Case Studies

Tech Startup CTO Placement

A Series A startup needed a technical co-founder and CTO. Through our contingency recruiting process, we identified and placed a senior engineering leader with 15+ years of experience. The candidate worked on a 6-month contract-to-hire basis, successfully leading the technical team and securing permanent placement after proving their value.

Role: Chief Technology Officer Outcome: Successful permanent hire after 6-month evaluation period

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 while they completed their evaluation.

Roles: Senior DevOps Engineers, Cloud Architects Outcome: 75% conversion rate to permanent positions
