Odoo, React, Python
Durable Polymers – QTaaS

We were looking for a Shopify developer for our eCommerce store and a full-stack PHP developer. We were starting to get frustrated with the hiring challenges and then got in touch with Varun through a reference. I can’t believe we could send offer letters within 20 days after our meeting!

The Challenge

The client needed 1 Shopify developer and 1 PHP developer on an urgent basis for full-time engagement. 

Even though there is no shortage of PHP and Shopify developers, the client was finding it hard to source candidates according to their budget and skill expectations. The major challenges the client was facing were:

  1. High time to hire was impacting their project deadlines. 
  2. High talent sourcing costs were a challenge since the client had a limited budget.
  3. The client had unsuccessfully tried hiring via other staffing and recruiting agencies, but they were not happy with the skills being offered for their budget by the tech recruiters.
  4. A few candidates that the client selected were available after 2+ months which was not acceptable to the client.

The challenge for TaAp Exchange was to source high-quality candidates and successfully onboard 2 candidates within a month.

The Solution – Qualified Talent as a Service

TaAp Exchange proposed Qualified Talent as a Service (QTaaS) so that the client could get qualified resources to choose from. This service offers clients a curated pool of 10 resources for each position. All of these candidates curated would be qualified based on the client’s requirements by the TaAp Exchange recruitment team, something not available to the traditional technology recruiters or remote staffing agencies.

The qualification criteria to prepare a curated talent pipeline for the client was as below.

  • High-quality of skills
  • Experience level 3+ years
  • Candidates available for full-time engagement
  • Candidates available to join in less than a month’s time

The goal was to build a pipeline of 20 developers, 10 each for Shopify and PHP within 10 days.

The process for building the qualified pipeline

We used the following process to build the pipeline of the 20 candidates. 

Sourcing

  • A dedicated team of 2 technology recruiters from TaAp Exchange worked full-time over 3 days to source candidates through Job boards, LinkedIn, Slack, Reddit, Facebook, and relevant community forums on various platforms.
  • Jobs were posted on various Job Boards like Naukri, Monster, and Indeed, and extensive reach out occurred through the databases provided by these platforms as well. 
  • Social media campaigns, exclusive talent networks, and automated email campaigns were also used to spread the word and contact eligible candidates informing them about the open positions.

Screening

With state-of-the-art recruiting systems and a team of two technical recruiters, TaAp Exchange identified the best-matched candidates who had the necessary skill set, were immediately available and were within the client’s budget.

Assessment

Custom MCQ-based assessments were created by experts from a MAANG company based on the skills required by the client. These assessments were shared with the best-matched candidates.

For candidates who were shortlisted after the MCQ-based technical assessments, a 10-minute video call was scheduled. Through the video call, they were assessed for communication skills, confidence levels, and must-have skills to meet the client’s expectations.

A batch of 20 shortlisted candidates (10 for PHP and 10 for Shopify) was shared with the client for further evaluation.
