A Series B fintech company needed a senior data scientist. Other agencies sent volume. Cohort sent the right person.
The pain point
The AI model at the center of the platform was stuck, not because the vision wasn't there, but because the one person who could build it hadn't been found yet. Every week the role stayed open, the roadmap slipped a little further, and the CTO's calendar filled up with something no CTO wants more of: screening calls for candidates who were never going to be the one.
Other agencies kept sending volume, stacks of resumes that read fine on paper and fell apart in the first real conversation. It wasn't a sourcing problem. It was a signal problem, and nobody had solved it yet.
How Cohort helped
Cohort didn't send more resumes. It sent fewer, and better ones. Every candidate who reached the CTO's inbox had already cleared a real technical bar, so for the first time in the search, every conversation was worth having. The stack of maybes disappeared. What was left was a short list of people who could actually do the job, and one of them could start.
If that's the search you're stuck in right now, keep reading.
- <1 week
- From search kickoff to the right candidate identified
- Signal > volume
- A focused shortlist instead of an unfiltered pile of resumes
“We needed a senior data scientist to build the AI model behind our fintech platform. Other agencies buried us in resumes. Cohort found the right candidate in under a week. Highly recommend.”
