The problem
Age of Learning builds ABCmouse and other learning programmes used by millions of children. They needed senior engineers and an engineering manager in a market where the best people were already employed and not reading job adverts. The search drew on talent networks Skill Torch had built long before the brief arrived: communities of engineers who know Melica from events, the FuturePulse podcast and years of conversations. Because those relationships already existed, the first shortlist landed inside two weeks, and candidates came in already understanding the company and the roles.
