“Orange Quarter genuinely understood the personality of hire we needed, through real conversations and sharp judgment calls. They took the time to grasp our distinct requirements as an early-stage, AI-first company, and turned that context into action fast. With OQ’s support, we brought on a stellar engineering team in no time.”
– Florentine Eitelbach, Co-Founder & CEO

Context
Inca had just raised a significant pre-seed round and needed to scale quickly with top engineering talent. But with limited time and no internal sourcing resources, they couldn’t rely on inbound to surface high-quality, diverse, high-impact candidates they were looking for.
Process
Partnering with OQ allowed Inca to run a targeted, proactive search focused on engineers who are real builders with strong technical depth, product intuition, and a high-ownership mindset. From the very beginning, we prioritised diversity by widening the search beyond typical networks and engaging candidates who combined exceptional ability with new perspectives.
Outcome
Inca gained access to engineering talent they had not been able to reach on their own. They met senior builder-type engineers who could accelerate product development immediately while strengthening the diversity and long-term resilience of the team.
