• Proven experience in hands-on platform management and managing teams of managers. 
• Ability to serve as the nucleus of a DevOps/Platform Engineering culture. 

After six months of exhaustive interviews, Modulr faced challenges in finding a candidate who not only held the right technical proficiency and leadership skills but also aligned with their company culture. Additionally, they wanted to seek talent from outside their industry, requiring a search beyond the usual competitor landscape.

Due to our track record in this space and our varied network of technology leaders, we were brought in to conduct the search process. 

• Extensive market mapping and refined shortlist

Following conversations with the hiring manager and the Head of Talent, we identified the core requirements for the ideal candidate as well as foresee the challenges in the search process. We then approached the market, mapping out key competitors and other organisations that had successfully built a strong platform culture. Using our candidate assessment framework, we sourced the ideal candidates who matched the brief which included a 50/50 split of candidates based in London and Edinburgh. We then presented the candidate shortlist who were not only technically gifted, but also functionally aligned. 

Within six weeks, the search had concluded with an offer being made and accepted by a candidate from the initial shortlist. 

• 1 candidate hired from the initial shortlist
• 6 weeks from CV to hire 
• Extensive market map spanning multiple industries
• The placed candidate was promoted to platform security within six months of starting
• Positive client and candidate experience
