Challenge

With its accelerated growth, the Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer faced significant challenges in sourcing skilled engineering talent to scale the high growth technology platform. Building and maintaining a robust and scalable safety platform required a team of top-tier developers and engineers. However, the competitive tech hiring market, coupled with limited time to dedicate to the recruiting process, made sourcing high-quality candidates challenging.

Solution

Recognizing the need for a professional recruiting partner, the CTO engaged with a handful of recommended recruiting agencies, including Wasserman Talent Solutions, and quickly found that Wasserman Talent Solutions (“WTS”) stood out amongst the agencies he was working with for their efficiency, speed, and quality of candidates. “I had been struggling on a role or two that I had spent a decent amount of time on,” the CTO explained. “WTS was by far the fastest response, with the best candidates.”

Within just two weeks, Wasserman Talent Solutions delivered multiple high-caliber candidates, enabling the client to make hiring decisions quickly. “Once that happened, I started giving my best roles to WTS immediately… I didn’t send them anywhere else. I just went to Wasserman Talent Solutions because they just got me the answers the fastest.” Over the next two years, WTS became the primary recruiting partner, filling 75% of the company’s engineering roles and helping to scale quickly with high caliber talent in order to meet and exceed the scalability needs of the organization.
