The story
The challenge
Roles between engineering and consulting. People like this rarely show up on job boards.
The partnership
We looked for engineers and consultants who handle both the technology and the customer, in Czech and in English.
Challenge and approach
The challenge
- A new roleForward Deployed Engineer is a new position in Czechia – candidates are found by skills, not by job title.
- Tech and the customerAn engineer who wants to own the customer relationship, or a consultant with a solid technical base.
- Scale-up paceA fast-growing company and the first people in the office, building the structure themselves.
Our approach
- FDE and DS pairsWe hired in pairs: the technical core (FDE) and the owner of the customer relationship (DS). Strong FDE candidates without deep engineering got a shot at DS.
- Direct outreachEngineers and consultants from product companies, AI start-ups and consulting – through our network, not job ads.
- Two recruitersTwo of our recruiters ran the brief, from screening to offer.
