Case Study: Smartsheet achieves rapid senior engineering hires with Fuel Talent

Smartsheet places 11 senior engineers in 3 months with Fuel Talent

Smartsheet faced a challenge after going public, needing to modernize its technology stack by transitioning its core application from Ruby to Java. The company required 10–15 senior engineers with deep expertise in both languages within a tight timeline. To meet this need, they engaged the recruiting services of Fuel Talent.

Fuel Talent augmented Smartsheet's recruiting team with targeted sourcing to find engineers experienced in microservices and large-scale SaaS systems. As a result, Fuel Talent placed 11 senior engineers within just three months, achieving an 8:1 submittal-to-hire ratio and a 90% offer close rate, with 100% retention after nine months.
