Jaris Scales Hiring + Boosts Engineering Productivity

CHALLENGES

EXPANDING THE ENGINEERING TEAM TO SCALE PRODUCTS QUICKLY

With a global team already in place, Jaris aimed to add members in the western hemisphere to enable efficient, synchronous communication across time zones. This alignment was especially crucial, given the complexity of Jaris’s financial products, which required prompt communication and collaboration.

Patel also needed a hiring partner who could handle every aspect of the hiring infrastructure, from logistics to onboarding, while sourcing skilled engineers with experience in specific technologies.

ENGAGEMENT SUCCESS

PARTNERING WITH TERMINAL TO PROVIDE INFRASTRUCTURE AND STREAMLINE HIRING

The collaboration began in 2021, with Jaris and Terminal identifying the necessary technical skills and communication abilities for ideal candidates. Terminal emphasized an efficient interview process, leveraging its Talent Platform, which allowed Patel to review interview recordings, evaluate communication styles, and confirm technical proficiency without extensive time commitments.

Terminal managed initial interview logistics, coordinated feedback through Slack, and kept the hiring process organized, enabling Jaris’s team to concentrate on assessing candidates directly.

“Terminal’s tools allowed my team to interview candidates easily and offer feedback,” said Patel. “The simplified process was crucial for us, and Terminal made it possible.” said Neel Patel, Head of Engineering at Jaris

LOOKING AHEAD

SUSTAINING GROWTH WITH A FULLY INTEGRATED TEAM

By the end of 2021, Jaris had onboarded three engineers, with two more hires in early 2022, achieving five strategic additions to their team within four months. These hires became essential contributors to Jaris’s projects, with onboarding completed seamlessly through Terminal’s Remote Management Platform. Looking toward Series C, Jaris anticipates even greater expansion in the coming year, confident in Terminal’s ongoing support.
