Hims Strengthened Their Development Team to Scale With Demand

CHALLENGES

Hims faced a surge in demand as the business scaled quickly, putting pressure on their internal engineering teams. They needed a solution to expand their development team rapidly, without compromising on the quality of hires.

The high competition for engineering talent in the US also made it difficult to meet their aggressive hiring timelines.

Hims decided to explore nearshore opportunities and turned to Terminal to help build an engineering team in Latin America that could meet their exacting standards.

ENGAGEMENT SUCCESS

Hims partnered with Terminal to implement a strategic talent plan, starting with the hire of a lead engineer to manage a team of six experienced developers. Terminal’s TalentHub and recruitment specialists allowed Hims to fine-tune their hiring process and identify the best candidates quickly.

Within two weeks, Hims hired a team lead, followed by successful placements for their front-end, back-end, and mobile engineering roles. Terminal’s efficient hiring process exceeded expectations, with Hims building a team of eight engineers in less than three months.

The average Submission to Hire ratio was 4:1, significantly reducing the workload for Hims' internal teams and ensuring that high-quality candidates were hired efficiently.

This approach also led to over 40% cost savings, amounting to more than $900K annually, by leveraging Terminal’s nearshore talent solution.

LOOKING AHEAD

Hims is confident that Terminal will continue to deliver top-tier engineering talent that integrates seamlessly with their internal teams. They are planning to grow their nearshore engineering team further, adding another five engineers over the next quarter to continue supporting their rapid expansion.

Hims remains committed to using Terminal as a key partner in its long-term talent strategy, ensuring they can scale their team while maintaining excellence in both technical execution and company culture.
