidates. The up-to-date nature of the job board alleviates administrative burdens, which saves time and ensures that all stakeholders have access to the most current opportunities.

Key Benefits:

  • Hours Saved: Time efficiency through automation
  • Enhanced UX: User-friendliness and efficiency

Seamless Support From Day One

"It is great to have the Getro team's support. The team is responsive, helpful, and a pleasure to work with as we onboard new companies and expand our usage of the job board" - Katinka

Accomplishments and Future Plans

Since launching the job board in April, the average number of monthly visitors to the page has been 1,120. The DOEN team is excited to continue to build on this momentum through posting regularly on LinkedIn and their company newsletter.

The job board has significantly enhanced the visibility of job opportunities for DOEN's partners. The "likely applied" metric provides valuable insights into candidate interest which further validates the job board's impact in attracting talent.

Expanding Impact with Getro

Starting in September, DOEN plans to expand the number of partners using the Getro platform. This expansion aims to increase the reach of the job board and support a larger number of start-ups in their search for skilled, impact-driven individuals.

Takeaways

Since launching, Getro's user-friendly interface, efficient support, and impactful features have streamlined the process of managing job listings. This allows DOEN to better support its partners in reaching potential candidates. As DOEN continues to grow its network of partners on the platform, it remains optimistic about further enhancing its impact and assisting more start-ups in finding talented individuals who share their vision of creating a better world.

"We are really excited that we can support our partners in finding the right talent, without a lot of effort!" -Katinka
