Scaling a Series-B IoT startup from twenty to ninety engineers in two release cycles.
Hackathon-driven sourcing identified seventy engineers in six weeks. A co-developed assessment harness compressed the technical loop from days to hours and shipped two product releases on time.
What the client was up against.
Just-funded Series-B startup needed to grow from 20 engineers to 90 in time for two back-to-back release cycles. Existing recruiting flow couldn't handle the volume; technical loops were taking 8-12 days per candidate.
How tekfortune ran the engagement.
tekfortune ran a series of three hackathon-driven sourcing events that surfaced 70 engineers in six weeks. We co-developed an assessment harness with the engineering leadership that compressed the technical loop to hours, not days. Onboarding was packaged so new engineers were productive in week one.
What landed.
70 engineers hired in six weeks. Both release cycles shipped on time. Quality holds eighteen months in — attrition tracking five points below industry baseline. Founder gave us the case study on the record.
We grew from twenty to ninety in two release windows. Without tekfortune we'd have missed both releases. Easy decision.
