We started working with loveholidays when they were scaling their platform engineering team. It’s a high-performing group working on the backbone of the site, making sure things run fast, smoothly, and can handle serious traffic. They needed people who could operate at that level. That’s where we came in.

The Challenge

Machine cog icon made of luminescent glass

Hiring for Platform Engineers had proven to be a challenge – the overlap of candidates hitting the mark for our engineering standards and their subsequent availability was very narrow. We spent a few months on hiring for these, with little success – those that were successful were snapped up by FAANG very quickly.

The Result

We made five hires in very little time through TechShack. Candidates were managed well, and communication was clear and reliable throughout. Upon joining, they only had positive things to say about their experience, and are still with us now.

The Solution

Lewis and TechShack demonstrated a tight grip on the market, and presented us with candidates that were not only aligned with our expectations, but also not readily looking or easy to find – a sweet spot for our needs.

I was approached by TechShack about a role that turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. Their insight into the company, thoughtful communication, and transparency throughout the process made everything feel easy and straightforward. I’m now in a role that feels like a great match, and I’m really grateful for their help.

Principal Software Engineer, loveholidays

Thanks to TechShack I just landed my new job at loveholidays.com as Cloud Infra Staff Engineer! They were very attentive and followed through on every step of the interview process — it was a tremendous help so I could focus 100% on the interview tests rather than worry about the back and forth. Can't recommend them enough!
