Building a comprehensive technical team requires deep understanding of both technology and agriculture's unique challenges.
Hectare
Series A agritech scale-up Hectare is transforming the agricultural sector through innovative digital solutions. Their products serve farmers and landowners by digitally transforming every aspect of their supply chain to support sustainable growth. Led by a passionate team dedicated to their mission, Hectare sought to strengthen their technical capabilities across multiple disciplines.
The Challenge
Hectare needed to rapidly scale their technical capabilities across multiple disciplines simultaneously. The challenge lay in finding senior specialists who could not only deliver technical excellence but also align with their mission-driven culture and understand the agricultural sector's specific needs.
The Solution
We deployed a specialist team approach, assigning dedicated recruiters to each position - from engineering to product management. Our comprehensive strategy included establishing direct communication channels through Slack, maintaining detailed candidate insights via their ATS, and providing strategic guidance on experience requirements and team structure. Throughout the process, we prioritised both technical excellence and cultural alignment.
The Results
Within just two months, we successfully placed all six senior roles, including Frontend and Backend Engineers, Developer in Test, Scrum Master, Data Specialist, and Product Manager. The partnership extended beyond mere placement, encompassing offer negotiations, reference checks, and onboarding support, establishing a foundation for Hectare's continued growth in agricultural technology innovation.
