Using the platform, SeracTech hired at incredible speed to increase headcount by a third, without compromising on the quality of hires and diversity.
The success meant SeracTech could consolidate their hiring stack, and Welcome to the Jungle became one of the main recruitment tools for all functions across the business.
It was crucial for SeracTech, an early-stage business, to widen their reach and showcase their employer brand to attract the top, mission-aligned candidates. With a lean single-person talent team, they were looking for an efficient and effective way to scale the company’s hiring.
With limited capacity in the talent team, the company needed to lean into inbound applications in order to save time. Welcome to the Jungle matching helped them achieve this, doing the heavy lifting so the right candidates were able to discover and apply to SeracTech’s roles.
Crucially, the strong inbound application channel worked even for the most competitive roles. Mike saw an opportunity to hire more female technical talent as they built out the team, but these candidates are generally trickier to attract and engage in the market.
“We’d tried other job boards and hiring solutions, but the results we saw on Welcome to the Jungle were superior to other platforms we had used. Others in the market didn’t generate the necessary volume or quality of applications, limiting our ability to scale the team”

As well as providing access to top-tier candidates, SeracTech partnered closely with their dedicated Customer Success Manager (CSM). Quarterly Business Reviews, monthly meetings and regular contact in between helped to successfully optimise and inclusively position the job descriptions, with 70% of inbound applications coming from an underrepresented group.
“I definitely wouldn't have been efficient enough if it wasn't for the work of our CSM.
For someone who's working by themselves and trying to scale very quickly, it was immensely helpful to have their perspective around where we can improve on positioning our jobs”
Mike Taylor, Talent at SeracTech
We’re looking forward to helping them continue to hire talent as they continue to grow the team.
