How OnHires helped 99Tech scale its engineering team for software delivery growth

Software development and outsourcing companies need strong engineering teams to meet delivery expectations, support multiple client engagements, and maintain technical quality across projects.

As 99Tech expanded its delivery capacity, it needed to strengthen its engineering team across both backend and frontend functions. The company was hiring for mid-level and senior technical roles, including leadership-oriented profiles, and needed a structured recruitment process that could support speed without compromising on candidate quality or technical fit.

Hiring for software delivery roles in outsourcing environments requires more than general development experience. Companies need candidates who can combine technical depth with adaptability, collaboration, and the ability to work effectively across different products and client contexts.

99Tech needed to hire across several engineering roles at the same time, including backend developers, senior backend talent with leadership potential, and senior frontend engineers who could contribute to both execution and broader technical direction. This meant the hiring process needed to assess different levels of seniority while staying consistent, efficient, and aligned with business priorities.

Because experienced engineers remain in high demand, especially those who can perform well in delivery-focused environments, 99Tech needed a recruitment process that could move efficiently while maintaining a clear and structured evaluation framework.

OnHires implemented a recruitment strategy tailored to 99Tech’s software delivery environment and engineering hiring needs.

We began with role calibration sessions to define the responsibilities, expectations, and success criteria for each position. For backend roles, the focus was on technical depth, scalability thinking, and the ability to contribute effectively in product and delivery settings. For the senior and lead-level roles, evaluation also included collaboration, ownership, and leadership potential. For frontend hiring, the emphasis was on product quality, interface implementation, and the ability to work effectively in modern software development workflows.

We then launched targeted sourcing pipelines across backend, frontend, and senior engineering talent pools. Structured interview workflows and calibrated scorecards helped standardize candidate evaluation, while weekly hiring operations improved stakeholder alignment, accelerated feedback, and reduced delays throughout the process.

OnHires managed the recruitment process end to end, from sourcing and screening to offer coordination and onboarding support.

The structured recruitment process helped 99Tech strengthen its engineering capabilities while maintaining speed and candidate quality.

By aligning recruitment with the real needs of each role, the company was able to hire multiple engineers across different levels of seniority and technical specialization. This reduced hiring friction, improved confidence in candidate selection, and supported stronger delivery capacity across ongoing and future software projects.

The result was a more efficient hiring workflow and a stronger technical foundation for scaling software development services.

This case demonstrates how structured recruitment can help software development companies hire engineering talent more effectively across multiple levels and functions.

By aligning hiring with technical requirements, delivery realities, and business growth priorities, 99Tech was able to strengthen its team with the right engineering expertise and improve hiring efficiency for several critical roles at once.
