The challenge

Post-Series-C growth targets required tripling engineering in a year. Two prior agency partners had delivered volume but a 38% first-year attrition rate, and the CTO had lost confidence in outsourced hiring.

What we did

  • Rebuilt the scorecard with the engineering leadership before sourcing anyone, replacing years-of-experience filters with work-sample evidence.
  • Moved to a single four-stage process with a published timeline and a 48-hour feedback commitment.
  • Ran structured debriefs after every final stage and fed the outcomes back into the ranking model weekly.
We stopped measuring our recruiters on CVs sent. HiringNow was the only partner that welcomed that change.
