Case Study: Wag hires top engineering talent without an internal HR team with Hired

Hired enables Wag executives to hire top talent—without internal HR/Recruiting resources

Wag is an on-demand dog-walking app that connects pet owners with vetted walkers and real-time GPS tracking. As the company expanded quickly from Los Angeles to several major U.S. cities, its small corporate team struggled to recruit the engineering talent needed to support growth because it had no dedicated HR or recruiting resources.

Wag used Hired to build a pipeline of pre-screened engineering candidates, allowing COO Mike DeVerna to review curated batches in about 30 minutes per week. The partnership produced three hires (with a fourth closing), saved the team significant time and recruiting expense, and minimized risk because Hired is paid only when a placement is made.
