Golang was the sticking point early on. We nailed it. Since then, they’ve shifted over to JavaScript and we’ve been in their corner throughout helping them build, scale, and level up across their product and delivery teams.

The Challenge

As Instinct Digital scaled rapidly, we needed to grow our engineering and implementation teams to meet rising demand. Finding high-quality talent at speed was critical — but we didn’t have the time or capacity to sift through countless candidates while maintaining delivery momentum.

The Result

The impact has been clear: we’ve scaled without compromising quality, stayed on track with project timelines, and preserved both team performance and morale. TechShack has felt like a true extension of our business — not just a recruiter, but a trusted hiring partner.

The Solution

Since late 2023, I’ve worked closely with TechShack to bring in the right people at the right time. They quickly grasped both the calibre of talent we needed and our team culture, consistently delivering strong, relevant shortlists. We made eight hires through TechShack — including full-stack engineers, a Golang specialist, and a Technical Implementation Manager. Permanent roles were filled in under 20 working days, with contractors onboarded in less than a week.

Working with TechShack was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. They really took the time to understand what I was looking for and made the whole process feel smooth, personal, and well-supported. Communication was always clear and timely, and I genuinely felt like they had my best interests at heart. It was hands-down one of the most satisfying recruitment experiences I’ve had!

Technical Implementation Manager, Instinct Digital

I’m sincerely grateful to the team at TechShack for helping me land my current role. The whole process was made very simple and clear, I was kept up to date with everything that was happening throughout the interview process, and any questions I had were answered quickly — even those directed to my current employer via TechShack. I am now in a great position within a brilliant company, where I enjoy my job working with an amazing team.
