Challenge
Homeroom needed to grow its engineering bench across two experience levels at once.
Homeroom's platform handles enrollment, billing, and operations for school auxiliary programs — afterschool, camps, and enrichment. Scaling the product meant adding a senior engineer who could own complex problems, and a junior engineer who could grow with the team.
Running two searches with different bars at the same time, while building the product, was more than Homeroom's team wanted to take on alone.
Solution
Recruitcha ran both searches in parallel, screening each candidate against the right bar for their level.
Recruitcha sourced and screened for both roles at once — evaluating the senior candidate for ownership, technical depth, and independent judgment, and the junior candidate for strong fundamentals and growth trajectory. Each candidate was assessed against the standard for their specific level before being introduced, so Homeroom's team reviewed a shortlist tailored to each role, not a single undifferentiated pool.
Results
Homeroom hired a junior and a senior engineer in 3 weeks.
- Fast, parallel time-to-hire. Both the junior and senior Software Engineer searches closed in 3 weeks, letting Homeroom's team keep its roadmap on track.
- Balanced team growth. Homeroom added engineering capacity at two levels at once, without running two disconnected search processes.
- Quality without the legwork. CEO Casandra S. described the search as effortless — Recruitcha handled sourcing and screening so Homeroom's team could focus on final interviews.
