The problem
Every engineering hire at Healthpointe took weeks.
And before anyone could decide whether to hire, Healthpointe's head of engineering Doron had to screen the candidates personally, on top of running the tech for 11 clinics.
The solution
Now Healthpointe sends a hiring brief, and Cloud Employee handles the interviews and the technical vetting.
By the time a candidate reaches Healthpointe, they've already been through vetting and testing with one of Cloud Employee's senior engineers.
Healthpointe sends a brief
The role, the stack and the requirements.
Cloud Employee interviews and vets
Interviews and technical vetting happen before the client meets anyone.
Healthpointe meets, then hires
Every candidate it sees has already passed.
When I give them the requirements, they go through their own interview process, and they will vet them. So I know that I don't have to do that personally.
The impact
Hiring went from weeks to days.
The team went from two engineers to six. And the first two, hired in 2024, are still there.
