Worldcoin

Head of Talent

Background

Worldcoin is a new global digital currency that will launch by giving a free share to every human on Earth.

The problem

Worldcoin was preparing to scale and needed to 2x their headcount immediately to keep pace with business growth. The Head of People was going on parental leave so there was pressure to find a top-tier Head of Talent in very short order. After working with another firm unsuccessfully for 6 months, Plenty was hired with a target of <2 months to fill the role.

Plenty's solution

Knowing the timeline, Plenty was ‘all-hands-on deck’ with research and networking. Our emphasis on candidate experience paid off as Tony, a former candidate with a pre-existing Plenty relationship, was presented and hired in 3 weeks. Worldcoin also found 3 silver-medalists in just under 1 month with Plenty.
