A growing EdTech start-up was relying on traditional search agencies to fill highly technical roles—resulting in steep recruiting fees and limited control over the hiring process. With a need for engineers experienced in a unique tech stack, the company sought a partner who could reduce cost per hire while maintaining access to top-tier candidates.
Hueman delivered a tailored recruitment solution focused on cost-efficiency, speed, and quality. By embedding ourselves in the company’s hiring process, we streamlined sourcing, screening, and engagement for hard-to-find technical talent. Our recruiters built targeted pipelines and leveraged industry knowledge to source specialized candidates quickly, eliminating the high costs associated with agency fees.
Through close collaboration with hiring managers and consistent candidate engagement, we helped the client establish a more predictable and cost-effective hiring strategy.
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.
