The Campaign
The new team and requisite management layer constituted 18 hires in total. 6 software engineers and one manager were required to update core company technology. 6 Research engineers and one manager were required to bring to life and develop new innovations and usages of the core product, with a QA team of 4 then subsequently required to appraise and push back on unworkable adaptations.
The subject matter of the positions being filled meant that the best profiles for these roles were also courted by multi-national tech giants. The eventual team build of course contained those individuals with the necessary skills, the stand-out characteristic however, was the drive behind the skills to work for a company with an actionable plan to save, elongate and improve the quality of lives across the planet. Each position we were mandated to fill was filled within the agreed time-frame.
