Landing Perkbox's first remote React engineers in three weeks

Headquartered in London, Perkbox operates across the globe, enhancing employee experiences through a range of tools and channels that give teams a huge range of perks and benefits, accessible any time via app or desktop.

Consortia was engaged to help Perkbox identify and secure its first fully remote hires as it built an engineering centre of excellence, without letting location be a barrier to securing the best engineers.

The search for React Native and React.js engineers had been open for three months when Perkbox asked Consortia for support.

Consortia arranged an initial meeting with the Director of Engineering to understand the key requirements and to consult on remote onboarding and interview processes.

Consortia helped shape the hiring process and salary level, and put a service level agreement in place for an effective recruitment process.

For the React Native Developer role, Consortia submitted three candidates over ten days; two reached the first and final stage, resulting in one offer and acceptance.

For the React.js Developer role, Consortia submitted seven candidates over five days; five reached first-stage interview and four the final stage, resulting in one offer and acceptance. The total recruitment process took three working weeks.

Every single candidate sourced for us has been an exact match, and that's saved us time because we've not had to filter much. The service was professional, knowledgeable in technical recruiting, and someone you can trust.
