GitHub's Post-Merger Evolution: Adaptive Hiring Decreases Time-to-hire by 75%

Following its acquisition by Microsoft, GitHub experienced unprecedented global growth. This drove the need to scale engineering so GitHub could meet increased demand in the Client Partnerships & Expert Services Division; however, GitHub was relying on costly, slow agencies for global IT talent.​

With access to Andela's diverse pool of digital talent from untapped regions, GitHub onboarded seven skilled engineers across various time zones to align with their dynamic expansion needs. ​

The Andela adaptive hiring approach slashed GitHub’s hiring timeframe from 19 weeks to just 10 days while reducing their cost-to-hire by over 50%.​
