Case Study: Fastly scales hiring while preserving candidate experience with Greenhouse Software

Fastly drives hiring while upholding their candidate experience

Fastly, a developer-focused edge cloud platform powering customers like Stripe and Reddit, faced aggressive growth targets that required scaling its talent team quickly while preserving a strong, equitable candidate experience. The company needed recruiters and systems that could streamline hiring, standardize interviewing, and serve as strategic partners to hiring managers as headcount ramped.

Fastly implemented Greenhouse as a single source of truth—using job templates, structured interview kits and scorecards, and built-in reporting to prompt timely, consistent feedback and reduce bias. The result: repeatable, transparent hiring processes, easier reporting and dashboards, and improved candidate experience (81% satisfaction vs. a 76% industry average), helping Fastly make hundreds of hires while maintaining quality and consistency.
