Case Study: Foursquare achieves faster sourcing and increased diversity with Fetcher

Foursquare levels the recruiting playing field with Fetcher

Foursquare, a leading location data and technology company, faced steep competition for tech talent from bigger brands like Google and Spotify. Clifton Jadoo, Director of Engineering & Product Recruitment, found LinkedIn alone wasn’t delivering enough senior and hard-to-fill candidates and wanted to boost brand awareness and diversity without adding hours to his team’s workload. He turned to Fetcher’s automated sourcing platform with humans-in-the-loop to expand top-of-funnel reach.

Fetcher auto-sources candidates, applies human validation, and delivers curated batches Jadoo can quickly thumbs-up or thumbs-down, plus supports multiple diversity variables and an intuitive workflow. Using Fetcher, Foursquare has multiplied its sourcing efforts, increased diversity at the top of the funnel, and put more people into its talent pipeline, enabling faster outreach and greater brand equity — helping the team create the repeated touchpoints (often six to eight) needed to convert candidates.
