Direct answer

What kinds of technical searches has Crosscheck completed?

Crosscheck has filled long-open staff engineering roles for an AI startup and supplied niche SAP SuccessFactors specialists for a multi-project program. The two engagements included direct hires, contractor coverage, and a transition toward permanent internal ownership.

Case study 1

Two staff-level hires for a San Francisco AI startup

San Francisco AI startup

Client name withheld

  • 2 staff-level hires
  • Roles previously open 6+ months
  • About 1 and 2 months to fill

Crosscheck filled a Staff Software Engineer role in about one month and a Staff Platform Engineer role in about two months. Both positions had been open for more than six months before Crosscheck began the searches.

Hiring problem

The startup needed two staff-level engineers and had kept both positions open for more than six months. The platform search required a narrow combination of experience and working constraints, which reduced the relevant candidate pool.

Crosscheck's work

Bennett reset each brief around the work the engineer would own, the evidence candidates needed to show, and the constraints that could not move. Crosscheck sourced and screened each candidate against those criteria before an introduction.

Result

Crosscheck filled the Staff Software Engineer role in about one month. The more constrained Staff Platform Engineer search took about two months. The company added both senior resources after the earlier searches had remained open for more than six months.

Case study 2

SAP SuccessFactors project staffing for a West Coast building-products company

West Coast building-products company

Client name withheld

  • 4 contractors at peak
  • Niche SuccessFactors coverage
  • Contract and direct-hire support

Crosscheck supplied niche SAP SuccessFactors specialists, supported a project team with four contractors at its peak, and helped the company add permanent employees so it could reduce contractor dependence.

Hiring problem

The company needed hard-to-find SuccessFactors skills across active projects. Its leaders also wanted to move more system knowledge and long-term ownership into permanent roles.

Crosscheck's work

Bennett sourced specialists for the modules and project needs in scope. Crosscheck maintained contractor coverage as the work changed and recruited permanent employees for roles the company wanted to own internally.

Result

Four Crosscheck contractors were active at the peak of the engagement. Their work supported the SuccessFactors program while Crosscheck helped the company hire permanent employees and reduce its reliance on outside contractors.
