The Challenge: Need for Lift-Off

Red Bull’s vision was set: they were ready to soar. Their ambitious growth trajectory demanded a team that could match pace. Yet, the existing hiring mechanism was akin to a prop plane when they needed a rocket. Multiple departments, from Sales to Marketing, yearned for fresh talent. They needed a recruitment partner who could not only understand their unique needs but also deliver at the speed of Red Bull.

Protis Global was selected by the new CEO of Red Bull, Sélim Chidiac, to be their exclusive talent access partner. We conducted six searches across sales, marketing, and operations in the Chicago market.

Keeping Cultural Consistency to Protect Brand Integrity

We stepped into the arena ready to ignite Red Bull’s ambitions. Our first move? A strategic overhaul of their hiring process, trimming it down to an impressively efficient average of 3 interviews per hire. This allowed Red Bull to bypass the turbulence of a protracted recruitment cycle, saving them precious time and resources. 

We immersed ourselves in the Red Bull ethos, understanding their culture, their mission, and their vision. This deep dive enabled us to attract candidates who were more than just qualified – they were Red Bull material, ready to contribute to the brand’s audacious goals. 

In the case of Red Bull, we needed talent who possessed strong analytic skills — but were not too rigid. This would signal a functional shift and maintain cultural consistency.
