Case Study: RapidAPI hires its first Enterprise Account Executive in under 30 days with Candidate Labs

RapidAPI hires their first EAE in under 30 days

RapidAPI, the world’s largest marketplace of APIs, needed to make a critical first enterprise account executive hire as it expanded its enterprise SaaS offering and grew its East Coast presence. The startup had struggled with traditional recruiting firms that sent many candidates but few viable fits, creating delays and risk for the business. Candidate Labs was brought in to help find the right hire quickly.

Candidate Labs used its data-driven recruiting approach to surface highly qualified candidates tailored to the role, saving RapidAPI time with detailed candidate writeups and a more targeted search methodology. As a result, RapidAPI filled its first EAE in under 30 days, then used Candidate Labs again to hire a customer success role in about 30 days as well. The company also noted that Candidate Labs helped support its diversity goals by presenting strong diverse talent.
