What is
Adaptive Hiring?

Adaptive Hiring brings agile principles to technical hiring. This new approach makes it possible to secure quality talent with the right skills at the right time — for any business objective or project. It’s a flexible, scalable, and borderless model for building tech teams that prioritizes ability over geographical location, offering unprecedented agility for technical leaders.

Simply put, important work isn't getting done 

Organizations need an innovation partner that offers cost-effective access to a global pool of skilled professionals. The ideal partner must possess the agility to scale teams, drive innovation, and integrate seamlessly into existing workflows.

Skill Gaps

Teams lack highly skilled experts for high-impact product initiatives.

Limited Capacity

Important initiatives move to the back-burner because of resourcing.

High FTE Costs

Costs associated with FTE are high: recruiting, benefits, equity, PTO, etc.

Long Hiring Periods

It can take months to identify, hire, and onboard new team members. 

Slow Deployment

Failure to meet demand for growth, new product, and market expansion.

High Turnover

Attrition negatively impacts productivity and business delivery.

How Adaptive Hiring works: Bringing agile principles to tech hiring

Identify deprioritized projects due to gaps on your teams

Updating systems, modernizing legacy code, and refreshing outdated employee-facing apps can turn into enterprise backlog — and a loss of productivity. Andela provides talent and teams so your top developers can focus on new business while we take care of backlog behind the scenes.

Determine what skills you need and for how long

When critical and fast-moving technology initiatives require more talent than you have on board, Andela can help identify the skills gaps and timelines. Then, we’ll provide the technologists you need, for however long you need them.

Match needs to talent skill sets, costs, and duration

Every technology project — no matter how fast it’s running or how bogged down it may be — can be scoped. And our experts can help you make sure all your projects are budgeted, staffed, and timed for the most optimal outcomes.

Adjust easily, as your priorities change

Rapidly changing business requires an agile approach to staffing. This variable cost model allows you to change as quickly as your priorities do. Andela talent is available on demand, so you can fill critical skill or capacity gaps and then dial down resource allocations as the workload softens.
