Lead Product Engineer Hiring – Case Study

We have recently conducted a successful hire, resulting in further recruitment support for a new client. We built trust that translates into mutual success.

The client is a US-based organization operating in the Financial Services industry. Although an American company, its team is international (including US, UK, UA, Indian, and Thai employees).

The Company is involved in Digital Asset Management, going through a hyper-growth phase for some time now, gaining further recognition in the domestic market, and serving as a signal investor in disruptive projects. These include custom-made CRMs, trade reporting systems with exchange API connectivity, venture analysis systems, and DEX products, among others, mainly within the DeFi sector.

Growth and new projects have dictated the need to automate processes and establish a development department with a Team Lead. 

What’s the story?

Our client was looking for an agile agency with a solid reputation to lead the recruitment of a Production Engineer. They turned to Talando, who responded quickly and conducted a personalized hiring process.

Talando created a step-by-step recruitment strategy, the most effective solution for employment purposes. We interviewed the client’s technical representative and asked multiple technical questions to fully understand their needs and present the position, its strengths, and its finer aspects in the best possible way.

Thanks to this original strategy, we have an in-depth understanding of the type of candidate that will fit the role in terms of hard and soft skills.

• The team dedicated to this project was involved in research, screening, and interviewing candidates.
• This enabled us to complete the research stage rapidly, and within the first week, we presented two candidates who met all the qualifications and were invited to the technical background.
• This saved our client considerable time and prevented delays in product development and growth targets.

One of the two candidates we proposed was successfully placed as Production Engineer. This excellent candidate is now a team lead and can independently run the project. After the first few weeks, the client confirmed that our candidate: “has been especially great to have in the company and has grown as a leader very well.”

Evaluating our work, the client stated: “You guys have been great (and patient). Much appreciated.”

This recruitment gave rise to further collaboration. We are expanding the team with the client and have already closed two different positions in a newly created vertical.

Good communication, prompt acting, and comprehension of the Company’s needs allow us to support the client in further processes and contribute to the growth of this excellent organization. This gives us the most satisfaction.
