/in /by

Summary

Our client is a Twin Cities-based educational assessment software firm. For three-plus decades, the goal has been to support local and national businesses/educational institutions regarding their educational assessment needs. They take pride in maintaining long-lasting relationships by offering quality service and industry-leading products.

Objective

Our client has seen a significant increase in business over the last 18 months, resulting in a higher demand for professional software staff. With additional support being the primary concern, demand in the Twin Cities for the skills desired continues to increase. The goal was to find an individual with senior-level software engineering experience working with Javascript, Angular, and Node.js. Our client proceeded with Search Leaders, LLC on a contingent basis to identify a fitting candidate.

Process

Search Leaders, LLC initially lined up between 7 to 10 candidates within the software engineering platform who had senior experience with Javascript, Angular, and Node.js. In addition to the technical expertise, our client required a candidate with a natural culture fit, given the team atmosphere they have created. With the help of the Search Leaders, LLC team and their connections, the pool was narrowed to a “short-list” of candidates.

Results

With roughly 10 applications for the position, two of our candidates interviewed over the phone with the Software Engineering Director. Our candidates were instantly the front runner(s) for the position and were pursued for a final round interview with the entire team before extending an offer to one of them. One of our “passive” candidates accepted the offer and was excited about the new opportunity ahead. our client was grateful because previous recruiters were not able to find them the caliber of candidates they needed, and they were able to land the candidate that best fit the role. This process instantly warranted an additional opportunity with our client for a similar software engineering role.
