OneRail | Successfully building up a team with a customized staff augmentation solution

One rail is a logistics company that provides a flexible, predictable, and responsive supply chain solution. They provide a courier network and multimodal fulfillment with access to 9.7M couriers.

The Issue

The company needed to fill several specialized positions —mostly back end developers— to help with their server-side infrastructure.

OneRail Today

One Rail has created an innovative and friction-less delivery process by combining their national footprint of couriers and their skilled Exceptions Assist team. Their Logistics Platform delivers on time and on budget with rate shopping, smart matching, and real-time visibility.

Problem

To support their cutting-edge application and software development, One Rail sought to recruit specialist positions. They needed a highly skilled back end developer right away to help their current development team. They then anticipated employing more developers as their project requirements changed. They needed to make sure that the technical specialist they selected had both the necessary technical and soft abilities. Priorities included minimal staffing expenses and time zone synchronization.

Approach

CodersLink acted fast to identify qualified applicants from its tech talent pool and verified network as soon as they grasped the company’s requirements and timeframe. A back end developer with the necessary technical and interpersonal abilities was hired by One Rail.

Strategy

Because One Rail had no legal entity in Mexico, they were interested in building up their team incrementally by hiring remote developers. The best strategy for them was a customized staff augmentation that adapted to their needs. 

Results

One Rail hired and filled their tech team annual hiring plans within a few months. They hired back end developers through CodersLink, all of which continue to work with them today.
