A growing EdTech start-up relied on traditional search agencies to fill highly technical roles, resulting in steep recruiting fees and limited control over the hiring process.
The company needed engineers experienced in a specialized technology stack—and a recruiting partner that could reduce costs without sacrificing candidate quality.
Specialized talent was essential, but traditional agency fees were becoming unsustainable.
Hueman worked closely with hiring managers to understand the company’s specialized roles, technical requirements, and hiring goals.
Our recruiters combined industry knowledge with focused sourcing strategies to reach qualified candidates with the required technology experience.
Consistent candidate communication and an efficient screening process helped the company hire quickly without relying on expensive agency searches.
Over the course of the engagement, Hueman reduced the company’s average cost per hire by approximately $8,000 while maintaining speed and quality.
Technical roles were filled in under 60 days on average, with over 800 qualified candidates sourced for roles requiring a specialized tech stack. Most notably, the company achieved a 100% first-year retention rate, reinforcing the long-term fit and quality of each hire.
Lower costs did not mean compromising on speed, candidate quality, or long-term fit.
