The story.
As a Direct Hire engagement, this case study highlights how we placed a Frontend Engineer (ReactJS) for a leading fintech innovator in India. The client onboarded a skilled professional on a 6-month contract to strengthen their engineering delivery and digital payment solutions.
What they needed.
The client is a fast-scaling fintech leader, known for revolutionizing digital payments and financial solutions in India. With a strong engineering-first culture and a user-centric approach, they needed a Frontend Engineer (ReactJS) on an immediate contract basis to contribute to high-performance web applications.
From 7,360 applicants to one perfect hire.
A multi-stage funnel designed to compress thousands of applicants into one ideal candidate — with every step documented and every drop-off explained.
What stood in the way and how we got past it.
The client required immediate availability for a hybrid role in Bangalore, which significantly narrowed the pool. Many strong candidates either had longer notice periods or were restricted to remote-only opportunities — and the compensation band was firm.
- Prioritized sourcing candidates with short notice availability and Bangalore base
- Leveraged local talent networks in Bangalore for faster turnaround
- Aligned compensation expectations early in the process to reduce last-minute drop-offs
