Client Success Story: Tech Recruiting in Action

A Series A SaaS company needed to hire 12 engineers across 3 countries in 6 weeks. We sourced from our network across Poland, Ukraine, and Romania, screened 400+ candidates, and delivered a shortlist of 28 pre-vetted engineers. The client extended offers to 14 and closed 12 — all within 5 weeks, at a cost-per-hire 40% below their US-based recruiter.
