The Best Companies Source Talent with Cloud Employee

One of the great things about Cloud Employee was the way they de-risked the international hiring process. We considered developers in the UK, Spain, and further afield, but Cloud Employee was able to provide the HR, legal and compliance reassurance we needed to be able to move forward with our global hiring goals, in addition to finding us the exact candidates we were looking for.

They're not afraid to push back. With some overseas teams, you can find there's a bit of hesitancy if they don't understand the challenge. We've found they really work to understand our business, so they're developing and working on projects with that in mind.

Doran Eskinazi
Head of Engineering

We work with a number of vendors, but as a people-first organization, we're always looking for that cultural match fit. Our values at Tidal are very important to us, and this meant that finding a partner who considers culture fit as part of their vetting and talent matching process was valuable.

We spent four months trying to hire in the US. We engaged Cloud Employee and had two full-time developers in Argentina onboarded in one week.The guys have been working with us for two years and we're now up to a team of six.
