Project Summary

SoftwareMill provided staff augmentation to a healthcare analytics company, sourcing engineers that matched job descriptions for Scala, Python, and JavaScript roles and onboarding them into the client's teams. The vendor's engineers participated in daily agile processes and contributed directly to product development, with several hires producing high-quality work and strong collaboration.

Key Challenges

Hire skilled engineers across a diverse stack (Scala, Python, JavaScript) and for specialized infrastructure projects
Fill hard-to-hire roles in a competitive market and find candidates who require minimal upskilling

Project Deliverables

Staff augmentation placements (engineers matching job descriptions)
Onboarded engineers to client's teams (typically ~1 week onboarding)
Engineers contributing to product development and participating in agile ceremonies

Project Solution

SoftwareMill recruited and provided engineers matched to the client's job descriptions and technical needs, coordinated interviews with both sides, and onboarded selected candidates (typically about a week). Vendor engineers participated in the client's agile workflow (daily standups, sprint planning, design sessions), used Slack for communication, and contributed to product and infrastructure work across Scala, Python, and JavaScript stacks. Project management remained primarily on the client's side while the vendor supplied technical resources and flexibility for time-zone overlap.

Project Outcome

Vendor frequently provided suitable candidates on the first try
Built an internal product in six months with a single engineer
Replaced a product costing $100,000–$200,000 in a short timeframe
Improved retention and lowered turnover through process feedback
