Nebojsa Andelkovic

Head Of Research at Advertima

Nebojsa Andelkovic had a very specific need. He was looking to build a team of expert machine learning engineers for his company, technical provider Advertima.

That’s when he thought of Sandra Prvulovic, co-founder and lead recruiter at Fenix HR, who he had first heard of 10 years ago when she was head of HR for a leading IT firm. So he contacted her and explained his situation.

Getting to work straight away, within a month Sandra had found him a candidate who was the perfect match in terms of skillset and cultural fit. Since then Nebojsa has recruited another candidate through Fenix HR and the hiring process is ongoing with the recruitment agency now providing the company with a constant stream of candidates.

And with Advertima expanding all three of its offices in Switzerland, Serbia and Germany, its need for new recruits will only be greater.

“I realised immediately that Sandra understood exactly the profile of candidate we were looking for – that they should be not only highly qualified, technical, experienced and talented, but also be the right cultural fit and have the same mindset as us,” said Nebojsa. “What impressed me most about her was how simple and easy to understand she makes the whole process.

“She got it right away – we didn’t need to spend a whole lot of time going into detail about what our requirements were. And the proof is reflected in the high quality of candidate they have been able to deliver.”
