Approach

The main challenge that Immuta faced was hiring into their Data Security and Data Management verticals, they needed expert professionals in Security, Marketing, Engineering, Ethics and Law. They were also scaling into the European market so while their internal team were focusing on other areas – they partnered with Nicholson to assist them in filling key marketing roles in the UK. 

As we previously had a good relationship with Colin Mitchell, the VP of EMEA, we came on board as a trusted firm who already understood their company values. 

Result: 3 strategic hires

After putting together a shortlist of 5 suitable candidates, and taking them through the process, we hired the Director of Marketing in the UK in January 2022.

This was followed by the placement of a Regional Sales Director in Sweden and the Director of Global Integrated Marketing, again in the UK.

According to Yen Thieu, People Partner at Immuta, the success of Nicholson and Immuta’s relationship is due to the Nicholson consultants’ extensive experience, their solid understanding of the customers’ needs and their ability to respond.
