 Leonid’s mission is to ‘redefine recruitment’ and it is doing this through an innovative approach which saves hiring managers hours on the recruitment process, all the while making it more efficient and enjoyable for everyone involved.  This is primarily thanks to two core services: Magic Month and LeonidLive.

 Video shortlists – ‘LeonidLive’ – enable hiring managers and their colleagues to get a sense of each candidate’s personality and communication skills, before deciding whether or not to proceed. This method saves Leonid’s clients on average 10 hours per hire.
