The customer
Willo is a video interviewing platform built to humanise the hiring process. Designed for hiring teams tired of screening endless CVs and sitting through misaligned interviews, Willo enables candidates to record responses to pre-set questions - helping employers quickly assess presentation, attitude, and communication before hopping on a live call. With AI-powered summaries, digital ID checks, and pre-screening tools, Willo is trusted by thousands of companies globally to reduce time-to-hire and improve the candidate experience.
Cloud Employee has partnered with Willo for over four years, supporting their growth with a dedicated team of ten developers based in the Philippines - an offshore team that feels and functions like an extension of their in-house crew.
The problem
The solution
We actually hired the whole team remotely, having never met them. And we made a bunch of really good hires. And that's pretty unique to be able to do that without having never met any of them.
