Meet Jason from 100 Thieves

My name is Jason Ton. I'm a CFO and Chief Business Officer. I work for 100 Thieves, we are an entertainment and lifestyle company rooted in gaming culture. And what that means is that we have teams that compete in professional video games called e-sports with content creators, with a media network and with consumer products.

What do Hireframers do for you?

We started off the process with Hireframe, just strictly on the finance and accounting team. We expanded Hireframe to other departments of the company.  And what's  been really impactful is that some of these Hireframers have been some of the most impactful people at the company. They have access to a lot of talented individuals. So whatever department you're currently in, they probably could help you out in other departments of the company as well. Right? 

So don't limit yourself to just thinking about if you're in finance, hey, I'm only looking for Hireframers in finance, but they people who can help in sales ops, and marketing, customer service. So in anything you can think of, they'll go out and find the best candidates for what you're looking for. 

‍

How did you decide to outsource certain roles?

The reason why we went Hireframe as opposed to hiring someone locally was really due to three factors. First one was just the skillset. Do they have the requisite skills for the job? And specifically for this one, they have ASC 606 experience. Second one was speed to hire. A lot of times going through the interview process with someone locally and finding someone who is within the distance of our office, maybe sort of a little difficult at times and going with Hireframe just expands our pool significantly. And the third item is cost, right? Hireframers are significantly cheaper than hiring someone locally full time. So that was a big added benefit. And all three of those put together made sense to go with Hireframe. 

‍

How is Hireframe different from a staffing firm?

With other search firms, it's very transactional. So they'll find you a candidate and they'll staff you. Once they're hired, they walk away and that's the end of the relationship. I think the key difference with Hireframe is that they're with you throughout the whole time. So they treat it sort of like an ongoing relationship instead of a one-time relationship. So since it's an ongoing relationship, you have a customer success team, they have support on their end, they're incentivized to ensure that the Hireframer is successful and that they're working great with the team. And that's an added benefit that I didn't really realize until I went through the process.

Growing working relationships

You have a direct relationship with the Hireframers. I think a lot of times when people think about outsourcing, you outsource them to a company or like a stable of contractors whom you don't really have a direct relationship with because they might swap people in and out or you may go through an intermediary. Whereas this point with Hireframe is that you go directly with the person and being able to develop the relationship, invest in that person and really sort of help level them up and integrate them into your company.

What we've seen with some of our Hireframers who have grown and developed really thus far is that they've taken a lot of more responsibility over time. They've developed institutional knowledge, they've gotten more comfortable in the role. Some of our Hireframers have been here with us since the beginning, so over a year and a half. And over that time, they've really shown their work quality and high level output and people at the company have loved working with them.

Expanding your talent pool

It really expands your sort of talent pool to not just your local area, not even just the US, but internationally as well. It helps to give you instant access to people who have real domain expertise. And it's a really good cost benefit analysis for the company as well, right? Be able to bring on multiple people with a cost of one full time equivalent and really able to expand the scale of your team quickly and in a cost effective manner.
