Company Overview
Tiersphere is a platform that connects nonprofit and alumni communities, enabling them to track volunteer contributions, organize events, and build strong partnerships. COO Jenny Busing joined to streamline operations and set up core hiring systems to scale the team for long-term growth.
The Challenge
When Jenny came on board, Tiersphere was at a pivotal transition point: shifting from an outsourced dev team to their first in-house technical hires. “They had outsourced development to build the MVP but were ready to bring on their first hires internally,” Jenny explained. The challenge was clear - find highly specialized, full-time talent who could define Tiersphere’s future.
Tiersphere was looking for a senior engineer and a CTO.
"I hire developers all the time and the process is always a drag. It’s time-consuming, and as a non-technical former founder, all those resumes start to look the same to me."
Hiring for Jenny used to take at least 20 hours per role, between managing job listings, vetting resumes, coordinating interviews, and technical vetting. Strider’s solution stood out for both efficiency and quality of client support.
Why Strider?
Jenny was referred to Strider through her professional network. After meeting the team, she knew it would be a game-changer.
"Instead of wrestling with job listings and inbox overload, I described what we needed, and they immediately came back with a batch of exceptional candidates."
The Process
Strider took over the heavy lifting of technical hiring from day one. “Strider’s process felt like having an HR partner on my team,” Jenny said. Each step was carefully managed, from candidate sourcing to interview scheduling, allowing her to skip the back-and-forth and focus only on the final stages of decision-making. This process support proved invaluable to a COO juggling multiple startup initiatives.
"Hiring technical talent is the most important thing you do at this stage, but it drains so much mental energy. Strider let me focus on high-level strategy, knowing the hiring was being expertly managed. It’s a tech-enabled, white-glove process. They just took care of it all."
"We’ve gotten some really good people through Strider. The recruitment process and backend HR support were hugely valuable."
