Helios · Engineering · 12 senior hires in one quarter, across 3 time zones

Portrait of David Okafor, CTO at Helios

The Challenge

Twelve Senior Engineers, One Quarter, Zero Shortcuts

Helios needed to staff two new product squads before a platform launch — twelve senior engineers across San Francisco, Berlin and Singapore. Their internal team had filled two roles in four months. The launch date wasn't moving.

Passive candidates were the only viable pool, and Helios had no sourcing engine to reach them.

Our Approach

01

Global Talent Maps

We mapped senior talent across three hubs, including competitor and adjacency analysis.

02

Calibrated Bar

A joint calibration sprint aligned our screens with the CTO's bar before outreach began.

03

Always-On Pipeline

Weekly shortlists kept every interview round full — offers went out within days, not weeks.

“We needed twelve senior engineers across three time zones in a single quarter. Talentbridge's sourcing engine surfaced passive candidates we could never have reached, and every interview round arrived calibrated, documented and on schedule.”
— David Okafor, CTO at Helios
