The Challenge
HireBetter embarked on a 2.5-year outsourced recruiting collaboration with a Client that provides data science tools, Machine learning operations (MLOps), and data & model management to empower their customers and community with AI capabilities to propel projects forward.
There were several key priorities including increasing diversity in the Client’s workforce, and successfully filling multiple highly technical positions across various locations. The hiring emphasis was on specialized talent required for launching new offerings and enhancing existing data science platforms, which necessitated expertise in Python, C++, Java, Kubernetes, Docker, Linux, Compilers, Go, and more. This initiative also targeted technical roles within Sales and Customer Support, demanding a high-level understanding of the platforms involved.
Time constraints, coupled with the need for diverse expertise in specific programming languages and tools, posed significant hurdles for the Client in achieving recruitment goals.
Solution
To address these challenges, HireBetter’s strategic sourcing approach leveraged a variety of platforms and networks to tap into passive candidates who were not actively seeking employment.
Outsourcing the talent sourcing process to HireBetter played a pivotal role in the client’s growth strategy by freeing up the two existing, internal recruiters’ time and in a remarkable reduction in the time spent on sourcing. HireBetter managed the initial candidate contact including the phone screening process and ensured the verification of essential aspects such as skills, experience, compensation expectations, and availability.

The identification and connection with exceptional candidates not only facilitated ongoing recruitment efforts but also provided a solid foundation for future hiring needs. The data-driven approach allowed for the systematic re-contacting of candidates, ensuring a sustained talent pool for the client’s evolving requirements.
