Company Overview

The Challenge
The team wanted to accelerate building out their engineering team. As Zamp grew, they needed highly skilled, meticulous developers to keep up with customer demand, but traditional recruiting methods were time consuming without delivering the right talent. As a result, their time to hire stretched out, delaying product work and distracting the team.
“The demand for hiring talent was there, but the speed and the ability to ensure we were hiring the right people was where we ran into challenges.”
Kyle GashlerEngineering Manager
Why Strider?
Zamp connected with Strider through an industry referral, after which Strider’s team worked closely with Zamp to fully understand their hiring needs, from specific technical expertise to cultural alignment. Strider then sourced, vetted, and presented candidates that were a strong match, ensuring Zamp’s team could focus on making the right hire fast vs. sifting through unqualified applicants.
“We knew we needed a way to help vet candidates effectively and quickly. Strider’s expertise was a huge value add. Their focus on delivering the right technical candidates allowed us to move quickly without sacrificing quality.”
Impact
Zamp chose Strider for its ability to deliver top quality hires quickly. They also wanted to focus on long-term culture fit.
