From a single hire to a full-fledged European analytics team - we helped Alert Media scale their global operations in just 5 months.
Alert Media
Global Intelligence, Local Impact
Alert Media, an Austin-based Emergency Communication Solutions platform, partnered with Propel to establish their first European presence in Dublin. What began as a search for a single global intelligence analyst evolved into building a complete local team, demonstrating both the adaptability of our approach and Alert Media's growing European ambitions.
The Challenge
Alert Media had no existing presence in the UK and European talent markets, requiring a partner with deep expertise in both technology scaling and analytics. Speed was crucial, as they needed rapid access to high-quality candidates. While the initial requirement was focused, it needed flexibility as their strategy evolved throughout the engagement.
The Solution
Our specialised contract team conducted comprehensive market mapping, combining targeted headhunting with strategic networking to reach top talent. We delivered an exceptional candidate shortlist within 4 weeks and adapted our approach as the client's needs expanded from one to multiple hires. Throughout the process, we maintained high-quality standards while scaling up the recruitment effort.
The Results
We successfully placed four high-calibre analysts within a 5-month period, establishing Alert Media's first European team in Dublin. This built a strong foundation for their UK and European operations, leading to a continued partnership and additional successful placements. The project demonstrated our ability to scale recruitment efforts in line with evolving client needs, while maintaining consistent quality throughout.
