Case Study: Octane rapidly scales senior engineering talent with Right Balance

Octane retains 15 senior engineers in less than 5 months with Right Balance

Octane, a non-bank lender operating in a highly regulated environment, needed to rapidly scale its engineering team with senior-level talent to support its growth after a Series D funding round. The challenge was to find a high volume of quality full-stack engineers who could also meet strict SOC II Type II compliance requirements. To solve this, they engaged Right Balance for its talent sourcing and hiring services.

Right Balance implemented a solution by sourcing from a large pool of talent in Latin America, providing a heavy technical pre-screening process that included live coding and architecture reviews. This allowed Octane to condense its final interviews into a single day, enabling them to extend offers faster than competitors. As a result, Right Balance helped Octane hire 15 senior software engineers in less than five months, hitting their hiring targets six months ahead of schedule.
