Why did they come to Uplers?
Budget, getting resumes for the job opening was never an issue for Tripadvisor getting the right, vetted and skilled talent for the role delayed their hiring process. This hindered their team expansion vision.
Challenges
Finding the right technical expertise and cultural fitment
Tripadvisor aimed to expand its tech team but struggled to find qualified Software Engineers within its current talent pool.
Finding candidates with the right mix of technical expertise and cultural fit was a significant challenge for them.
They looked at the Indian talent pool but the challenge was high applicant volume but difficulty finding relevant niche skill sets and ensuring cultural fit for new hires to integrate effectively in the team.
Existing hiring vendor issue
Existing hiring partners struggled to deliver the niche skill sets needed for Tripadvisor's product-driven environment. Essentially, finding the right custom-fit candidates to achieve their team objectives became a significant hurdle.
Hiring delays hampered scaling the tech team and threatened Tripadvisor's competitive edge in the travel tech industry.
