AI SaaS Case Study
01
The Challenge
An AI Real Estate platform had a distributed core team that stretched New York to Turkey. One of their Turkish Senior engineers that was due to relocate to the US decided to leave the team and by doing so, left during a crucial moment of the MVP build.​
The CEO was a past client of Peritus Partners, he reached out and explained that he needed someone who understood 0-1 environments, ideally being a founder themselves and had worked on AI related projects. We could hire from anywhere but they needed to relocate to US.
02
The Solution
We understood that time was a big pressure for this hire as it could derail their ideal launch date. After the initial screening with the CEO we spoke with the CTO to identify core needs and the nice to haves. We broke down the technology, ideal locations to source from, ideal companies, soft skills and career paths.​
The aim was to do the heavy lifting at the beginning to screen out everyone quickly for them, this allowed the CEO and CTO to spend time with only those that matched what they truly wanted.
