A Contrario Case Study
Wispr, a voice-native dictation AI company, faced a significant challenge after two of their remote engineering hires did not work out due to the employees working multiple jobs simultaneously. This led to quality issues in their iOS product and a lack of dedicated ownership for testing and QA. They needed a reliable way to hire high-quality remote engineers who would meet their strict standards and fully commit to the role, leading them to partner with Contrario.
Contrario provided an embedded recruiter who deeply understood Wispr's specific need for a creative problem-solver rather than a conventional engineer. The recruiter personally rebuilt the search and leveraged their own network to find candidates. As a result, Contrario successfully placed two key remote engineers, including one found within just 15 days. Both hires have remained with the team, providing the continuity and high quality that Wispr required after their previous negative experiences.
