OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Cloud Employee?

We needed to scale our tech team rapidly and flexibly. We wanted a partner to take the complexities of sourcing candidates and hiring away from us, allowing us to focus on our technical roadmap rather than on hiring bureaucracy.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Cloud Employee has helped us hire four senior engineers. The team has handled the sourcing of candidates, technical interviews, and tasks, leaving us to only conduct the last interview stage in-house. Once a candidate is hired, Cloud Employee handles getting laptops arranged, preparing new starters, and initial onboarding steps. The team also handles contracts, payroll admin, ongoing check-ins with our engineers to check on their well-being, and the planning and arranging of learning opportunities.

What is the team composition?

We work regularly with about 3 people from Cloud Employee. However, we are aware that a bigger team is involved with the sourcing of candidates.

How did you come to work with Cloud Employee?

Cloud Employee was referred to us. We chose them over other options because of our trust in the person who refer them to us as well as their high ratings online.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in December 2025, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Indirectly, a lot of the success of our tech team can be traced back to our relationship with Cloud Employee, as the majority of the team has been hired through them. We’ve seen significantly lower turnover (in fact, no one we’ve hired through Cloud Employee has left) and we’ve become a much more productive team, shipping a huge amount of important functionality. Of course, that isn’t solely attributable to Cloud Employee. We’ve also perfected our internal workflows and ways of working, over time but they’ve had a massive impact by making it much easier for us to find and hire the right people.

How did Cloud Employee perform from a project management standpoint?

Cloud Employee's project management is exceptional: they deliver within promised timeframes, even though they hold themselves to really high standards and quick turnarounds. We communicate via virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The outsourcing industry can sometimes have negative connotations attached to it, and I was personally blown away by how much Cloud Employee cares about employee well-being. They're very much aligned with our culture, and this is one of the main reasons I'd recommend them to other companies looking for this type of service.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No company is perfect, but given my engagement with Cloud Employee so far I can't think of anything for them to improve on.

What challenge were you trying to address with Cloud Employee?

We were expanded the team and needed to add skilled resources across development, testing, and production support disciplines. We also wanted to expand our global reach and support extended timezone operations.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Cloud Employee has helped us deliver new features and improve existing ones within our platform to support new client projects and improve the proposition for existing clients. The team has worked with PHP, Laravel, React, TypeScript, and test automation via Playwright.

What is the team composition?

Over the course of the project, we have employed 9 colleagues through Cloud Employee; this has flexed in line with demand.

How did you come to work with Cloud Employee?

Cloud Employee was referred to me, and their staff augmentation model suited my requirements since I wanted to avoid outsourcing or partner-managed services.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in March 2025, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Cloud Employee colleagues have contributed to the successful delivery the several projects, with individuals generally fitting in well within our culture and environment.

How did Cloud Employee perform from a project management standpoint?

Cloud Employee's responsibility is to recruit suitable candidates, monitor their performance through regular check-ins with me, and react and resolve any problems with attendance or performance. They've equipped themselves well in this regard, communicating regularly with their management team who are all professional and driven to provide high service standards.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Cloud Employee has a real focus on relationship management and works well to empathise and deliver on our requests when they arise.

Are there any areas they could improve?

All of our resources are new recruits to Cloud Employee. An added benefit would be a retained bench of resources, understanding their track record and providing confidence in alignment with requirements.
