How Stanley Black & Decker
Hired Silicon Valley
Talent Without
Silicon Valley Prices
“The future of work is already here. While the specifics are still being figured out, the writing is already on the wall, and it’s not 8-5 in an office. That’s when we started to leverage Braintrust. Their network gives us access to vetted and motivated talent when we need it, as often as we need it.”
Mike Keogh
President, Stanley X
The process
The network hosted a talent match call with Mike
Braintrust met virtually with Mike to outline his hiring needs. Then the network helped him publish his job postings for free.
Braintrust gave him immediate access to top talent
In just minutes, Mike got access to a global network of the world’s top tech talent–for a fraction of the cost.
Mike got a talent match in less than 48-hours
Talent specialists introduced him to top tech talent in just a few hours and scheduled interviews that same week.
The obstacles
Local tech giants blocked them from getting the talent they needed
As the new kid on the Silicon Valley block, it was difficult for them to compete for access to local tech talent.
Relocating talent was costly and cumbersome
Few people were willing to uproot their lives and move to Silicon Valley. For the ones who did, they had to pay them 40% more.
Outside agencies weren’t getting the job done
They tried to use outside agencies to source talent but the talent they found weren’t skilled or motivated enough.

“I’ve worked with quite a few staffing agencies and they’re all the same. They bombard you with a list of 10-20 people for each job opening and leave it up to you to sort through the applications. It’s chaos. Braintrust matches you with 3-5 highly compatible talent in just a few hours. And because they let the talent set their rates and keep 100% of what they earn, you never have to worry about motivation.”
