With over 50 million customers worldwide, Bupa is a leading multinational healthcare company that provides a range of health and care services, including insurance, hospitals, and clinics.

Our relationship with Bupa began through a personal recommendation – having supported an engineering manager earlier in his career journey, we were his first port of call when he moved to Bupa Dental and needed to build out his team. Having built a foundation of trust over the course of several years, Trust in SODA were retained on an exclusive basis. Working across London and Bristol, we successfully delivered five key placements critical to Bupa’s technology function:

• QA Engineer
• Lead User Researcher
• Full Stack Developer
• Data Engineer
• .Net Developer

ComAve are building the first-ever super app designed exclusively for sports fans, turning passion into rewards. ComAve is redefining what it means to be a fan, blending technology, gamification, and loyalty rewards to create a one-of-a-kind ecosystem where fans always win. 

After landing £100m in funding, they were experiencing serious growth and had no talent or HR function. Trust in SODA started with recruiting the HR team and then became the talent function. Setting the strategy for all five of the Comave businesses, we provided a linked ecosystem for talent attraction and management. 

We successfully recruited across Sales, Technology, Engineering, Operations and Marketing, from Junior to C Suite including the COO, across Europe, covering Eastern Europe, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and France, as well as the UK. Following the successful completion of multiiple placements, we are delighted to now be supporting Comave in North America and South America. 

One of the most important requirement to Comave is speed of delivery, and the SODA team have delivered every time. In addition we have supported with an EOR Solution, and implemented a Workable ATS for the team there. 

As Delivery Hero was going through a period of growth due to the internationalisation of their product offering, they onboarded SODA as an embedded partner to assist with reducing time to hire and accessing international talent pools. Working closely with internal stakeholders, we worked across multiple business units and were successful in making 46 hires across React, Mobile, Engineering Management, Go, Flutter, Product, Scala, Data Science, Data Engineers, and MLOps.

Fidelis is a specialist insurer and reinsurer with long-standing industry relationships and more than 30 years of underwriting, risk management, claims, and actuarial knowledge.

Our relationship with Fidelis began through our sister brand, Broadgate, who were retained to support on transformation, legal, and compliance-focused roles.

What began as a Broadgate relationship soon evolved into a cross-brand collaboration, with Trust in SODA stepping in to cover Onda’s growing technology needs.

Since then, we’ve made more than 30 successful placements across Tech Architecture, Software Engineering, SQL, PowerApps, QA, Actuarial, Underwriting, Risk, Compliance, FP&A, and Credit Control.

One of the toughest challenges was the requirement for all roles to be based onsite in Dublin, five days a week. By working closely with Onda’s onsite MSP, we streamlined the process, built trust with candidates, and ensured the right skills were secured despite the market constraints.

Founded in 2022, Onda is committed to providing customers with simpler and more effective cyber insurance coverage in the face of increasingly sophisticated threats.

Having previously worked with Trust in SODA’s consultants at a previous organisation, Onda’s hiring manager was confident in the value we could bring and chose to engage us for a new mandate.

Onda set an exceptionally high bar for candidate quality and needed a partner who could deliver critical hires in a tight timeframe, all while competing with other projects in the market.

We partnered with Onda on an exclusive basis, enabling us to carry out a thorough search across our community networks and the broader market.

With regular catchups alongside the TA team, we quickly aligned on the role requirements, including candidate profiles and culture fit.

By leaning on a deep understanding of Onda’s business imperatives, we successfully secured the two critical hires under demanding market conditions.

QuantSpark are a strategic analytics and AI consultancy that supercharges its clients’ operating models with advanced technology and bespoke, data-driven products.

After being recommended to QuantSpark by a previous customer, Trust in SODA was engaged alongside competing agencies to deliver a critical leadership role; however, due to SODA’s fast provision of high-quality profiles, the team was soon retained exclusively.

QuantSpark were looking for a blend of deep technical expertise and management experience, and they were operating inside strict budget parameters.

SODA conducted cultural interviews, competitor analysis, market mapping, and technical testing to ensure the right fit for the role, ultimately filling the position on time and in budget.
