Case Study: Paradigm achieves 80% faster hires and rapid access to qualified engineers with Celential.ai

Reducing time-to-hire by 80% for technical roles

Paradigm is a New York–based FinTech company building an over-the-counter cryptocurrency trading experience for institutional traders inside a native chat application. Despite early traction (over $1.8B in trading volume in its first three quarters), Paradigm struggled to hire quality engineers due to no West Coast presence, an executive team consumed with running the business, no in-house recruiter, and the constraints of the pandemic — so they engaged Celential.ai to solve their recruiting gap.

Celential.ai deployed its AI-driven passive candidate recruiting platform to match roles to candidates, generate automated personalized outreach (including CTO-signed messages to ~300 engineers per week), and deliver engaged, qualified candidates within 48 hours. In the first two months Celential.ai presented 31 candidates with an 87% acceptance/suitability rate, drove an ~80% decrease in time-to-hire, and produced a critical engineering hire in about a month, yielding faster, lower-cost hires with minimal executive overhead for Paradigm.
