Gateway specialist, closed.
Location: California, USA
Sector: Content & Media
Job Title: Principal Embedded Software Developer
Service Provided: Specialist Recruitment
Shortlist timeframe: 3 weeks, 5 Candidates shortlisted for interview
Project brief to closure: 9 weeks
The challenge: Find an extremely senior developer with solid experience in highly specific areas relating to embedded device software development. This individual would join a small, select team of very senior software developers – individuals who elsewhere would be leading teams themselves. A highly difficult search due to team seniority and very specific technical requirements of the role.
Our solution: Due to our detailed understanding of the tech stack and industry, we were able to search using terms related to, but not specifically referencing, the core requirements. What this allowed was for a far more thorough search, going much deeper than a standard ‘keyword bingo’ search ever could, thus ensuring that interesting profiles who may normally not show up, were not slipping through the net.
The outcome: We were successful in delivering an individual who had the technical expertise and personality necessary to join such a senior team. With major growth and projects in the pipeline for this client, it was of paramount importance that their most senior development team gained another individual.
