Case Study: ThoughtWorks builds a pipeline of passive tech talent in Brazil with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

ThoughtWorks - Customer Case Study

ThoughtWorks Brazil, led by Recruiting Lead Camila Tartari, faces a common tech-industry challenge: the best developers and engineers are often passive candidates who aren’t actively job-hunting. The company needs people who not only have strong technical skills but also fit ThoughtWorks’ socially conscious, flat culture, and recruiters must overcome candidate skepticism and scarcity in a booming market.

Camila’s approach is to combine technical knowledge with relationship-driven sourcing: align closely with hiring teams, leverage colleagues’ networks, personalize InMails, host community events, stay transparent and follow up, and even pursue promising people “reqless.” The result is stronger passive pipelines, higher response and referral rates, and improved success engaging senior technologists who value cultural fit as well as technical depth.
