How a Start Up Navigated Around Tech Talent Shortages and Competitor’s Big Offers

Company

LinkedField is a venture-backed early stage SaaS for the construction sector. The platform streamlines change order management, provides on-demand document control services, and automates safety orientation & maintaining project contact lists. 

Finding software engineers that fit LinkedField’s requirements and budget felt impossible.
Goal

Hire superior software engineers despite competing with giant corporations during a tech talent shortage. 

Like many start ups, LinkedField struggles to stand out with job seekers in the tech industry. Losing candidates to competing offers and fighting to increase employee retention are daily challenges. Finding software engineers that fit LinkedField’s requirements and budget felt impossible. They needed a hiring solution that didn’t involve unproductive recruiting searches, wading through resume spam, or interviewing unqualified candidates.

Expanding their talent pool outside of the U.S. solved multiple hiring problems

They chose Worce and our in-house recruiters to focus on Taiwan as an ideal solution to finding highly-qualified affordable engineers crucial to developing the competitive product in time for LinkedField’s next funding round.
