Case Study: Atlassian achieves rapid scaling — 199 hires and £1.11M agency savings with Talentful

How Atlassian made 199 hires in 12 months with Talentful

Atlassian, a global enterprise known for products like Jira and Confluence, needed to scale hiring extremely quickly in 2021 but found its full-cycle recruitment team at capacity and unable to ramp up fast enough in a competitive market. To address this, Atlassian partnered with Talentful, who provided in‑house Talent Partners to strengthen top‑of‑funnel pipelines and accelerate full‑cycle recruitment.

Talentful initially placed five Talent Partners with Atlassian (Feb 2021), delivering regular performance reporting and ROI metrics through QBRs and then scaling to 35 in‑house partners. In the first six months they hit 100% of the target (four hires per person per quarter); over 12 months Talentful helped hire 199 people totalling £24,611,389 in salaries, achieved an 80% acceptance rate, earned an NPS of 10, and saved Atlassian £1,112,754 in agency fees in Q4.
