Lyrebird Health is an AI-powered medical scribe platform helping clinicians automate documentation and reclaim time for patient care.

In Motion was brought in to solve a high-stakes hiring problem: critical gaps, failed suppliers, and no functioning system in place.

What began as a rescue mission turned into a ground-up build of Lyrebird's hiring engine, enabling the team to scale with quality, speed, and clarity.

The Situation

  • Lyrebird had recently raised a $12M Series A and needed to scale GTM, product, and ops functions rapidly.

  • A previous embedded supplier had underperformed and exited.

  • A new local supplier was engaged, but failed to deliver the urgency and quality needed.

  • Hiring was fragmented: no unified process, inconsistent tooling, and unclear ownership.

  • The ATS was expensive, poorly adopted, and misaligned to actual needs.

  • CEO was directly involved in nearly every hire, creating bottlenecks.

  • Candidate response times exceeded 60 days; role visibility was outdated and unmanaged.

  • External agency spend was trending upward with little ROI or oversight.

Engagement

Initially brought in to fill urgent roles, In Motion quickly became the operational engine behind Lyrebird’s hiring turnaround.

  • Secured business-critical hires across Sales, Strategy & Ops, and Engineering

  • Outperformed the local supplier in a direct comparison and was retained

  • Partnered daily with CEO, CFO, COO, and cross-functional leads

  • Conducted a full audit of hiring systems, ownership, tools, and workflows

  • Delivered a complete hiring overhaul: "How We Hire at Lyrebird"

  • Replaced the ATS and fully re-implemented a new system in under 2 weeks

  • Designed scorecards, interview plans, approval flows, and candidate experiences

  • Trained hiring managers, formalised the culture interview, and drove adoption

  • Supported the UK expansion with early strategic hires

The Results

  • 14 hires in 2 months

  • $100k+ in agency fees avoided (incl. $50k saved on Head of Engineering search)

  • Biggest sales month recorded following GTM hires

  • Time-to-hire reduced by weeks; candidate response times cut from 60+ days to <72 hours

  • CEO time reclaimed to focus on growth and capital planning

  • Hiring engine now operating independently with clear ownership and governance

  • Engagement extended from 3 months to 6, with another 6-month runway possible

Impact

Internal clarity and confidence restored

  • Candidate retention and team alignment improved

  • Founders refocused on scale, not sourcing

  • Hiring now seen as a strategic asset, not a bottleneck

Why It Matters

Where other suppliers struggled, In Motion delivered. Fast. Calm. High quality.

Not just a recruiter. A partner who builds the machine.
