Issue

The client approached us to find a skilled product analyst who could help identify growth opportunities and bottlenecks from raw data.
Candidate Profile
Product Analyst with 3+ years of experience
Experience
  • Standard analytics platforms and BI tools
  • Strong knowledge of math statistics
  • Experience with A/B testing
  • Fluent in both Russian and English
Challenge
We were looking for a Russian-speaking candidate based outside of Russia. Plus, the project was located in Japan, so the candidate had to be ready to work in JST

Solution

Geography of product analyst search
The Social Discovery Group team had a perfect match with the very first candidate we proposed, and they extended an offer. Unfortunately, human factors came into play, and the candidate did not fully integrate with the team. While this is a rare occurrence in our experience, we always offer free replacements for candidates who don’t pass the probation period. This was exactly what happened: the client requested a replacement and we quickly restarted the search process.
We agreed to present at least three resumes per week and maintained that pace until we achieved our goal. We tapped into every available resource while staying in constant contact with SDG’s recruiters to ensure smooth collaboration and quick results.

Results

The recruiter's funnel for a product analyst vacancy
The job had standard requirements for experience and skills, but the time zone made it a real challenge to find relevant candidates. We had to pull from every corner, and that is where our years of expertise and extensive candidate database came in handy. We used every possible resource, leaving no stone unturned. I believe that was the key to our success — searching everywhere and never giving up!
Recruiter's Feedback
The Lucky Hunter team understood our needs quickly and matched the candidate profile perfectly. The task was particularly challenging due to the narrow geographic search, but despite this, Lucky Hunter provided us with an excellent selection of relevant candidates. It was a pleasure working with Lucky Hunter recruiters: they were always in touch, responsive, delivered on time, and adapted to our needs!
