How Fiber AI solved their scaling challenge with Bolto
"It's hard to overstate the value of being able to find and onboard an entire team of quality engineers in under 10 days. Bolto took all the recruiting weight off of our shoulders and let us focus on building."
The Problem: Fiber was growing and didn't have time to spend searching for engineers
For startups like Fiber AI, shipping new features fast isn’t just critical for growth – it's necessary to stay alive.
Fiber AI helps companies automate prospecting and outbound sales workflows using AI. They’ve been a client of Bolto since finishing Y-Combinator’s 2023 batch.
After Fiber got out of the S23 batch, they knew they had to buckle down and build. They were going after a competitive market and needed an incredible product to compete.
CEO Adi Agashe began to look for engineers to help build Fiber. Adi didn’t want to make the mistake the YC partners had always told him not to make – blowing his entire hiring budget on an expensive SF FAANG engineer, but he didn’t know where else to look.
That’s when he found Bolto.
Solution
Bolto's hiring platform uses AI to source global developers with a track-record of shipping quality code. Then, it runs them through an AI technical assessment and behavioral screen to ensure candidates have engineering talent and will be a culture fit.
Fiber AI used Bolto to shortlist engineers. Adi was able to filter by geographic region, monthly budget, and technical skillset to find developers that matched his needs and quickly set up interviews.
"Simply put, Bolto gives you the best candidates faster than you could get them anywhere else. It would have taken me hours to find the right candidate on LinkedIn or Fiverr, but Bolto's AI found me genuinely great profiles right away."
Within just 10 days of Adi’s first contact with Bolto, his vetted developers were onboarded and had already shipped their first features.
Results
With their new, robust engineering team, Fiber got to work developing a killer product. They've since blown past $1M ARR and are on track to continue growing at a rapid pace.
“Bolto's AI sourcing and vetting saved our company from the usual time sink that comes with recruiting stellar candidates. The platform has been a game-changer for us as we’ve grown.”
