Augmenting a fintech’s engineering team against its own tech stack, not a generic developer profile

A UK fintech needed to extend its engineering team quickly, without compromising on candidates matched to its specific tech stack and roadmap.

• Specificity: the fintech needed developers matched to its actual tech stack, not a generic “developer” profile.
• Speed: engineering capacity needed to scale up faster than an in-house hiring process allowed.
• Control: the fintech wanted to keep the augmented developers under its own management, not hand off the work entirely.

Alliance sourced contract developers against the fintech’s specific tech stack and roadmap, under the fintech’s own management rather than run as a separate function.

Our 70% interview-to-offer rate meant the fintech interviewed a tightly matched shortlist rather than screening generic candidates itself. Capacity scaled up without the fintech running a lengthy in-house hiring process for contract roles.

• The fintech extended its engineering team with developers matched to its own tech stack.
• Engineering capacity scaled up without a lengthy in-house hiring process.
• The fintech kept the augmented developers under its own day-to-day management.
