Hiring Challenges faced by Frontpage

Frontpage is building the platform for social investing for 100M Indians, and to build the digital infrastructure at such colossal scales requires the best of engineering talent.

So, Frontpage initiated a hiring spree for developers with remarkable skills and it didn’t yield any satisfactory results. Interviews took a lot of time and candidate skills could not be interpreted in relevance to requirements.

Besides, creating a skill-accurate talent pipeline seemed impossible with traditional recruitment methods.

Previously, Frontpage’s hiring strategy was modeled after the conventional recruiting mechanisms which don’t necessarily provide favorable results. Also, traditional interviews cost more in both time and money, the two most precious assets any company has.

Despite investing all that capital and hours, this process would not guarantee the high-quality performance of the developers, and all the efforts seemed obsolete.

Multiple platforms could repair the talent pipeline building system, but applying different solutions and strategies was a messy business. They hadn’t encountered a one-stop solution yet.
