The Challenge
EZRA's rapid North American expansion faced critical sales hiring obstacles. Their existing account executives lacked the aggression needed for competitive markets, while skills mismatches within the sales team created performance gaps. A lengthy hiring process and reliance on the parent company hires limited access to external talent with essential HR-tech experience.
