Case Study: HeyGen scales its engineering team in 60 days with Odesa.co

HeyGen scales engineering with Odesa.co in 8 weeks

HeyGen, an AI video generation platform, faced a challenge scaling its engineering team to meet surging product demand. Their traditional hiring pipelines were too slow, producing only 1-2 hires per month. To build the team they needed would have taken 4-6 months, a timeline that was unacceptable in a competitive market. They turned to the vendor Odesa.co for a solution.

Odesa.co implemented a concierge model to rapidly place 9 senior engineers across frontend, backend, and ML roles in under 60 days. This solution saved HeyGen's engineering leadership an estimated 60 hours of screening time. The result was an annualized cost savings of over $800,000 and a 12-month retention rate of 88%. The speed of deployment allowed HeyGen to ship features ahead of their original roadmap.
