A fast-growing fintech company headquartered in Cyprus
- ChallengeThe company’s founder aimed to scale the engineering team with over 100 new hires rapidly. All candidates had to relocate to Cyprus—remote work was not an option—and the client required experience in high-load, fault-tolerant systems. Some positions also mandated a background in trading systems. The internal TA team was under-resourced, so the company engaged five external agencies, including us.
- Actions
- Assembled a dedicated team of experienced recruiters to work exclusively with this client.
- Focused on direct outreach and passive candidate engagement across relevant companies.
- Prioritized Eastern Europe and the CIS region, where relocation to Cyprus and salary expectations aligned with client needs.
- Proactively sourced candidates already residing in Cyprus to expedite hiring.
- Launched a referral bonus program to build an additional inbound pipeline.
- Leveraged platforms like GitHub, GitLab, and Stack Overflow to identify strong engineering talent.
