Build a Hiring Pipeline to Grow Engineering from 18 to 30 in 6 Months

Existing engineering team burns out from conducting too many interviews.

Strictly enforce a maximum number of interview hours per week per engineer (e.g., 3-4 hours) and rotate the interviewer pool.

Lowering the hiring bar in a rush to hit the 30-engineer headcount goal.

Rely strictly on the standardized grading rubrics. If a candidate doesn't meet the rubric, do not hire them, even if behind schedule.

New hires feel disconnected or ramp up slowly due to hybrid/remote setup.

Implement a structured 30-60-90 day onboarding plan and assign a dedicated onboarding buddy to every new hire.
