Background
Healthcare platforms need strong product, engineering, and design talent to create experiences that are easy to use, reliable, and aligned with patient expectations.
As LeanRX continued growing its telehealth offering, it needed to strengthen both its technical and design capabilities. The company was looking to improve the digital experience for users while also supporting stable product development behind the scenes. Because healthcare products rely heavily on trust, clarity, and usability, LeanRX needed a structured hiring process that could identify the right candidates quickly without compromising on quality.
Challenges
Hiring in digital healthcare requires more than filling technical positions. Companies need candidates who can contribute to both platform reliability and user experience in a product environment where usability directly affects engagement and retention.
LeanRX needed to hire for two important roles. The PHP Developer role required backend development capability, product understanding, and the ability to support a growing telehealth platform. The UI/UX Designer role required strong design thinking, interface quality, and the ability to create a smoother digital journey for users navigating healthcare services online.
Because these roles served different functions but both directly influenced product quality, the company needed a recruitment process that could assess each profile clearly, consistently, and efficiently.
Need to hire across both engineering and design functions
Requirement for strong candidate fit in a user-sensitive healthcare product environment
Importance of balancing backend reliability with user experience quality
Competitive hiring market for technical and product design talent
Need for a structured hiring process with clear evaluation criteria
Solution
OnHires implemented a recruitment strategy tailored to LeanRX’s healthcare product environment and hiring needs.
We began with role calibration sessions to define the responsibilities, expectations, and success criteria for each position. For the PHP Developer role, the focus was on backend development skills, product contribution, and the ability to support platform performance in a telehealth setting. For the UI/UX Designer role, evaluation centered on user-centered design, clarity of thinking, interface quality, and the ability to simplify complex digital healthcare interactions.
We then launched targeted sourcing pipelines across backend engineering, PHP development, product design, and UI/UX talent pools. Structured interview workflows and calibrated scorecards helped standardize candidate evaluation, while weekly hiring operations improved stakeholder alignment, accelerated feedback, and reduced process delays.
OnHires managed the recruitment process end to end, from sourcing and screening to offer coordination and onboarding support.
