14In their words
Success stories
From fresh graduates to enterprise hiring teams — here's what the experience feels like.
“Our first cohort of eight joined sprint-ready. By week three they were shipping tickets — our senior engineers couldn't believe they were 'trainees' three months earlier.”
“The weekly telemetry removed every guesswork conversation. We could see exactly who was ramping and hire with total confidence.”
“I joined as a trainee with a stipend and no degree from a top college. Eight months later I'm a full-time engineer mentoring the next cohort.”
Fintech scale-up builds a 40-engineer pipeline in two quarters
The challenge
A fast-growing payments company was losing 8 weeks per senior hire, with agency spend spiralling and no consistent junior intake.
Our solution
We ran three Train to Hire cohorts on their Java + React stack, co-designed with their leads, with capstones on their payments platform.
