Case Studies
Tech Startup VP of Engineering Placement
A fast growing tech startup neeeded an experiencced VP of Engineering to lead their engineering team as their CTO wanted to step into a non-management role. Through our contingency recruiting process, we identified and placed a senior engineering leader with 20+ years of professional experience who had previously been CTO at 5 different public companies. The companies has since grown through multiple rounds of funding and is a category leader.
Role: VP of Engineering Outcome: Successful placement of senior engineering leader
Enterprise DevOps Team Building
A Fortune 500 company needed to build a DevOps team quickly but wanted to evaluate candidates thoroughly. We provided 4 DevOps engineers on contract-to-hire terms. After 3 months, the company converted 3 engineers to permanent employees and extended the contract for the 4th until they eventually converted that person to full-time as well.
Roles: Senior DevOps Engineers Outcome: 100% conversion rate to permanent positions
