The Challenge
We needed to find a hands-on leader who could balance technical excellence with strategic oversight. Away from technical ability, they needed someone who had experience:
- Building and mentoring high-performing frontend teams in a hybrid setup
- Setting engineering standards and DevOps best practices in a rapidly scaling startup
Frontend engineers with the right mix of leadership and startup experience were in short supply, and we needed to move quickly – ideally hiring within five weeks to keep product development on track.
Our Solution
Our experience in scaling product and tech teams,
enabled us to deliver quickly, without compromising on
quality. We:
- Mapped the market, looking at over 180 candidates across London and Europe, focusing on engineers who had led builds of data-heavy or analytics driven products.
- Pre-vetted for hands-on React + TypeScript expertise and proven leadership experience.
- Provided transparent communication and weekly progress reporting to keep stakeholders aligned and informed at each stage of the search.
The Result
The role was placed in half the original time line, and has since resulted in a long term partnership with the client, supporting their tech team build out. If you’re is scaling and require a senior hire or broader team build support, we can deliver targeted, specialist talent quickly and effectively.
