Challenge
A top AI research lab urgently needed to hire a significant volume of highly skilled competitive programmers within a very short timeframe to meet aggressive research and development goals. They required an efficient solution to rapidly source, vet, and onboard candidates capable of contributing immediately to their high-impact projects.
How micro1 helped
Using Zara, our AI recruiter, micro1 implemented a streamlined three-stage process to rapidly screen, select, and onboard elite-level competitive programmers:
- Sourcing and Screening: Over three weeks, micro1 assessed 1,104 coders through an intensive AI-driven vetting process, rigorously testing candidates' skills in critical areas such as algorithm problem-solving, data structures, debugging, and system design.
- Pilot Launch: Initially onboarded 20 highly qualified programmers, each with International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI)-level proficiency, immediately demonstrating their capabilities and fit.
- Rapid Scaling: Following a successful initial week, the client confidently scaled up the engagement, tripling the number of expert programmers to 60, seamlessly integrating additional hires over the subsequent two weeks.
The results
- Successfully onboarded a total of 60 elite competitive programmers in only three weeks, significantly accelerating the client's R&D timelines.
- Achieved 100% retention rate through both Phase 1 and Phase 2 vetting cutoffs, underscoring the effectiveness of micro1’s vetting process.
- Delivered vetted programmers with specialized expertise in algorithm intuition, advanced data structures, system design fundamentals, and debugging, fulfilling precise project requirements.
- Enabled the client's team to focus entirely on core research, as micro1 handled end-to-end operations—from sourcing to onboarding and quality assurance—ensuring high-quality data output with minimal operational effort required from their internal team.
