Gong's EMEA Hiring Partnership: Tech & Sales Growth

R&D Scale Up Partnership

Gong planned to create 80 new jobs in 2022 in their newly established EMEA headquarters. The Mason Alexander team were chosen to build out their R&D sales & operations positions.​

As it was a greenfield build, we spent the first 3 weeks introducing resources to interview with the Engineering consultant to calibrate on technical skills and cultural alignment.

Scaling Gong’s EMEA Tech & Sales Teams: A Strategic Hiring Partnership

Challenge

Gong, the Reality Platform leveraging artificial intelligence to transform go-to-market teams, planned to create 80 new jobs in 2024 at its recently established EMEA headquarters in Dublin. Gong was looking to hire positions rapidly in the following sectors to meet the growing demand within their customer base and for their product:

  • Engineering
  • Sales & Marketing
  • Customer Success
  • Information Security Position

Solution

Gong selected Mason Alexander as their recruiter of choice for their R&D builds and sales operation positions due to our proven expertise and success in hiring in these areas. We worked with Gong to understand their Employee Value Proposition (EVP) and workplace culture, communicating their dynamic work environment to potential hires while ensuring the Gong brand was fully protected and respected in the marketplace.


With a high level of technical requirements for each position and a tight deadline, we agreed on an SLA with Gong and implemented a well-developed process to ensure thorough screening of each candidate.

Result

Our marketing department worked closely with the key stakeholders within the Gong community to bring the Gong brand to market via our joint marketing options. We organised and managed a launch event night through which members of our candidate talent pool could sign up and attend in order to discover more about the Gong community, products, and work environment. 


This event was hugely successful, generating interest within Gong’s target audience. Mason Alexander is continuing to support Gong with both key individual hires and team builds across their technology function.
