Hired helps LandTech grow its tech team in global markets

After having a negative experience with other hiring platforms, LandTech‘s talent team was ready for a change. They needed a recruiting tool to help them grow their global headcount—and fast.

LandTech Talent Manager Rachel Johnson is no stranger to hiring platforms. “My team used two other hiring platforms in the past and saw no success from either of them,” she said. However, they urgently needed to find top tech talent to support their rapidly scaling startup—so Rachel turned to Hired.

Right from the start, Rachel was pleasantly surprised by what Hired had to offer. “We’ve found much higher quality candidates on Hired, and Hired candidates consistently perform well in our interviews and coding challenges,” she said.

Rachel also appreciates how responsive Hired candidates are. “On other platforms, you’re reaching out to a majority of passive candidates and the response rate can be as low as 10%. The active candidates on Hired are amazing—it’s such a contrast and a big reason why we decided to use the platform.”

As LandTech expands its employee base and global reach, the talent team regularly uses Hired to guide recruiting success. “Hired has helped us grow,” said Rachel. “Our main focus is engineering, and we’ve been able to hire every level of employee—all the way up to experienced senior talent and team leads, which are incredibly tough roles to fill.”

Hired has also supported LandTech’s remote-first hiring approach by helping them f ind top talent across Europe in England, Scotland, and Portugal. “We actually found two of our lead engineers on Hired so far, one of whom is in Portugal,” said Rachel. “That was amazing.”

Today, Hired is a staple in Rachel’s recruiting toolkit. “I check Hired every morning because I like keeping on top of candidates each day,” she said. “It’s quick and fits very well into my schedule.”

Rachel especially appreciates Hired’s Slack integration, which makes it easy for her to get candidate updates throughout the day. She also enjoys receiving personalized data reports from Hired and her dedicated Customer Success Manager.

“Every week, I get data that shows things like how many people I’ve reached out to or my interview and acceptance success rates,” explained Rachel. “Seeing those visuals is really helpful.”
