Project Summary

An online media company engaged WillDom for staff augmentation to support a company merger, sourcing software engineers across Latin America. WillDom presented and vetted candidates (Ruby on Rails, React, QA automation), ran technical challenges and interviews, and provided ongoing placements. The client reported strong candidates who integrated well, responsive project management (Jira, Slack), and good team fit.

Key Challenges

  • Staffing up to support a merger following a significant funding event
  • Need for software engineers experienced in Ruby on Rails
  • Need for senior frontend developers skilled in React and QA test-automation specialists
  • Lack of strong engineering management internally

Project Deliverables

  • Candidate technical screening and challenge assessments
  • Placement of software engineers (Ruby on Rails), senior React frontend developers, and QA automation specialists

WillDom continued to coordinate with the client using Jira and Slack and provided ongoing staff-augmentation support.

Project Outcome

  • Provided strong candidates who integrated well and added value to internal teams
