August 2024 Engineering Update

Finding the right talent at the right price point is a persistent challenge for companies of all sizes, especially when considering global hiring options. In August 2024, we introduced a significant update to our Mission Builder that directly addresses this challenge, offering precise, data-driven insights into global tech hiring.

Unveiling Location-Based Hiring Insights

The core of our new Mission Builder is the Location-Based Hiring Insights feature. Here’s what it offers:

1. Global Talent Availability: Users input their required skills, experience level, and budget to visualize eligible talent locations worldwide instantly. This feature eliminates guesswork from global hiring and directs focus to viable talent pools.
2. Granular Rate Data: Access high and low data on market rates by location and seniority level. Setting expectations from the start allows companies to refine their hiring budget and strategy.
3. Evidence-Based Decisions: Our insights draw from tens of thousands of data points collected from successful hires. This first-party data provides accurate, current information to guide hiring decisions.

The Impact on Hiring Strategy

This level of detailed, location-specific data empowers hiring managers to:

• Fine-tune their hiring budget by understanding rate variations across locations
• Communicate necessary budget changes earlier in the hiring process
• Explore untapped talent markets that align with their specific requirements
• Make informed decisions about remote work and global team distribution
• Set achievable expectations for both budget and talent availability from the outset

Additional Mission Builder Enhancements

While Location-Based Hiring Insights take center stage, we’ve also refined other aspects of the Mission Builder:

• Expanded Talent Discovery: Gain access to in-depth candidate insights.
• Holistic Applicant View: Our new Applicants Table displays all qualified candidates with detailed rankings.
• Verified Talent Badges: Quickly distinguish vetted professionals while maintaining access to emerging talent.
• Efficient Job Description Creation: An intuitive interface for developing comprehensive, appealing mission briefs.
