Scaling Engineering Teams
How we helped a SaaS startup 3x engineering capacity with 65% cost savings
The Challenge
A rapidly growing SaaS startup needed to scale its engineering team to meet aggressive product deadlines while managing costs. Their in-house recruitment efforts were falling short, and freelance solutions lacked reliability.
They needed speed, quality, and long-term value.
The Strategy
EllaJobs deployed a dedicated technical recruiter, conducted 3-tier vetting of applicants, and leveraged our national database of vetted software engineers. We implemented async video interviews, automated screening, and job-fit matching algorithms.
Within 6 weeks, we helped the startup hire 12 senior developers, 4 DevOps engineers, and 3 QA specialists.

"EllaJobs didn't just help us hire — they helped us build a scalable engineering culture. We couldn't have done it without them."
