About ConnectBooks

Industry SaaS / Accounting Automation
Company Size 10–50 employees
Location United States
Key signal Urgent need for backend developer with SaaS + e-commerce domain knowledge

Challenges

Niche Hiring Profile
ConnectBooks needed a rare mix: strong backend expertise in .NET/C#, experience with Angular, MySQL, API design and fintech — all available in EST hours for a remote-first team.

Time Sensitivity
Their dev team needed help fast to avoid project delays. Internal sourcing was slow, and high-quality profiles were hard to find.

Small Team Fit
The company emphasized cultural fit and autonomy. A wrong hire would risk derailing product timelines and team balance.

Solution

Targeted Outreach to Senior Talent
Code2Day launched a focused campaign across our .NET engineering network, targeting developers with SaaS and accounting platform experience.

128 Candidates Sourced in 7 Days
We engaged qualified talent through personalized outreach, resulting in a highly engaged shortlist within the first week.

Screening & Evaluation
Each candidate was assessed for technical skill, EST availability, English fluency, and team compatibility. Only the top 3 were moved to ConnectBooks’ final stage.

Interview-to-Hire in 22 Days
The process — from sourcing to offer acceptance — took just 22 days, a significant speedup over their internal recruitment pace.

Results

High Precision Hiring
Only 0.8% of candidates sourced were ultimately hired — demonstrating a highly selective, high-quality pipeline.

Time-to-Hire: 22 Days
