The Roo Partners process moves through five unique stages that are designed as an efficient route to client success
During the discovery phase, we work with our clients to develop a clear understanding of their organization's goals, challenges, and culture, as well as the specific requirements for the C-suite positions.
We target sourcing up to 75 profiles to assess and identify the preliminary active prospects. While sourcing continues throughout the lifecycle of an engagement, the initial active prospects are put through a first round of screenings.
During calibration, we review the initial results and present the leading candidates to our client. A key component of calibration is measuring the progress against the initial strategy.
55% of all our placements come from the calibration presentation. This level of success is directly correlated to our extensive diligence early in the search with regards to developing a strong strategy and our aggressive push to attract top talent.
Once finalists are identified, Roo Partners supports both the client and the candidate through the last stretch of client-led interviews. With ongoing check-ins throughout the hiring process and in the first two years of placement, we ensure success for our clients.
Our commitment to our clients means that even when a candidate seems like a perfect fit, we continue sourcing for the role until the offer is accepted and the candidate begins their new position.
Founders and entrepreneurs often face the daunting task of navigating unforeseen challenges and uncertainties. However, their ability to envision and shape the future is paramount to achieving success. TempMee’s founders, Ed Thomas and Cary Gahm’s partnership with Roo not only exceeded their financial expectations but also delivered invaluable insights and talent solutions that played a pivotal role in their success.
TempMee’s mission: to address the pervasive staffing shortages within the dental industry. Leveraging advanced algorithms, the platform matches dental professionals with offices in need of temporary assistance. The venture quickly gained momentum, but Ed and Cary recognized the need for a strategic partner to facilitate scalable growth.
Roo Partners, not only provided crucial initial funding but also introduced a holistic framework that combined capital infusion, growth strategy, and talent development.
Ed Thomas’s belief in Roo’s Paradigm Shift model was not just about financial investment; it was about a deep commitment to understanding and addressing the real-world challenges faced by founders. The collaboration transcended traditional consulting relationships. Ed and Cary found Roo’s approach to be “wildly collaborative.” This description captures the depth of engagement between the two entities.
One of the critical aspects of TempMee’s expansion was talent acquisition. Roo Partners played an integral role in identifying and recruiting top talent, particularly VPs of marketing and sales. These strategic placements exceeded expectations and added substantial value, both quantitatively and qualitatively.
The partnership exemplifies the power of visionary entrepreneurship and strategic collaboration. The founder’s foresight, coupled with Roo’s unique process and deep operational insights, transformed TempMee into a formidable player in the dental staffing industry. This case study serves as an educational testament to the benefits of a holistic, hands-on approach to venture capital and strategic partnership in fostering entrepreneurial success.
