How Biofourmis scaled up its engineering centre with 30+ closures by using Cutshort

An overview of Biofourmis' hiring context in India

Biofourmis wanted to scale their engineering team in India fast but what made them different was the higher cultural fitment bar they set for themselves. One of the things this meant was they really wanted their team members to be innovative, learning driven and self motivated.

This was one of the reasons why Biofourmis team wanted to spot talent on their own as opposed to outsourcing a major part of their recruitment to the agencies. They were looking for a solution that could help them do this, in a scalable and efficient way.
