Within 9 Months
Pryon received a round of funding and needed to hire up 10 people to their engineering and research teams within 9-12 months.
The management at Pryon decided to try hatch I.T.’s Scale hiring model because they had heard about success at other companies in their investor’s portfolio.
Our initial 12-month agreement with Pryon gave them dedicated recruitment and recruitment-marketing support. This included sourcing new talent, filtering applicants, and standing-up an efficient recruitment process.
Over the course of 9 months, we filled 8 openings at Pryon (including positions like Full Stack Software Engineers, VP of Product, Machine Learning Engineer, Solutions Manager, UI Engineer, and more).
Our Scale model saved Pryon 57% ($166,000) on their hires, as compared to typical 20% recruitment contingency fees.
What Pryon Loved about working with hatch I.T.
Pryon no longer had to spend time screening over 5,000 applications.
We found candidates outside of their network with varied backgrounds.
We found candidates who were a cultural fit and were excited about Pryon's product.
“The model you guys have feels like you’re an extended part of our team rather than a mercenary.”
– Igor Jablokov
Founder and CEO
Our Process
Candidate Delivery
We source candidates who match your technical needs and screen them to make sure they will be a good fit for your culture and want to work at your startup.
“At times, I’m even surprised at how dead-on the candidates are.”
Candidate Experience
Our embedded approach enables us to be transparent with candidates about who your company is and why it would be a good match for them. This transparency from the beginning leads to happy hires and better retention.
