The Challenge
Despite an ongoing search over several months, the client struggled to find the right candidate.
The role demanded a combination of skills, including extensive TypeScript experience, backend expertise in technologies such as Redis, SQL, WebSockets, Docker, and Kubernetes, and strong communication skills.
Candidates with this specific skill set were scarce in the market, meaning combining search techniques would be most effective.
Our Solution
We worked directly with the founders to:
We combined targeted searches and competitor headhunting, while leveraging our professional network from previous similar placements. By conducting focused market and competitor analysis, we identified where top talent was most likely to be found and understood current hiring trends.
This allowed us to proactively engage high-quality passive candidates, connecting the client with professionals who were not actively on the job market, and ultimately delivering the right hire quickly and efficiently.
The Result
We were able to identify and engage highly qualified candidates rapidly.
The client successfully hired a Senior JavaScript Engineer who met the technical requirements and cultural fit, significantly reducing the time-to-hire compared to their previous months-long search.
