The Challenge: Balancing Cost, Quality, and Time in Hiring
Having raised Seed funding in 2024 and growing at a fast pace, Dotsfty was at a critical moment to keep scaling its AI-based platform. However, hiring top-tier ML engineers - especially globally - was a major challenge.
Hiring for ML engineers is never easy. For Dot Safety, it was even harder because:
Upwork flooded them with hundreds of applications in a few weeks, overwhelming the team
Manual screening took hours, slowing down decision making and product development.
Traditional staffing agencies were too expensive, charging 20–30% of annual salaries while offering limited international reach.
"We spent over 30 hours screening candidates, and most weren’t even the right fit." – Tak, Founder of Dotsfty
The Journey: Exploring Alternatives
Before Noxx, Dotsfty tried many alternatives:
Upwork: Too many unqualified applications, excessive screening time.
Direct outreach: Inefficient and lacked strong networks in key markets.
Staffing agencies: Limited global reach and high fees (20–30% of annual salary).
The inefficiency in their hiring process was slowing product development and increasing costs, forcing Tak to rethink their approach.
The Discovery: Finding Noxx Through Founder Networks
Tak discovered Noxx through a personal connection with Kiyo, Noxx’s founder. Given their struggles with Upwork and traditional recruiters, they decided to try Noxx for their next ML engineer hire.
