Context
Default needed two senior, full-stack engineers to lead a full product rebuild. They required high-ownership, startup-minded talent who could operate in ambiguity and set the trajectory for a new product phase.
Process
The challenge was top-of-funnel quality: finding engineers with true GTM/B2B SaaS experience and the founding-DNA mindset. We prioritized cultural fit first, then technical depth, targeting candidates from early-stage startups who thrive without structure.
Outcome
We placed both hires in three months. One was Default’s dream candidate—an early engineer from a unicorn-scale competitor with multiple offers, who we successfully closed. The other, initially overlooked, became a standout cultural addition after our push and his exceptional interviews.
