Technology Hiring

Product & Engineering Team for a Fintech

Eight developers, two QA engineers and a tech lead — interviewed together, shipping in week one.

Project Overview

A Full Product Pod, Hired as One Team

A fintech startup needed an entire product pod before a funding milestone — frontend and backend developers, QA engineers and a tech lead who could set standards from day one. Piecemeal hiring would have cost them the deadline.

  • Challenge — eleven technical hires with stack-specific skills and team chemistry, on a launch deadline.
  • Approach — technical assessments plus pod-style group interviews to test collaboration.
  • Outcome — complete pod placed ahead of the milestone, contributing code in the first sprint.
