The Need
Our recruitment challenge
In DK, Tiki found a recruitment partner that is able to understand and serve their hiring needs from their days as an early-stage self-funded startup, to over a decade later as a thriving, profitable company. During their early stages, this entailed building entire functions from the ground up without cutting corners and safeguarding company culture during hyper-growth. As they scaled, Tiki looked to DK to hire leads and leaders in Product and Engineering, leveraging DK’s expertise and rich network in AdTech.

“Digital Knack is a 360 player in talent consulting, and they’ve proven to be invaluable in elevating our engineering and data capacities, without losing sight of culture.”
Melanie Dabu Managing Partner, DK
“Being Tiki’s talent partner over the years continues to be a rare and fulfilling experience. Time and time again, people we’ve recruited to Tiki come to us with immense gratitude for helping them land one of their favorite jobs in their careers. Working with them is my thesaurus entry for “the opposite of transactional”, treated by the leadership team not just as strategic partners, but as a part of the Tiki family.”
