Rentgrata, a messaging platform for apartment renters and management companies, had a technical lead who needed immediate help… Ben was taken back by how much agency recruiters would cost, and was wary of the value of job boards.

Ben had two options:
1. Spend his valuable time as a founder trying to recruit a technical leader, something he had never done before.
2. Pay a premium to a staffing agency (somewhere between 15-30% of a first year salary)

Ben decided to leverage humanpredictions (as well as our support team of tech recruiters) to help his company make key early tech hires.

We created custom searches within the platform to surface candidates who were not only technically qualified, but also personally interested in Rentgrata’s mission. The humanpredictions team then provided effective email copy based on what they’d seen work well with other founders, and helped Ben match it to his voice and the Rentgrata brand.

The result was Ben accomplishing a senior level technical hire through humanpredictions within 6-weeks, while completely avoiding tens of thousands of dollars in agency fees. Ben has since returned to work with humanpredictions on subsequent hires. The early tech hires gave Ben the freedom to focus on being a founder.
