Scaling a FinTech from 40 to 200 in 12 months
A high-growth fintech needed to quintuple headcount without diluting its engineering bar or culture. We built the hiring engine to do it.
The Challenge
Facing a Series B mandate to scale rapidly, the client's lean internal team could not source, assess, and onboard at the required velocity — while a single mis-hire risked the culture that made them successful.
Our Approach
We embedded a dedicated talent pod, rebuilt the interview architecture around structured, bias-reduced assessment, and stood up an ATS-driven pipeline with clear SLAs. A calibrated scorecard kept the quality bar consistent across every panel.
The Outcome
The client hit its headcount plan two months early, cut time-to-hire by more than a third, and maintained a 94% offer-acceptance rate — with first-year retention outperforming their historical baseline.
