A growing SaaS company doubled its engineering team without slowing down.

We placed eight senior engineers and a VP of Engineering across two quarters. Every candidate was technically screened on our bar before they ever saw a hiring manager. All nine placements stayed past their first anniversary.

[ The challenge ]

They had raised a Series B and needed to double engineering in two quarters. Their one internal recruiter could not screen for senior technical depth, and a string of mis-hires had already cost them momentum.

[ Our approach ]

We took the role briefs from each engineering lead and ran our own technical screen before anyone reached a hiring manager. Candidates who passed came with notes on where they were strong and where they would need support. We managed every offer to close.

[ The outcome ]
