Testimonial
“Collaborating with Second Talent has transformed our development and operations.
Their expertise in sourcing top-quality engineer talent enabled us to scale effectively
while upholding our high standards. The pre-vetted candidates they provided were
perfectly aligned with our requirements – this probably saved us 2 months of time and
HR costs if we were to do it ourselves. Their account management and customer
service ensured a seamless onboarding process and continuous support. With Second
Talent, we’ve built a strong, cost-efficient team that fuels our growth.”

Goals Behind Hiring
Second Talent wanted to find top engineering talent and incorporate it into their market expansion
roadmap. Their objective was to hire an engineering lead that would build and manage an offshore team
in South East Asia.
Challenges Faced
1. Maximizing Cost Efficiency and Top Tier Talent: WELL3’s strategy focused on building an offshore
team in Southeast Asia, starting with finding a lead engineer in Hong Kong. This choice enabled them
to take advantage of significantly lower labor costs compared to the US while accessing a sufficient
talent pool. By hiring a lead engineer locally, they ensured effective guidance for their offshore team
and facilitated seamless communication, laying a strong foundation for future growth.
2. Tap Into Regional Expertise: By opting for offshore hiring, WELL3 has tapped into a broader and
more diverse talent pool equipped with the specialized skills needed to form a robust team in
Southeast Asia. This approach enables them to engage talent that possesses a deeper understanding
of the region, providing insights that resources located elsewhere may not offer.
