CASE STUDY

Scaling Technical Teams to Drive Innovation and Product Growth

Atrium partnered with a leading media and marketing services agency to rapidly scale technical teams supporting a major new client and the launch of a proprietary eCommerce data product. Through accelerated hiring and strategic tech leadership placement, we delivered specialized talent that drove execution, innovation, and long-term growth.

the challenge

In 2021, a leading media and marketing services agency approached Atrium with an urgent dual mandate requiring rapid technical team expansion. After securing a significant new account, the company needed to quickly hire a mass influx of roles, primarily in technology and media, to service the partnership effectively.

Simultaneously, our client’s subsidiary specializing in eCommerce data intelligence and consulting was developing a new proprietary product that required specialized talent in application development and analytics expertise to bring this innovation to market.

The timing of these two critical initiatives created a complex talent acquisition challenge in that Atrium needed to build multiple high-performing teams quickly without compromising quality or strategic alignment.

Case Study: Scaling Technical Teams to Drive Innovation and Product Growth

Company Size: 2,400+

Industry: Media & Marketing Services

Footprint: National

Services Offered: Tech Talent Solutions

Partner Since: 2020

Atrium partnered with the media company to execute a comprehensive talent strategy across both initiatives. By combining real-time labor market data with recruiter expertise, our team of specialized recruiters identified and attracted top-tier tech talent in application development and analytics, developing parallel hiring pipelines to support both the client’s account and product development.

Recruitment efforts focused on technology and media professionals who are proven experts with the specific skill sets required for each initiative, as well as industry-shaping insight, technical precision, and forward-looking perspective.

Critically, Atrium identified and placed a senior-level Full Stack Engineer at the SVP level as a principal in the technical development of the company’s new proprietary product. We ensured this strategic hire possessed not only technical excellence but also leadership capabilities to drive innovation and bring the product from concept to reality.

Throughout the engagement, Atrium executed an accelerated hiring process to meet the subsidiary’s timelines while maintaining rigorous quality standards despite the need for speed and volume.

the results

Atrium’s partnership with the client delivered a measurable impact across multiple dimensions. The SVP-level Full Stack Engineer deployed by Atrium worked on developing the proprietary product from concept to completion and secured two patents for novel solutions and products, establishing a competitive advantage in the market.

Atrium also successfully staffed the new account with qualified technology and media professionals, enabling the company to deliver its commitments to a major client.

To date, Atrium has placed 80+ professionals across various initiatives, demonstrating sustained partnership value and consistent delivery of high-quality talent. Our client gained the technical and analytical talent infrastructure needed to support both immediate project demands and long-term product innovation simultaneously.

By understanding the company’s dual objectives and executing on both fronts, Atrium served as a true strategic partner. Our tech staffing expertise played an important role in the client’s growth and innovation initiatives without sacrificing quality or timeline commitments.
